Part-Time Job
Hello! It has been a long time since I have updated my blog. I love slacking at home; using the computer, listening to music and watching television. Females are good at multi-tasking.
The reason why I didn't blog for a week (or maybe more than a week) is because I had a part-time job from Monday to Friday. My job is a sales promoter selling abalones. Sounds boring right? Yes, actually it was quite boring after day 1. Imagine yourself repeating the same lines over and over again for 5 days.
"Hi good afternoon sir/madam. Do you wish to buy abalone? This can of abalone is from New Zealand. Inside is one and a half piece. This can is from Australia, inside there are 4 to 7 pieces of small abalones. The Australia abalone is slightly softer than the New Zealand one since the New Zealand is more chewy. Next is mexico abalone. it costs $78 because inside is one full piece, bigger than New Zealand abalone."
I can say the above paragraph extremely fast now. I can also memorize the before and after discount prices.
Even though selling abalone was boring, the job was still enjoyable because my jc classmates were working as well. Except that they were not selling abalones, they were in-charged of packing the products. Packing the products may sound boring but at least they had the opportunity to slack around and work together with their friends. I only joked and talked to them during lunch break.
Sometimes I would leave my stall and do the packing as well. However, on the last day of work, I got scolded by my manager for leaving my stall for too long. Leaving Sok Hwa alone for a long period. In the end I was sort of like grounded at my stall. Fortunately I got grounded, because the manager asked sok hwa to pick up litter after that.
Oh yeah, talking about sok hwa. She is my sister's friend. Her job was the same as mine, a promoter for abalones. Working with her was fun because at least she made the job less boring. Sok Hwa even joined in for the Seoul Garden dinner with us. Roy, especially, could get along well with her. ^^
Ray, Roy, Alvin and Jonathan will be working on January for the New Year sales, doing the same job as this sales. As for me, I will not be going back to work on January because I think studies take a higher priority. Hmm.. overall, I would say that this part-time job was pretty fun. The only things that were disappointing was that snobbish manager and stereotypical image of females. -.-
