Prece*torship - Day 3

First week of the P-ship was quite... well...

The place where i work is very busy, it has been likened to fighting a war. Toy soldiers, that's what we are: i take the lines from Martika's "Toy Soldiers":

(Chorus)
Step by step, heart to heart
Left, right, left, we all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart
We never win, but the battle wages on
For Toy soldiers

Well u get the idea. We get about 70-80 p-forms on an average day, so i guess i've already fulfilled part of what i should - learning how to key in the p-forms - by day 3. HAHA. Can't say i'm some ace in keying in, i still have a problem counting (e.g. 2/52 = multiply by factor of 14!!! 1/12 = factor of 30!!! om, on = factor of 1!! bd = factor of 2!!! and the best: requires 50mg of the pill but we only have the 100mg type: factor of 0.5!!!)

slow, slow, slow. haiz. my hands were trembling whenever i key p-forms, especially if one comes in with 10 items.

well, i have en tian (gwyneth) with me during this sojourn. so not too bad, have a companion. but not much chance to talk to her, we have separate lunch breaks, and we come in and leave at different times, about 1.5 hours apart. this is such to stagger the manpower.

other stuff we are doing like invoices, ordering, restocking goods.. pretty ok la. pretty much like what other guys do in retail. those are during the slack times.

...and my legs are sick of standing. there's only TWO chairs - one inside the phar**cy, one for the cashier - and you guessed it, none of them are for me.

up till now, haven't revised ANYTHING yet. appears like all the stuff we learn in school, are USELESS. gotta throw POM stuff to the phar*acists, P stuff we also throw to them (cos i really dunno!) and OTC stuff we can just SMOKE. like there are many instances where people ask me which one is better. All have the same ingredients, but u just gotta give an answer. The thing about this is just to look confident as possible.

sigh.

my prece*tor said something about work attitude... in life, during work, it's not how well u do in your exams or what type of honours you get. some people would not employ a first-class honours student cos they might not stay on in the company for long... as in they will go and do Masters or other studies. and some of them may not be as proficient or work-savvy as other people with lower grades.

hmm.. so there's hope for us all then?
