Today being only the second day on the job, i tried to be punctual, makin sure i left home at least 40 minutes before my shift starts.Just in case i forgot to mention, i plan to walk from the end of ss18 to summit everytime i work,to minimise my cost of transportation.Its rather dangerous,lookin at the fact that the car flow is non-stop even with the traffic light.It's not that they jump the light or anything, but when one traffic light goes red,the rest turn green,makin it harder for a person like me who always seems to be in a 'wrong-place-wrong-time' situation!
I reached gsc at 10.30 ( half an hr too early),was still dark...got scared...so i just walked around aimlessly. I think i actually went up ,down,and up again the 3 floors of summit.lol!When i found sumwhere to sit, i took my readers digest and juz stayed there quietly (it was HOT!).
Finally,made my way up to gsc.Sasi was already there then i was told to just stay with his computer first.Supervisor came and asked me whether i wanted to open my own counter.I think i must have come off as unconfident.so he just said that i MUST open a counter by the middle of the day.I only came off that way because i was just informed that yesterday, Farrael had a short of RM10!How was i to know surely that i wasnt the one who caused that short? If during that few hours, i was already capable of causing such a loss...what more am i able to do in 7 working hours???!!!Farrael came like 15 mins later....seeing that i still had no counter, he asked me..."so when r u opening ur own?".i said that the supervisor told me to open by middle of the day.I din push the matter further bcos i still din have my own username and password.
Owell,i guess losing my own money would be better than losing his.I couldnt risk other people's money now,can i?hahaha.
The supervisor was having his morning tea with the manager when i approached him about opening my own counter.He said "Are you sure?"while opening the door to the box office he continued on,"Remember,you're dealing with money here.If got short,u have to 'ganti'". I nodded .I operated the 2nd counter.When the whole username and password thing was settled, i got a loan of RM100 from Farrael as my cash float,which was to be paid back to him as soon as i had enuff of my own.
The dealing of money is quite dangerous as i remember once saying.When one fella is short of a certain denomination,he/she would turn to the next fella and exchange money,but that is also where one could lose huge amounts of cash!You might actually accidentally give/take an extra piece of RM 10 note....and there goes half a day's salary for one person.With that said....by the end of the day , i had collected RM1011 aNd i found out that i had a short of Rm10.
My manager din scold me or anything.He just said..."today not so busy....be carefull...u already lost rm10 on an average day".At that instant i felt like quitting oredi.But they all said that first day's loss normally not cut from our pay.the managers will try to cover.But we shall see....see how 'small' my income turns out to be soon....
And that ends my first official day manning the counter.A loss of RM10....and a walk home which seems to go on forever...because i know...i cant tell my parents about the short cause they'll surely make me quit the job....just like yesterday,when they heard that on a peakday,one person could handle as much as rm10000 cash,the actually forced me to quit the job immediately,offering to pay me for the hrs i clocked in instead!
I told Farrael earlier that if i were to lose more than RM10,i would quit instantly!
Let's see how this stint progresses....
