The Ripped Soul

Wow wee. Orientation... hmm. It went pretty well actually. Managed to catch little bit of things here and there. The TRG MGR was pretty darn funny and could connect with all of us. He knew when to be serious, and when to joke to keep us entertained and awake. About the friends bit, I have no idea why but I was SO depressed when he told me that I'd be working in a different store than my new-found friends. And no, the guys I befriended weren't mats.

Surprisingly actually, my newfound friend was a nice catholic boy from a decent place. He was nice enough to introduce himself and have a conversation while we were waiting outside the store. Then he and another guy kept me company all throughout training.

But, har de har, he's posted to forum. [He said he'd pop by SC whenever he can though.. how true is that, I have no idea..] The other guy was Wilson.. he reminded me of Dopey from the Dwarfs. Lol. He looked so sleepy, so tired, and was amusingly blur [eg: at lunch he could test us about the things in the booklet, but when he was questioned the SAME thing later in the day, he'd stone for a couple of minutes before shrugging his shoulders.. haha.]

The TRG MGR made the work sound quite .. stressful, again, surprisingly.. seeing how its a toy store. Return/Exchange policies, RGDs, phone calls... the like. The manners, the mannerisms, the way you present yourself, attitude... everything counts. Its mad. I look at my booklet and I'm completely lost.

Furthermore, they don't tell you where you're posted to.. like the sales, cashiering etc. So now I gotta read about EVERYTHING on the floor. Can't just specialize in one section.. which sucks cos its pretty darn late now and I really don't wanna flip through anything. AND IM STARTING WORK TOMORROW. MORNING! At 9. Gahk.

Sigh.. You know, I have no idea why I was feeling so awkward earlier in the office.. I think maybe its cos I'm not in bss anymore and I'm not used to the badhats, I just felt so out of place when the ahbeng dude was posted to the same outlet as me. I might be judging a lil early though.. there may be some good fellas around.. but at the moment, I just feel alienated. Like an apple placed in a chocolate section or something.

Sigh.. shan't think about making friends now. Just go to work, do my job and serve customers well.. Oh yes.. another thing. PLEASE AH, if you know where I'm working, don't.. PLEASE don't.. don't come and kacau me. For nothing I'll panic and do something wrong and get f'ed.

Payday comes 3 days after my birthday. :(

And talking about toys, I HATE how my name comes after a doll by the same name. The guys kept saying it was easy to remember the doll's branding thanks to me. *rolls eyes* And even the mgr gave a hint when he was asking questions about the doll. Eg:

him: What is another pvt label for the Girl's world?
trainee: er..er.. er..
him: The brand name is also of another girl here sitting in this room.. *points to me*
trainee: AH! JESSICA!

Waaaaa.. sickening. Haha.

Other than that, that was orientation I guess. I hope I do fine tomorrow on first day. He prank called a newbie earlier at the entrance just to see how they answer phone calls. Terrible man...

Alright, its getting late. I'll end here. Post again tomorrow to tell about my first day. Nite!
