Friday at work was somewhat easier on my mood. Because I felt more superior to others who were doing the same job on that day. It was a special day. On friday, they normally don't work. Or at least, they don't ask me to work. So on that day, there were like 15 or so new temp employees. Another higher ranked Indian lady briefed us, "We asked you all to come today to finish up the stock." So I reckoned that most of the regular temp people who worked mondays to thursdays didn't want to work on the friday, so only me and another quite new guy said okay to work. We had a few interrupting briefings along the way because some of the new ppl picked the stock in the way such that the containers aka toteboxes can't be closed. It isn't really their fault. They had a very insufficient tutorial before the start of work and "Okay you all can start picking." If it wasn't for Rui Xia who was around for the day, I think the new ppl will make a bigger mess out of picking. I took on a picking order for an entire pallet at about 5pm. The quantity was about 2400! I finally finished the last store's totebox without any discrepancies just before 8pm. And my phone was spammed by my dear church friends. It's sooooo distracting and tempting to reply to them but I just left it in my pocket after browsing through the smses. That Indian lady called all of us in again for a debrief. She said those who are not picking at point in time can sign out and leave. Those still picking halfway just finish up and sign out. Then she called out about 8 names from the attendance list and ask them to see her separately. And she ended it by, "All except the names I called out, tomorrow report here by 9am". I totally turned a deaf ear on that. I'm sure she didn't meant me. I've worked monday to friday already. Still want me to work full day on Saturday? Hey next week is my last already please... And I'm lined up for church on saturday wooohH! I did not bother to inform her that I cannot come on saturday. I admit I was being impolite not to inform of my absence and so forth. Thank God I didn't get a call from them pursuing me to go back to work today.
I was happy that I stepped out of the workplace at 8.30pm sharp! That was the time I quoted to Rouxin and Jiawei who was waiting for me in JP for dinner. I had my meal at Bentobox and I met another new friend Sharon! Then we pampered ourselves with haagen dazs ice cream! It was really wonderful with the 4 of us at a square table, in a corner shop of the big big JP. That should be closer to the life I ought to live. Hang out with friends at night !
