21 more days

i cant wait to get out of here. i hate work. it's driving me nuts.

there's absolutely no welfare in this place, all they care about is making money. welcome to the business world, ms business student. sigh.

yesterday it rained, so i had to close all but 1 wagon, and send everyone home cos they didnt want to pay pple. and when the rain stopped 2 hours later, they wanted me to open 4 wagons, with nobody. they wanted me to call pple up in their rooms and make them come back to work. i called debbie and told her not to pick up the phone. heh. john (the area sup) said that technically we belong to cedar point while we're here and we should be on call 24/7. siao. that guy has no life.

but i was happier today. maybe cos i tot i had everything under control, and i was looking forward to coming home early. here's what i did today.

7.15 woke up
7.32 left the house to run for the 7.35 bus
7.47 arrive at work and call in to say im in, and then proceed to clean the wagons outside, armed with gloves, windex and A LOT of paper towels.
8.20 start doing morning inventory counts and all paperwork
8.32 yong chang arrives to open one wagon
9.00 'the star-spangled banner' plays and im still at camp. im late for the meeting @grandstand.
9.03 i'm at the meeting drinking pink lemonade from the pop machine. yesterday i saw john eating an m&m brownie ice-cream which they sell there, and sam (the sup @ grandstand) was eating nachos which sell for $4.25
9.14 meeting ends cos they really dun have anything to tell us.
9.30 - 12 opening wagons, which is a crazy and laborious procedure, including filling 3 sippers(push carts) with 72 bottles of water, 144 bottles of soft drinks, and 48 bottles of gatorade each.
12 - 4 stocking all the wagons with dipping dots boxes (which is about about 13.8 kg a box) and syrup for the ice kachang machine which is 2 gallons each; and a whole load of crap, and running to cash control, which is a 7 min walk away, twice, to get small change for the wagons.
4-4.15 attempting to go on break
4.20-5.20 break!!!! but i went back 5 mins early anyway.
5.20 - 6.20 giving another grandstand sup (kiantay) a break, which i enjoyed cos it was indoors and i didn't have to walk.
6.20 - 6.40 attemting to go home.
6.43 signed out! (10.3 hours worked today)
6.43 - 7.05 waited for john to get done with his stuff so that i could give him a lift home. sheesh. i was only being nice cos he gave me a macdonald's muffin for breakfast. heh.
7.05 - 7.19 walking to the car which yongchang parked like 5 miles away. haha, but everyone had to park there today.
7.19 - 7.30 going to shell so that john can buy a carton of cigarettes. heh. managed to talk to him quite a bit. that guy does not have a life at all. work and sleep is his life. poor thing.
7.30 - 8.15 go home, shower and make small talk with my slovakian roommate.
8.15 - 8.30 walked to the rec centre and took random pictures of the sky on the way, attracting the attention of some ang moh.
8.30 - 10.30 trying to figure out what to bid for and anyhow whacking anyway.
10.30 - now debbie just walked into the rec centre and i'm typing this entry.
10.30 - 2am go home, cook dinner, go to the supermarket, sleep.

8.30am wake up cos the wait for the bus is expected to be 1 hour long.
10am -3am work
