Starting a new month

Hey I'm back :D again
Well I'm always back since I always have a long break between each post :P

I bet most of my readers has stopped coming back anyway but I'll write this for myself to remember.


4 days ago I started working as a waiter. Getting this job was so easy. Before this I have already been looking for a job since my exams ended which was before Deepavali I think. About half a month trying to look for a job, at pyramid and at parade.

At first I tried a few places which said that they would call back. Before this my friend has told me that when they say " we'll call you back " it means NO! they are just wasting your time making you fill up an application form about 2-4 pages long?

For the second time, I tried my luck at Nando's again. This time the " good manager " was there but he asked me to come back at 3 as it was lunch hour and they were busy. I came back at 3 and the " not good manager " was there with the good one. Of I forgot to mention I went with my friend. They asked us to sit and they both were talking. Soon they called my friend and wanted to hire her but they said she had to work till 1130 the latest shift. She couldn't as she was still busy and it might be too late for her, so she asked them to hire me instead. I got it :D

I was so happy getting a first YES. I was to start the next they and they prepared everything for me. After that I met up with Azhad and the others. Azhad told me he got a job at Dome and he was alone, so he asked me to join him. Without any hopes, I asked Dome for the 2nd time. Well on the spot the manage interviewed me and I was hired.

Comparison between Dome and Nando's

Dome | Nando's
Paid RM5/hour | RM4/hour

Working
life Always on the move, busy | No idea

Freebies Iced Tea on request/ random drinks | I think soft drinks?

Staff meal Only on Fridays and Saturdays | Yes, after 8 working hours
( i think Picked from menu )

Well I chose Dome since Azhad was alone but I didn't know that he would be working for only 1 month. After that 1 month, I WILL BE ALONE ! :(

1 word for the customers of dome, Gods. The customers are treated like one. Everything is done by the waiters. Enough of work talk hehe.



Signing out, a dome waiter.
