~My Tribute To Michael~

Well, as everyone can see... We have have another person parting with us, and this time... Its Michael... Haiz... I really don't understand why separation always seems inevitable. Coming to the society to work has always been an eye-opener for me, but I really hate it when I see people leave... It really hurts... And it hurts deeply...

It seems that words can't describe how I felt when I have to talk to Michael during his last few moments in RX. I can't bear to see him go... Someone whom I really respect a lot... The way he carries himself... His abilities to keep bond between the chefs as well as us working on service line.

It is always fun working with him... He cracks lame and dirty jokes in front of us... I can NEVER forget the time when I talked to him and he gave a really loud fart in front of me... It was so hilarious... hehe... In the kitchen, he would always give either a strict or a faceless kind of expression. I pity Mason sometimes when he executes mistakes... Michael would flare up and scold him or toss food/utensils into the basin when he is angry at him. However, there is always a kind of mutual understanding between us and the chefs even though both sides screw up at certain occasions.

I'm really happy for him for getting this far, when I first joined TCC, he was only a Commis 1, after that he was promoted to Junior CDP and now to a full-fledged CDP. He really deserved the promotion! This picture was taken during his last day at RX.
BEFORE AFTER



Funny isn't it... lol.... I guess this is the last time I'm going to see this kind of things happening again... haiz... Nevertheless, Michael... All the best in your endeavours!!! I know you can do it... Passion drives in and excels on work tasks...

Taken For Granted

Now I'm back to work contributing more time means I'm exposing myself to more mistakes... Don't get me wrong, it's not mistakes from work tasks but complications on human relation. :)

I was somewhat offended by Erin when she questioned me regarding the schedule I'm giving next week. I wrote Mon 9-5, Tue Anytime, Wed before 7, Thur 9-5 and Fri Anytime. It hit me when she asked why I could not work night and I told her I did give 'Anytime' for Tue and Fri. After that, she began to ask for the remaining days why I couldn't and I felt ridiculed!

1) She is NOT the one doing the schedule, it's Tim who does it.
2) I am not obliged to tell her my commitments after my work.
3) Why is she not asking the rest of the staff for the schedule when they have finished their exams too.
4) The way she questioned me regarding my schedule seems to be telling me that I MUST work closing shift for the outlet.
5) I am a part-timer, my work time is FLEXIBLE for god's sake.

Second issue, It was normal crowd in RX and everything was fine. Erin offered to help Yunz to wash cups and so she went leaving me by myself outside to overlook the situation. I was alright with it because it was still manageable. When the crowd started to disperse, I carried the cups and plates to Erin and she started to complain that the drinks needed to wash are never-ending. At this point of time, I'm irritated again! If you want to help someone, please DO NOT COMPLAIN about it, it was YOU who chose to help so there's no room for argument or complain. I kinda told her something which was politically incorrect, this is what I said, '' you choose to help her in the first place, '' this sentence defintely irritated her.
I know I do not have the right to tell her this but it just spilled right out of my mouth so, KOMENASAI!!!

Now, I shall explain why this is an issue again,
1) Yunz can manage herself in the bar, its not a slam or something.
2) At that point of time, operation outside is more important than what is in the bar area.

Third issue, before going back home, she told me I've ALWAYS been complaining about the music in the outlet the WHOLE time. I told her I've only mentioned it once when she was infront of me, and so to her, ALWAYS=WHOLE=ONE RIDICULOUS TIME!? Wow, what an equation! After that, she told me I kinda offended Starkey because the time I was complaining, Starkey was infront of me. I felt sorry and messaged Starkey immediately to apologise to him, issue settled...

Phew... This happened during my second day of work and I'm already starting to complain. SHIT! I just hope the remaining days would be smooth-sailing as it goes...

''At this point of time, It's not about impressing someone but to maintain a good job on the things you are doing right now.'' This is a quote SOMEONE told me, you should know who you are. ;) This really applies to Erin, I think she is really trying too hard impersonate someone who isn't herself. Haiz... I hope she understands it... someday... (REALLY HOPE)

Well, it's none of my business anyway! I'm just gonna WORK! WORK! WORK! My band would be heading to Japan next year!!! Can't wait for it to come...

P.S. Starkey, sorry again ya!
