31st of Aug * Usual work loads.

1st of September * BER months once again! Because of that, I ordered spicy chicken wing and sisig for dinner. Damn, busog na busog kami! Ako lang ata. Haha!

2nd of September * I don't have much to do for today that's why I was able to blog my day to day happenings. I have a lot to do tomorrow. Kailangan kong maglinis ng kwarto at maglaba ng mga damit ko since last week.

Also, Kres and I are communicating again. Hmm, nothing special tho. Civil lang kami sa isa't isa.

My workmates are looking for another long weekend. Andami nilang gustong gawin; manuod ng Camp Sawi, pupunta ng Osmeña Peak, o mag Bantayan Island para puntahan kung saan nagshoot ang Camp Sawi. This is one of the reasons why I love my work. Napaka-adventurous din ng mga katrabaho ko. Haha!

Today I was supposed to learn Dining Room Assistant, but as of about two days ago they decided to stop training CP’s in DA position, so instead it was more a review day of sorts for our assessment tomorrow.

We got to do Beverage Island 3 for a little while in the morning, and then in the afternoon we did Silver Stocker and Filler.

Bev. Island went pretty well. The Rose Gallery is a pretty chill place to work, and when we got in there, it had only just opened for the lunch crowd, so there weren’t that many people in there, and most of them just got coffee and sat back down. But the hot cocoa machine wasn’t working (and apparently is always pretty spotty, which is a little bit concerning).

Silver Stocker is not my favorite position. I really really don’t like ladling ketchup into individual serving containers, and that’s about 90% of that position quite honestly. The other 10% of keeping the cooler stocked and the water cart filled isn’t nearly so bad, if it didn’t require doing ketchup as well.

I got to be the one with the radio this time for silver stocker, which makes me flustered, because I can’t ever really hear the people talking to me, and then I miss stuff, or more than one person asks for me to do something at once, and today I had my co-trainee with me on the position, but if I ever do it alone, it will just be me there to do all the things. And I don’t have a super strong grasp on what all those things necessarily are without being prompted.

When we did filler and I got a chance to do it, the first one I did I forgot to hand out the dessert, so I said Bon Appetit and the lady asked if they got their dessert later, so I apologized and got a little bit flustered and gave them their dessert, but I felt bad that they had to ask.

During lunch, it was Cast Appreciation Day at Sodexo, so they had lunch for 99 cents, so there was a bun, bbq pulled pork, and baked beans (and I requested no potato salad) as well as a small drink, and they have one of the magical drink machines, so I got raspberry sprite and it was weird, but alright.

I went straight home after work and fell asleep on the bus, and then stopped in at the Clubhouse and ate a free cookie and got my new package (another book), and then headed home only to check my email and realize my ticket package had gotten to the office while I was on the bus home. So I changed and checked the mail and went back to the office and got my first complimentary ticket.

My room-roommates and I decided to check out the Tangled Welcome Housing Event, but it was drizzling out and when we got there it was all set up, but there was not food and absolutely no housing event people to tell incoming CP’s whehter the event was canceled or rescheduled or moved or what have you. So we stood around for quite some time and I took a few pictures of the Tangled-themed setup they had for the rained-out event.

Then we went to security to ask them if the event was canceled (because, mind you, there was no email announcement, nothing on the blog, no signs up, and no one monitoring the event location), and they said that it had been replaced with a movie night at Commons, but that they had not posted it anywhere, but rather were spreading the word via word-of-mouth, which, in my opinion, without a designated staffer to direct people over to Commons, is not especially possible to get out there to everyone. What would have been the easiest way of communicating would be email announcements when plans change or are cancelled, but, of course, there was no such email sent out, and it was I guess just assumed that everyone should know? I just feel so ????? about the whole situation.
