the day i lost my job
October 16, 2008 by jacintaa
im feeling so sad.
it’s 1.15am and i jus got back not long ago.
and i dun think i can sleep anytime soon.
so many things is going through my mind now.
I’ve been so attached to my job that now not needing to go to work every night kinda strikes a feeling in me that i cant fully describe.
due to some circumstances, the restaurant is “changing hands”.
ever since first sem ended, I’ve been working in the restaurant nearly every night i would say.
except mondays where they are closed.
I’ve been so attached with work that ppl around me associate me with “work” most of the time.
like, whenever i see my frens, first thing they’ll ask is, “going to work tonight?”
so i guess somehow i should feel happy that im now free for the nights.
but no work equals no money.
though there’s still the caffe job, im only working there 2 shifts a week.
enough to cover my rent but there wont be extras.
since exams are in like jus three weeks, maybe it’s a good time after all to take a break from work.
still, there’s no harm in applying for jobs now.
memories from the indian restaurant is gonna make me miss it so so much.
my boss, kanan was really nice and treated me more as a fren rather than an employee.
though there’s like ten years gap between us, it felt like we were only few years apart.
i’ll miss those times when it was quiet we’ll jus chat like frens.
i’ll miss having cheese naans occassionally when i work. and coffees.
i’ll miss ishya (her daughter) bothering me when i work.
i’ll miss ishya. she’s been so generous to me, always offering me food, drinks and things to share. =)
i’ll miss curries to bring home every night.
i’ll always rmb some of the “defining” moments i had there as well.
like, the time i had to disappoint my lifegroup at the very last minute that i cant participate in a mime we’ve practised cos kanan got sick.
or the time a guy came back saying he forgot to leave me a tip when actually he wanted my num but couldnt ask cos he was with her gf before that (well of cos, i din give and he gave up real easily. n i’ve got his tip =p)
or the freaky wednesday incident.
which im certainly glad there wont be anymore of those.
truly, this work has broaden my horizon.
meeting different people, serving different customers.
I’ll always rmb it , my first job here.
unknowingly, i’ve learnt a lot from this experience.
things I was so blur about when i first started.
kanan has taught me as much as she could.
i can even make coffees now. though not an expert.
im jus feeling kinda emo now bout the whole thing.
it was pretty sudden although not completely too.
really gonna miss everything bout it heapssss.
had to spill it all out.
well, every beginning has an end.
and it’s time to move on.
there’ll be other jobs with new experiences waiting for me.
jobs with better pay too hopefully =)
goodbye indian restaurant.
goodbye aroma.
