I Love Pets~ Woot!Ahaha.. again haven't been blogging for quite some time, due to my working hours.
Really been busy with work since Monday, but it's busy mixed with enjoyment. For the first time, i find a job that i really enjoy, with a nice environment and colleagues that i like.
I started my on-job-training with Pet Lovers Centre at Holland Village as a retail sales assistant on Monday, which will last til this coming Sunday.
Basically, the training is for me to learn the day-to-day operations of the shop itself as well as the correct ways of retailing since this is my first retail experience. Like how to do cashier-ing, and accepting payments by nets and credit cards, for example.
My supervisor and colleagues are really friendly and i got accustomed to the place and work pretty quickly, considering my 'shaky' start-off. I still remember serving my first customer, and my hands were literally shaking when i was handing him his change..-_-; But i'm like a pro now wahaha! =x Joking.. i still make some mistakes once in a while, but my supervisor is nice enough not to scold me. =P
Anyway, it's really true that alot of 'ang mo's stay at that area, coz i think the number of 'ang mo's i served for the past few days is already more than the number of 'ang mo's i met for a year. O_O A good chance to brush up my english.. and bio at some yandao 'ang mo's.. and hopefully snag one as my bf.. =xxx
Anyway, the same goes for dogs as well. Many ppl who came to our shop brought along their dog(s) so i get to play with one or two once in a while, probably coz there's a dog-grooming parlor next to us. I consider this as a perk of my work. =x (Just for clarification, our shop is located on the 2nd floor, and we share the area with a shop that sells dog clothes, a dog-grooming parlor, and Pick-A-Pet - a shop that sells pets. Even then, Pet Lovers Centre takes up most of the space.) Moreover, opposite our shop is Pick-A-Pet, and they sell some really cute puppies and dogs, whose adorable antics i get to stare at everyday. XD
The only problem i'm having now is that, since i'm working shifts, and i don't get my work schedule til like a week before, it becomes difficult for me to plan for anything too far off into the future. Therefore, i'm having trouble trying to plan for my driving lessons now. Headache.. and not to mention, feetache from having to stand and walk around for more than 9 hours everyday. >_<"
But all in all, i'm enjoying my work alot, and i hope to get better at it, to better serve my customers. It really feels great when a customer praises me for my services, and it shows that my efforts are appreciated. =D
