Post-OSEP Day 34: 06 February, Thursday

I must be crazy today. 6am work till 11pm. 16 hours on heels man omg.

So many people on MC today. Breakfast was so busy that Giovanni had to help us. I almost went crazy. We are short of one hostess too, Jacelin, because she took MC.

6am to 11am as hostess, and I had breakfast buffet as usual.

Tried poached egg today and it was good!!

At 10am, I asked Giovanni to do me a favour by bringing me to the sales office because I was supposed to meet the Director of Sales for an interview but I have no idea where is the office. So he brought me down and we met Melanie who joked about how it is a waste of talent for me to work in The Line haha. Met up with Sylvia who interviewed me the other day and she introduced me to Brenda, who is the Director of Sales for Corporate Events (I think). Christopher, the head of Director, dropped by and saw me and said hi to me. He asked if I have any commitments and I said I need to ask Giovanni again and then he told me, "Tell Giovanni tomorrow your last day. Start work on Monday." And I was shocked. I know he was kidding but it did sound like he was keen to hire me isn't it?

During the meeting with Brenda, Mirko walked past and he saw me. I didn't see what was his expression but Brenda said he doesn't seem too happy. After I was done with the interview (they said they will update me again) I texted Giovanni to thank him for bringing me down. He replied me asking me to go to his desk and he wanted to speak to me so I went to his desk, only to realise its Mirko who wants to see me in his office. Giovanni came in too, and there I was in the F&B Director's office with the director and assistant director.

Mirko was upset I could tell; he didn't even look at me when he spoke to me. "So, what were you doing there?" Mirko has this aura which makes him difficult to get close, and with his firm tone I was even more "terrified". He was clearly unhappy that I am not joining F&B as a full time but sales instead. Giovanni said that they want me to work for them and want to "take care" of me, and that if I join sales they wouldn't be able to do so anymore. That made me feel very bad, because after all the both are very nice to me (especially Giovanni who gave me a lot of chances) and it somehow feels like I'm not repaying their gratitude. They told me to think it through and if I decided to join them everything else can be negotiated. I left Mirko's office and Honeylyn saw me. Spoke to her a little and she gave me some advice.

After the talk with the two bosses I was so affected that I didn't have mood to work anymore honestly. After all I worked with them for quite some time and I am very very thankful that they appreciate me so much and gave me so many opportunities which not everyone has. I would really very much want to work for them but F&B full time is really not my cup of tea.

Anyway this matter shall be settled later on. Vicky told me to do barista alone for lunch because Sophia is on leave. It came as a sudden shock because I suddenly had to do everything myself! Usually I had Sophia helping me (or rather, the other way round) so I'm not actually prepared to do barista myself! There's just too many things to do for a first-time. I couldn't find a lot of things and needed help but I managed to get all my stuff eventually. Went for lunch and headed back just before lunch starts at 12 noon.

Yusheng cos it's CNY Day 7~

Thankful to have Kate to help me halfway through because it got really busy and the drinks I made were not enough! Thankful that majority of my stuff lasted me through lunch. And then came another shocking news: night barista is on MC.

So Vicky said he'll try to find replacement, but he asked if I could stay on in case he couldn't find anyone and I agreed since I wasn't feeling tired. After all, I was a night person haha.

So I stayed on for dinner and dinner wasn't busy actually. Yeehong was on night shift and she kept asking whether I was okay because she saw me smiling to myself (I was thinking of some stuff) and talking to myself (doing some self-revision in Korean) and she thought I had gone crazy haha.

I left at 11pm and we had a small buffet supper before leaving. Yum yum in my tum tum. Haha.

Supper :D

That's all at work today.
