me and my career

supposed to go for my on-job evaluation today at starbucks...full of expectations abt how much fun i would be havign going back to an environment that i once loved...cant wait to pull my first shot of expresso..chat wif my first customer...have fun at a job that i once had 6 yrs ago...then....

i woke up late!!! supposed to be at work at 10am and i woke up at 955am!!! damn! called the manager, apologise and cooked up some stupid excuse abt having to go back to the office..hehe...

reached there at 1045am...apologise...manager brief me abt where the stuff are kept...wat i'm supposed to do..blah blah...
well, basically..i'm supposed to be working like a regular barista..only this time i'll be scrutinized by the manager from head to toe....
time passed...clear a few tables...talk a bit of cok...made a few frap..(wah liew! must they make the drink calling for frap so tongue twisting??!!)...wash dishes..(wah liew! damn f*#king heavy leh!)...
i'm day dreaming...cant wait for time to pass...finding things to do...this whole thing is getting on my nerves...i dunno wat to talk to the customers abt...i dun even know wat to talk to my partners abt...cant wait for this to end...

4pm! finally....had a debrief with the manager...i'm outta here...
as i walked away...i realised...i'm too old for this...i've no longer the energy to be at 5 places at the same time, talking to the customers like they are my best frens...my body's aching like mad! i feel that i really need a shower to get rid of the coffee smell...

that's it...i'm back to my comfortable office..with aircon..where i can sit and do my work! even if it means i get paid peanuts!
