It took me quite some time to think of how to write this post. I’ve decided that I won’t really care about my grammar that much. Since this is my personal space, it is my way of expressing myself and everything else. If anyone out there that can’t tolerate bad grammar, you are warned. *ngek*
This post is going to be about my 1st week at work (all night shifts).
1st March 2008, Saturday
My manager straight away put me in cashier duty. When I started my job, he told me that cashier job is quite easy but warned me that if any money loss it will be under my responsibility. I got the message and did my duty the best I know how. Although I was quite nervous, I did my best to carefully count the money and change back to the customers. My supervisor guided me well most of the time. When it is about time to close to shop, I have to close the account. The account was short by RM50++. I was quite surprised. I don’t know where went wrong. My supervisor comforted me that it is alright. I finished my work at bout 2.30am
2nd March 2008, Sunday
The day was almost the same as the day before. When closed account, the money is short again by RM60++. Luckily, the next day, I found out that I counted that cash wrongly and it was actually over by RM1++. I finished my work that day on 1.30am.
3rd March 2008, Monday
As usual, cashier duty; take money and change; fold tissues and order sheets; and when the shop going to close, I got to wipe the tables, chairs and sofas, and sweep the floor. Again, when I closed the account, the money is short by RM50++. I’m starting to have bad feelings about this.

Everything is as usual; I’m still learning and picking things up bit by bit in the cashier and service duty. And yet again, the money is short by RM50++ when I closed the account. This is really getting bad. @.@”
5th March 2008, Wednesday
When I went to work, my manager scolded and lectured me about the short of money in the account for the past 3 days. I was sitting there quietly trying my best to keep my calm and think of something to reply him back while he was lecturing me. Unexpectedly, tears started to flow out from my eyes. I didn’t intend to cry. I blurted out to him that,”… if tonight there’s short of money again, I will quit and you can take up my allowance to compensate for the loss. The balance I will slowly pay up from my savings.” Then, he said that is a bad way of approaching the problem. He said that since he gave me that job, he trusted me to it. So, I continued my work. At the end of the day, when I closed up the account, gladly, the money is over by RM10++ instead.
Anyway, after got lectured, my manager suddenly asked me whether I am the youngest in the family. I answered,"yeah.' He said,” no wonder.” LOL.. I’m suspecting that this question have something to do with my crying. Later, even my supervisor teased me for crying. ToT”
6th March 2008, Thursday
I didn’t do much of cashier and was put to handle service duty more because the numbers of customers were more than usual. So, there’s no need for me to handle the account. I felt less pressured, but more tired than usual. My legs were quite sore since I had to rush here and there more.
Today
It’s my off-day.
Hmm.. Well, all these problems in work, I will take it as challenges for me to grow stronger.
For the past 2years, I know that I’ve grown weaker in facing life. However, now, it is an opportunity to help me improve to be a better person.
In work, this is the opportunity to train up my emotional-intelligence, communication skills, time-management, patience, and perseverance. This is also a chance for me to build up the habit of looking things on the bright side again. Last time, after I fell into and overcame depression, negative thoughts seem to grow as a habit. I just can’t wait to change back my habit of looking things on the bright side again.
Along this week since the day I started my work, my parents and J-kun had been a great support to me. I’m really grateful. I will continue to do my best!
I’m ready to face more challenges ahead! \(^o^)/
p.s. I know my english grammar is *erhem*, but anyone can feel free to tell me which sentences or words are wrong and correct me. Thanks for helping me to improve. =3

u working at restaurant ke?
I still remember how it felt being a cashier. U've got to be extremely vigilant.
There's one time when I was working a cyber cafe, I even counted my money at intervals. Every half an hour. I can't even trust my co-workers when it come to money.
The worst though when I was working at a hotel. At the end of my shift we (My super and me) lost RM1100!!!!! We had to pay back 50-50. :(
wow.. short so much.. @o@"
