yeah. like finally, i feel like blogging. kayjoo started her part-time job at daytripper yesterday. but i think the next day for her work is like next week or something. not very sure about that.
went to sp open house on saturday with yuenchen and kenneth. it was nice and im glad i get to spend the open house with them. i got my pay a week ago i guess. bought two tops from 37degrees, a fleshimp jacket and a brown shoulder bag from mimimomo. all 3 shops were having discounts. and i also bought a lipgloss and dark circles reliever from basic beauty. so like, yeah!! many of the stuff are from heeren. haha. but seriously, i spent alot already. plus i bought lingerie and hangten jeans. so i've already bought majority of the items i want. shall be leaving havaianas, three-quarter pants and more tops for my next pay. and maybe, contact lens. hahah.
working at minitoons is pretty alright for me. its just that it may get boring at times. but its alright cos i know its part of the job to get bored too. but somehow, i just enjoy working at heeren. its like i've made new friends and have got on good terms with the people there and i dont want to change that. frankly, i loathe to have to go to other outlets to help out. i think the feeling suck. the manager went for a meeting yesterday, and its normally in this kind of meetings where they also make decisions on staff transfer and so on. so really, if i really have to be transfered to other outlets, permanently or something, i guess i'll just have to break my promise of working at least 3 months, after being a full-timer and find other jobs at heeren. although im saving up for a laptop, im not really desperate for the job im doing now. i may be deperate for a job but im not desperate for a job a minitoons. get my point? so its like i'm trying my best to do my job well and to fulfill my responsibility but if in a way or two, i get displeased in my working environment or something, bye bye! i dont really care either. and yes, i know that my manager managed to convert me as a full-timer and it wasnt easy or as what she claimed. seriously, although it would still benefit me to earn more by helping out at other outlets perhaps because of the better sales and the possibility of earning comission is also higher, im already very contented to be able to receive a pay of arnd 1k even after CPF deduction. so really, dont transfer me to other outlets. plus, dont give me excuses like "then maybe you can also earn the comission from there and it will help in you saving up for the laptop lorh..". it won't work on me. u can kindly go over there to help it out urself and get the comission for yourself.
mmm. talking about work, actually i can complain alot. like really, the sales at heeren is not good. infact, bad. especially during weekdays after school has reopened. but i like to work at heeren. and the thing is, when the sales is bad, the blame is on us. US, the workers. then they will say things like,"why is the sales so bad?!" and something like that and remind us to push the sales. like, come on lah. what has it got to do with us that the sales is bad? so what if we did try to push the sales? not many people is attracted by your products of impractical items. how can we be blamed when nobody wants to come into the shop? WAKE UP!! its year 2007 already! if u ever want to improve the sales, change to selling more practical items instead. maybe that will help. plus, lets say if the sales is $783 or something, just a little bit more to the nearest hundred, the SRM (i did not indicate who the SRM i) will say things like,"next time if the sales figure is like this, i expect the figure to be to the nearest hundered..". P.S. if u dont get the point, what the SRM is implying is that you should be buying something and add it to the sales figure, so it would be to the nearest hundred. thats simply so outrageous.
so do you actually see how the whole thing goes? the SRMs wants good figures so they can report to their bosses. hence, the SRMs adds pressure on to our manager and the manager adds pressure to us, the retail associates. isnt it a nice term they've got for us? hmmm. wonder how their stupidly-punny-brain actually works.
so once again, i may be desperate for a job but its not a job at minitoons. and remember, we cant always be blamed for the bad sales, kuku heads.
but, whatever. im done with my complaining liao. well. it isnt that im still happy there because my friends are there, working along with me in the same shopping mall. and its a job where customer service is the key element. thats what keeps me going. and i confess, there were times when i neglected customer service. but who dont? but if there really is a need that displeases me or the manager there, i'll just leave the job. i wont kneel and beg you kukus to keep me.
smiles! hah. anw, i've changed my phone to nokia 6233, a 3G phone. muhahahaa. i still prefer "bar" phones to flip ones, ever since my first samsung flippy spoilt. phobia man. and my current phone is a very beautiful white colour phone. ((:
