Finally today is my last day of work as a laborer with this furniture company! And goodbye to backache! But something annoying happened before I bidded goodbye to my colleagues...
Today I was teamed with 2 other guys to help set up 3 TV consoles at the showroom! The consoles were MIC and the instructions that came with them were so vague and we really had no clue on how to assemble them! And through trial and error, we managed to erect one in 5 hours! Imagining going to a client's place and taking 5 hours to set up a console! The guys would be made a laughing stock man! But getting the seh, it became much easier to form up the remaining two consoles...the last one we assembled was the largest one so instead of sitting around watching them do the hard work, I tried to be nice and helped out. Oh, 'cos being helpful is just one of my traits! *Grin* And back to the story, yah, I accidentally placed a plank of wood the wrong way and no one noticed. After we did up the whole thing, the drawer tracks couldn't fit 'cos of the mistake and we had to pull apart the whole thing and reassemble. I won't deny it's my fault but it didn't take much work to correct it really...just flop the top panel yank the plank out and slot it in again! Then this guy said, "All because of you, we had to do so much more!" Stunned...I didn't know being helpful was wrong man! I didn't have to do nothing but to sit around 'cos my job is to follow the delivery man to assist in delivery and uhhum, instead of being appreciated, I was sarcastically criticized. Com'on, I fitted 5 drawers out of 6. That saved a lot of work man. Much more than required in correcting the error. Just felt so sian about it 'cos that guy had been quite nice to me all along! Haiz...
Burnt!
Yesterday, after work, I went with one of my aunts to the supermarket to get stuff to bake a strawberry cheesecake for fun 'cos it seems like all my friends are into some kinda baking frenzy...but she didn't have the baking oven, so I had to make do with the toasting oven. But the sad reality was you couldn't control the temperature...so my cheesecake ended up: burnt! Nevermind, I'll try again soon! Real soon!
Living in a world where everyone discredits everyone...
