7.and OH,i dropped a teacup today.RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.i could even see bits of glasses flying towards the customers.
TA DAH.there,MY HALL OF FAME(:
working in the morning shift is really different from evening shift.in the morning shift,i get to meet more ppl from different countries(READ:communication breakdown)
eg.
(i go around asking if they want coffee or tea)
me:EXCUSE ME SIR/MADAM,coffee or tea for you?
customer:YES YES
me:(smiling broadly)SO COFFEE OR TEA SIR/MADAM?
customer:(smiling rather confidently)YES YES YES.
me:(smile wavering a little)ERM,SO COFFEE FOR YOU?
customer:NO NO NO,I WANT TEA
me:.....
and then there are the other group of ppl...
me:COFFEE OR TEA FOR YOU SIR?
customer:HMMMMMM....
me:or would you like a cup of water?
customer:HMMMMMM....
(starts asking his companion what is his/her choice,which marks the start of a discussion of picking THE right one out of 3 choices)
AFTER A WHILE......
customer:MAY I HAVE A CUP OF.........................
LATTE PLEASE?
ahhhhhhh.i honestly think my tolerance level decreased significantly.
I EVEN MAKE FUN OF PPL IN MY HEAD.
eg.WHAT'S THAT WOMAN WEARING?!she looks like a 100 yr-old dumpling.EEEEE
I SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING LUH.
and i should drag my body into the bathroom to bath.
AND GET SOME SLEEP.
