Work my Job
was in school today cleaning the council room.. packed the papers-to-be-recycled; moved the old sofas away and arranged the new ones; painted the walls outside the room (yellow colour. not bad. but not completed. have patches of uneven painting and the top part not painted.).. also got the consent forms for the EXCO pre-camp next week.. can't wait for it to come..
also, today is my first job experience.. quite tiring.. it is door-to-door ice cream promotion @ toa payoh area for Walls.. did only 2 blocks with joanne and xinhui (melvin was supposed to come but he didn't in the end).. the pay not bad.. earned around $36 but split into 3 portions (the 2 girls offered to give them all to me but how could i accept???)..
'Hello. Sorry to disturb you. We are from Walls Company and we are selling ice cream at a promotion price. It is much cheaper than those sold outside. Would you like to try some?' we will go on like this every house.. some ppl didn't even bother to answer the door though they were @ home (just like my house; won't answer any promoters' call [0.o]''), while others stopped us from explaining further.. of course there were those who were kind enuf to buy from us (a lady even gave us plastic bags as the man didn't provide this time after she purchased some from us)..
the start i was so blur.. but soon got the hang.. there were many sets which costs cheaper.. i really dunnoe how both the girls manage to rmb them so clearly.. we bought some ourselves as we could not resist.. we were energetic beginning but soon became tired after going around without any sales.. later xinhui kept on egging us to be happy and that really helped.. business picked up and we were like running around coz there was not enuf time to cover every house (we managed to complete 2 blocks which are 11 storeys high with around 20 houses on one floor in about 4 hours i suppose)..
i am all worn out.. sore feet and sleepy-head.. i was in such a wrong attire (tshirt, three-quarters, track shoes, sling bag).. shldn't have brought the bag along as it was sort of in the way; shldn't have worn track shoes as it was sort of uncomfortable to me; shldn't have worn three-quarters as it was quite hot and stuffy..
well i gained valuable lessons: one thing is for sure, never totally ignore a sales-person as it is not easy to be one.. unless of course he/she looks cunning.. LoL!
