i finally submitted my final essay!

yayayayayay i can feel my stress level has decreased by 25%. quite happy with how it turns out because i only had a few days to work on it, while still having to study for my other exams. 1 down, 3 to go!

ok i know i’ve ranted about work quite a lot. butttt today was even more draining and pisses me off more than usual.

1. a lot of the customers were just plain freaking rude and annoying. for example, there’s this woman who scorns at me because i served the nuggets+chips combo in an opened box (really though?!). she rudely said, “why are you not putting this in a closed box? this will get cold and my kids won’t eat it!” i politely explained that i used the opened boxed because it’s for dining in, and she wanted to dine in. then she insisted “i never seen it served like this, call your manager blahblahblah” seriously why the heck are you so fussed with stupid stuff like this. ohh and there’s this girl ordering a chocolate caramel milkshake. i was pumping the chocolate sauce into the cup when she said “ew that is too much are you trying to make me fat or something?!” ……. LOL WHAT. for your information, this is the standard amount of chocolate sauce that goes into the milkshake. if you’re that conscious about your health, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE??? i served many more frustrating customers, but those two are the highlights.

2. there’s a new girl, this was her first shift and i was given the job to help her out, explain everything etc etc. i always get enough headache just by taking orders and preparing the food, today i had an additional thing to worry about eg. whether she messed up with the orders or not (she did that a lot, perfectly acceptable for a first timer because i did that too but still… i was responsible to fix it when she made mistakes).

3. i doubled as a cleaning staff (again) today. i swear that the assistant manager really hates me. i thought it’s obvious that cleaning is NOT a part of my job description because i’m just a front staff and they have other people specifically assigned for the cleaning stuff. and seriously, some people who came today have a really DISGUSTING table manner. i’m perfectly fine with cleaning tables if it’s just like spraying and wiping, or picking up food wrappers or boxes. but i’m not ok with picking up CHICKEN BONES ON THE FLOOR, or cleaning up FREAKING MASHED POTATOES SMEARED ALL OVER THE TABLE (and no, trust me this is not an exaggeration). like seriously WHAT THE F*CK?! is it so hard to put those rubbish in the trash bins (which is only like a few steps away from the tables), or at least just leave it on the box/wrapper?! i have no idea how come some people could be so disgusting! oh and don’t even get me started with the restroom part.

4. one of the assistant managers practically accused me of stealing money from the cash register. the money on my cash register was $4 short from what it’s supposed to be. i’m not sure what’s wrong with that. the new girl used my cash register when i was upstairs cleaning the damn mess and she might give the wrong change, or have to refund some orders (not really blaming her because i’ve done that, everyone makes a lot of mistakes on his/her first shift). anyway… really dude, are you f*cking kidding me?! it’s one thing to be a super annoying person who makes me deal with the disgusting stuff while it’s clearly not included in what i signed up for, or putting me in roster on days when I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT I CAN’T WORK then complain and say that i’m lacking commitment blahblah because i can’t make it to work.. but i think this one is completely unacceptable, at least you should take a look at the tapes on security cameras before accusing me.

in conclusion, i need to find a new job. ASAP.

2 hours stationary bike (52 km, level 6)

that’s it for today because i had work at 10am - 4.30pm. i was planning to do an afternoon workout but ditched it because the gym was already closed after i got home. and i really need to finish my essay anyway :(

- ran 14 km in 1:09:43 (4:58 min/km). faster than my easy pace but that still felt easy :D basically any longer runs with sub 5 pace like this is a great run for me right now. my glutes are killing me though, they’re super tight ouch :/ i need to do moreee glute stretches and self massage on tennis ball (which hurts like hell)..

- 25 min strength training: back & chest. giving my poor abs a bit of break c:

• 5x20 bodyweight inverted row
• 4x20 renegade row w/ 6 kg dumbbells
• 4x15 bent over row w/ 5 kg dumbbells
• 4x15 chest press w/ 5 kg dumbbells
• 4x15 pec fly w/ 4 kg dumbbells
