Working at Fosters wasn't quite what I expected, but I shall with hold comments until I have had least worked for some time. Being new, I had quite a lot of things to learn. And when I was clearing tables, I kept worrying that I would drop the glasses, but thankfully that didn't happen. By the end of the 4 hour shift, my face ached from smiling and my feet ached from walking back and fro and my eyes swam with unshed tears. My manager is quite a no nonsense person whom I am quite sure would give me a tongue lashing if I make any mistakes in future, but for yesterday, he was pretty patient with me, guiding me around...

Perhaps it was the stress of the first day, perhaps it was because I was new and was thus slow and clumsy(or so I felt), perhaps it was because not everybody was as friendly as I had thought they would be, but hey, welcome to the real world. Maybe this is what I set out to learn, to discover that outside of my sheltered world, there exist many other nasty people too, I don't mean my fellow waitresses, but maybe people who patronize the restaurants. Perhaps because I didn't manage to 'nick' any food, though I was surrounded by delighful looking food with the aroma wafting all over, I didn't feel even feel hungry..hahah.. But it was a very subdued me walking out of the restaurant, I just felt new, lost, unfamiliar and unwelcome, which is a whole new sensation altogether. And the tears just started to come.

But a sight for sore eyes was steph who came by too see how was my first day at work and to go home with me. He of course, wiped my tear dry with his iced-jelly stained hankerchief which smelled strongly of lemon which made me giggle so much the tears just stopped..hahah and provided a shoulder for me to lie on. And I didn't even ask him to, though when I was working, I kept hoping that he would pop by cos I missed him so much. And i guess God heard my prayers and he came, and so timely too. I guess even when you are down, He will send his angels to comfort you. So for this job, I will keep hoping that it would all turn out for the good. So I will continue to give it my best and see how it goes.
