1 month anniversary

Today is 5th of February.
Just a month ago,
i was all anxious and excited.
It was the day i started working.
I had full of hopes for my new job.
In fact, i was elated that i got myself a job.
I laid my first step into my workplace smiling and was all energetic from head to toe.
Everything about cashiering was new,
the machine fascinates me,
i was so curious about the functions of all the buttons.
The system too sparked my inquisitive mind.
The way things are done, the procedures and rules that keeps everything in order.
Everything that enabled such a huge hypermarket to function.
Everyday was a new beginning,
everyday i yearn to learn something new.

But sadly,
just a month later.
There is nothing left to inspire me.
All the "WOW" factors have now became "Bore" factors.
I go to work daily, feeling lifeless and dull.
The typical 'sian' feeling.
There is nothing new to me anymore.
And the job is nothing more than a pain.
I simply detest the nature of the job.
The monotony, the repetition.
Worst of all,
i have to suffer in silence.
I am a cashier not a servant,
why do i have to endure all the customers' nonsense without uttering a word.

An example.
Today, one stupid auntie was making payment at my counter.
After packing for her, she shaft me her card.
After swiping, i returned it to her while she took out her money.
As she paid her $70 bill with $10 notes, obviously i had to count a few times to check.
Then, i forgot that she had already given me her card.
Thus, i asked if she had a card.
She showed me her card and i looked at my screen, and i realised that i had already swiped it.
Upon realising my folly, i smiled.
Instead, what i got from her was a snide remark.
"Boy, working don't blur like a sotong!" she scolded in chinese.
I was like "WTF?! what did i do to deserve this".
If this wasn't enough, she started showing me an ultra back(and F up) face as if i killed her parents.
Then, commented very rudely that she wanted to see the receipt.
I was like fine, see la.
I was so angry can, what the hell man.
I felt like telling her that if there is nothing wrong withe receipt she better come back and let me give her one tight slap on the bitchy pissed off face.
Totally, wth la.
I was trying my best to control myself, not to talk back.
Eh please la, who don't make mistakes.
N all i did was to ask a second time, not as if will cost ur life or i double charge u right.
WtF la, Not happy go other counter la.
Like i dying to serve u like that.

This is just one case la.
There is like so many pissed off people out that who are so stinking stubborn and like to push their weight around as if we cashiers are their maids/servants.
Please hor, i hope u get ur retribution.
Arrogant snobs, so rich so mighty don't come la.
This is for middle income people, if u r so great jolly well go some private supermarket that has 101 servants for u to kick around.
I am totally not ur servant and do not need such treatment.
Shame on u, lived half ur life without even learning the most basic value.
Respect.
In fact, i should pity u since u lived half ur life in your own world.

This job sucks to the core.
The job nature is totally shitty.
It will be fine if i was showered with a hefty pay to appease my daily torment.
However, not only is the job shitty, the pay is nowhere better.
Wth?
I am paid as if i am uneducated.
Must well i don't even attend primary school to begin with.
Then this job and such pay would be something i had not complains about.
Outrages.
Don't even know why i was so desperate for a job that i settled for this from the start.
Anyway,
tmr would be my last day.
The pay slip i recieved today was the last straw.
Upon looking at it, i wondered what was i slogging for the whole of last month.
Not even 1k, what the...
This job is definitely unsustainable, i will just leave.

On the other hand,
on the other end of the bad stuff are the good stuff.
The people there are really very kind an friendly.
When i say people here i meant the staff.
They are all so warm and nice.
I would really miss them.
My supervisors treats me very well too,
they are generally very nice, not the bossy type.....
They are the opposite of the "typical boss everyone hates in the office".
They treats us like their friends.
Well, not all the chief cashiers, but quite a few.
So nice that i did not know how to tell her about my resignation.
Anyway, i still got myself to say it in the end.
Btw, today there was a buffet for all staff in the pantry.
So nice right?
Cater for us.

Haiz,
Don't wanna leave my newly made friends, including all the cashier aunties and uncles.
They always bring much laughter.
But, the job is just unsustainable.
Luckily, it had only been a month and its still easy to uproot myself.
Well, one more day.

Ok, now lets go back to yesterday.
It was my off day and i went swimming with ck.
It was been quite a while since i swam.
Well, it was great.
I felt very relaxed after swimming.
After the many laps, i felt that all the aches i had developed from my job were slightly relieved and i feel good.
On the hind side.
Its time i step up on my exercise routine.
My fitness is staggering down the drain.

Ok, till here.
Cya.
Scott signs off.
