Weekends are here again...All about my work...

First of all... I would like to wish Happy 26th Birthday to my eldest bro, Nigel...
Yeeha!!! Happy Birthday bro!

This is 3 days late... Well... just 3 days late on this blog... I did try to contact him on that day itself... but couldn't get him...

So, after 2 days of classes (Wednesday and Friday), it's weekends again... I've been working quite some hours lately... My 'colleague' Nick had some bad food the other day, and I substituted him for work yesterday breakfast...

And from now on, I'll be working another shift on Friday night... that makes me working for 7 shifts a week... 3 breakfasts, 2 brunches, 2 dinners... (will be more if I pick up some more substitutes...) that's about 20 hours worth of work weekly... and that translates to not bad some extra income... $$$$$$$$$$

anyway, let me introduce you guys to my work... more like me introducing my work to u guys...
so, basically, i'm working in the dining hall... the Mary Markley Dining Service... And currently, my supervisor is on vacation... so, there are several supervisors from other hall helping him out...

For breakfast, I'll either be the floater (which do almost everything, from serving food, to running to grab food from the kitchen(we call this job as runner), and to checker(swipe student's card before students enter the dining hall)...

I don't really like to work as checker... although it's like one of the easiest job among many positions, it is to more boring... like u have to sit at the counter for 2 hours... waiting for people to show up... after the breakfast hours, I need to collect all the utensils (tongs, spoons...) and prewash them before chucking all of them into a tray and run them through the dishwasher...

So, I prefer the work as a floater... when there's a line, we will serve the students so that the line will go faster... if the crowd is thin, we will just let them self-serves... we just need to check whether the food is low and get it from the kitchen and restock it... after that, we need to wipe down all the tables... which is quite a pain in the ass... but i rather get busy, than sitting they and greet everybody....((a)Hi there!(b) Good morning! (c)How you doing? (d)How'zit going? (e) Hello!) and shuffle these five greetings for 30 times... as there will be about 150 people come in for breakfast every morning...

For brunch, I'll be working as a Headwaiter... Sounds great?? yeah.. the responsibility is quite heavy too... will, u have to wipe down those bars...(salad bar, hot bar...), the pop machines, and those milks and juices dispensers... when the dispensers are low, u will have to refill those dispensers... and those things are heavy... those milks and juices come in 5 gallons packets... so, first, we need to place them into a milk carton, then, put it into the dispensers, and then, connect the tube, and cut the tube... that's about it..

For Sunday brunch, I work in the dishroom... either at the line to pick up cutleries and cups, or toss plates and bowls, or scrape those crap from plates and bowls...

For Sunday dinner, I'm the runner...

For Friday dinner, I'm the exit-host... Exit host basically reads baby-sitter... I need to sit there and watch those kids from making a fool of themselves, and to behave themselves... to clean up their own mess, not to let anybody to sneak in from the backdoor, to throw away napkins they used... all this crap... Well, I also need to keep an eye on the ice cream machine... reload those cones, refill those dairy milk for ice cream... and after the meal, I need to wipe down those tables again, and refill those napkins...

so, that's all about my job...

actually, I've a lot to talk about the class I'm taking this semester... Economics of Crime... Really interesting class... and wonderful reading... I'll try to cook up some examples here on real life and show u how interesting Econs is...

Bye for now...
