麥當奴

在麥當勞打工近一個月,一開始雖然感覺很累,又常常犯錯被罵,但是最近感覺做得蠻快樂的,對於工作也比一開始熟悉多了。現在我可以冷靜的站櫃檯,看螢幕取餐,在有限的時間內打刷完廁所,拖好地,清完三層樓的六包垃圾。

雖然這份工作勞心又勞力,不過同事都是很不錯的人,我也藉著工作對麥當勞有更深的了解。

無論是服務員的工作站訓練,或是其設備都是領先於其他同業,小到薯條灑鹽器,煎蛋杯,大到其薯條炸爐,煎爐等等,都是所費不貲的專利產品。現在又推出MFY(Made for you)的技術,顧客的訂單能立即傳送到螢幕上,廚房人員可以依照螢幕所示為客人現做。它能成為速食業的龍頭絕不是偶然。

性別歧視

最近看BBS家教版真的有一種感慨,每次家教工作的要求幾乎都有「限女」,十之八九都是如此,愈看心愈冷,自己又不能教物理化學之類的科目,那我能做什麼呢?景氣差家教難找,如果要靠仲介又得先被敲一筆。難道外文系男生活該倒楣找不到工作嗎?男生就比較不會教英文,英文說的比女生差嗎?真的很生氣!現在還是先乖乖的做好小麥的工作吧,沒錢什麼都不用說。

Working

Here i am again. This morning i lost my temper before i went to Mac. My bike was lost, and i supposed that my father rode away. To my relief, when i get home, i phoned my dad, and he says that the bike is in the first floor of our appartment.

Today i did the morning shift. There are less people than the noon and night shift. The manager asked me to clean the dining area first, and then i worked at the beverage station. I made tons of mistake and i was still not familiar enough with the beverage, so i was scolded harshly by the manager. However, i think i can handle the blame, because people learn from mistake. If i take the criticism personally, it would be very difficult to carry on. At least now i have learned how to brew the tea correctly, and not to make the same mistake again.

Half an hour before the rush hour, i clean the dining area again, and this time i did better and more efficient that what i did on Sunday. I think i really find the tip of cleaning, that is do the most important things in limitd time. I changed the plastic bags in the bin from sec to fourth floor, refilled the paper towel and toilet paper in the toilet, cleaned aways the dirts and wastes in the toilet, mopped the floor dry, broomed away the littered and fast food leftovers on the ground, and take all the plates to the first floor to wipe it. There is actually a rhythm to clean, and i am glad i can handle them all by myself today.

After all the works are done, i felt great degree of sense of achievement. The job really gives me an insight into physical labour; labour makes me think about life, the sweat and aspiration are the proof of the real sacrifice and devotion.

GoodChat

This friday i dined with several high-school classmates at a small restaurant called BRIENZ near by the metro Jhonghsiao Dunhwa. It was really pleasant experience.

I ate lots of spaghetti, fried delights, and grilled dishes. It was very cheap, which only costs me 252NT with the 10% service charge. Thanks to Yuchin that i can have a really pleasant meal! By the way, Yuchin is more stylish than before, haha.

Strange to say, i was obsessed with the TYPO on the menu, that is 提拉米斯, which should be 提拉米蘇 according to the TIRAMISU in italien. I can't help but laughing... I often get mad at something really trival, forgive me XD

Because the data size of my photo is very big, it would take several days for me to upload.

Wish you guys who reads my Blog have a pleasant and productive summer.

Part-Time

This week i started my first part-time job, since i've never worked part-time, i feel very nervous but still excited. I am working at MacDonald right now from monday, and today i don't have to go there.

The last three day's working experience was very challenging. The first day I learned how to fry the fries with the frying machine, and how to put in the fries in to the package; also i learned how to fill in different beverages in different cups of kinds of sizes and appeareance, and last two days i learned how to operate the counter machine and receive customers' order.

I felt extremely nervous when i have to receive the order from the customer, because the counter machine. I have to touch the right button on the monitor as quickily as possible, and then, i have to make sure the order i am entering the menu is correct. Of course, I made lots mistakes. Sometimes i forgot to take out the change to the customer and the drawer is closed, and the manager have to open it for me, which is very embarrassing. And i often forget to ask the order is eat-in or to-go. I made the same mistakes many times. And sometimes i stammered or speaked too fast, because i am so nervous.

Aside from many trivial details i have to take care of in mind, the job itself is really tiring. Each shift i have to stand 4 hours without rest, so my feet and my legs are thus aching severely at night. Although it is very challenging and comparably low-pay than my previous tutoring job, i hope i can stick it out and learn how to get things done efficiently and how to deal with people. And i guess i would have a great time no matter what, the crew there are very energetic and some of the trainer are very kind and easy-going. I really learned a lot from last three days training.
