suddenly i get this feeling of a dislike for working at cocoa trees. i must admit that i'm a person who cannot stand being alone for excessive periods of time, and my job at cocoa trees just reaffirmed that for me. initially i thought there'll at least be someone else working together with me? but it turns out that only one person works at each store (except the more crowded stores located in the depature hall) =\
somehow, i feel that this job is sucking the intelligence out of me! i'm just sitting at the counter, watching travellers collect their luggage. and hoping that some will walk into the shop and buy a whole lof of stuff! at the same time, keeping a look out for the boss or any of the supervisors in case they decide to pay a "surprise" visit! cos if they ever catch me writing letters during working hours, i think i'll be as good as sacked! =P
on the otherhand, because of my job, i'm actually able to sit down by myself to pen my thoughts and just think about the many things of life! one thing i've just enlightened myself to (while writing a letter to my friend) is that i've finally understood why a close relationship with God is always so important! sometimes when i feel distant from God as a result of not spending enough time with Him, i try to instead find comfort and reassurances in things that are material - friends, books, television etc. but i realise that when i'm continually seeking God and acknowledging His presence, even the simplest things i do become a joy! =) and that's when i truly appreciate the meaning of the "joy of the Lord is my strength" cos it's when i feel glad and happy about things that i'm actually spurred and motivated on to perform it better! =)
when i was closing the store, i was super stressed cos the guy who came to relieve me when i took my dinner break didn't keep a copy of the visa receipt of one transaction. so my total amount didn't tally with the amount shown on the receipt and being a new part-time staff like i am, i panicked and well, was just stressed out cos i didn't know what time the taxi man (the guy who sends all the staff home) would leave the airport. =\ argh. just glad that the day is over! had to pay $2 cos i think i gave someone the wrong change somewhere.. groan. oh well.
word of advice: next time when a cashier gives u the wrong change, just try to return the excess to him/her? cos it's a very sucky feeling for the cashier to have to top up the balance at the end of the day! i'm speaking from experience! =P
