Today marks my last day as a part timer. I am going to miss working in the hospitality sector very very much. It's hard work but it's really fun as well. Today before I left, the current owner at Plush gave me a chocolate cupcake and told me she thought I was the nicest girl there and she liked me a lot from the first day she met me, awwwwwww. And apparently, the previous owner told her that I was his favourite. That explains why he never yelled at me hehe. I wonder why though, I'm a horrible employee considering how many times I pissed my manager off =S.
I'm sitting on my bed typing, enjoying my soy chai. Drinks i'm into now, all thanks to my fantabulous coffee machine:-
Half soy latte (no proper name for it but it's basically cafe latte with half milk and half soy)
Soy chai
Hot chocolate made from expired Homebrand Cocoa powder and Milo
Ok, I'm starting work next Tuesday (4 day week ftw!). Can't say I'm excited. Excited was when I got the call about the offer. From then on, I've been scared, nervous and even feeling a lil bit regretful. I'm scared that I'm not good enough for this job, considering that I don't have the qualifications for it. The position I applied to was for a Software Engineer graduate. Yet, they hired me. My new boss; the guy i'll be reporting directly to; told me before they offered me the job that they're hiring me not because of my technical skills but because they liked me. Hmmm wait.... am I getting jobs just because people like me? I mean, there was once my manager wanted to fire me but the previous owner was against it. Anyway, now I'm just nervous coz new boss gave me some links to learn a new programming language, C# and I haven't started and it's almost Tuesday. Dad doesn't sound too happy bout this job coz he thinks the pay is not high enough and I'm supposed to take up a programming course and pay for it myself. Mum thinks the pay is not high enough as well. Keeps telling me to continue going for the grad program interviews and if I get in, ditch this job. So I told her, I can't exactly go for interviews now that I have a full time job as they're during business hours. I really wanted a R&D position but because of this (very subtle) pressure of getting a higher paying job, I can't enjoy this supposed achievement, meh!
OKay enough writting, this is starting to make my blog boring, pictures to come!
