Not sure what I got myself into

So... I finally got my lazy ass out of bed and out of the house to look apply for the job. I wanted to apply like a week ago but I was too lazy to go all the way down and I didn't believe in calling into the HQ office to apply because most of the time they just ask you to head down to the branch anyway. I also finally did the Starbucks survey the Novena bux eyecandy gave me to do a month ago and I only did it today cuz the free drink which came with it expires today. Didn't want to walk so I took a bus to NEX so I can take another bus to Serangoon Gardens *pathetic laugh-cry emoji* Shin Kushiya was closed at 3pm and the guy asked me to come back after 5pm to look for the manager ): I called HQ in the end and they said Serangoon Gardens branch was not hiring and I was pissed sad. I walked around the area to look for a job because I didn't want to spend money on transport to work hahaha. Sushi Tei was hiring but when i went in the manager said no ): If you're not hiring, please take down the hiring sign. I think their part-time pay is pretty high, should be $8.50-$10 per hour. Considered going to NEX to apply but guess who was lazy? Eh so I bummed around and waited until 5.30pm. AM I GLAD I DID because yeap they were hiring. The manager was really nice hahaha he even asked me during the interview if I wanted anything to drink??

I started out not wanting to work in the F&B industry because I know it's tiring and the hours are sort of messy but this year I wanted to try something new. My previous jobs were either too fun or too slack and I felt really useless. Okay not the first one which was fun. It was tiring but fun. Not what I expected. The admin one was really... Dull. I had nothing to do the entire day (9am-5pm) and only had to type emails to send out in the first and last 30 minutes. And there is an average of 1.2 calls every day. 1 being from my boss at 4pm telling me I can knock off early (YEAH IKR) and 0.2 being random telemarketers or actual business contacts which comes like once a week. I felt useless from the very start and I hated it. I liked it during the second month because I got to do stuff that I wanted to do but after a while it got really boring. But it was really easy money I must say. I wouldn't mind doing it again if he was hiring hahaha. But nitrogen monoxide (NO). Anyway, I'm scared. I'm not sure how I'll survive in this job because I'm quite clumsy and absent-minded. But I really wanted it because it was so near home and the hours are okay. I don't have to wake up before 8am which is a huge PLUS for me and even though night shifts are until 10pm, I guess it's alright cuz I have nothing better to do anyway. The weekend pay is quite good too. Teehee. I hope I can earn enough by March to go on the UK trip. And possibly have savings. If I work enough shifts and continue with my tuitions, I think I most probably can!! :D So excited. For the money. I think I will tire myself out actually.

When I'm rich, I'm gonna have a music room. There's gonna be drums, piano and guitar in the room. And a triangle, of course. Maybe I can learn bagpipes.
