Airport Adventure

Wanted to name the post 'airport escapade' bt that sounds a bit 'dirty'. Just finish my first week at work. I mainly work in the airport, (cosmetic company) packing perfumes into ziploc bag due to the recent liquid ban. I tink the liquid ban is stupid, bt come to think of it, it creates job for people like me. There are advantages and disadvantages...
Advantages:

1)I get to see plenty of air stewardess, some of whom are really chio. Saw this pretty korean air stewardess (i tink from Asiana). Shes like a hybrid of Song Hye Gyo and Lee Da Hae. I was stunned. Just stared at her. Wanted to impress her by conversing in korean but it seems that the 1 month plus korean course isnt too useful.

2)Im adored by some of the staff and cashier. Second day of work reporting and the auntie cashier was gushing......Wah so tall, wah so handsome. 'Auntie killer strikes Part 2'. The staff also likes to flirt with me. Hmm......guess they are bored of the female working environment.

3)Work can be very slack espeacially on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. When there are no customers, you juz sit around and chit chat with the cashier. Can also take break to walk around and go 'sightseeing'.

4)Pear Girls. These are gals working in the liquor shop opp our shop. They promote some pear wine...thus the name pear girls. They dress rather skimpily in white top and short green skirt. Every time we report and leave workplace, we nvr fail to glance and rate the pear girl for the day......Hot, OK or CMI.....lol.....

5)I get to spray expensive perfumes on myself. Chanel, Polo, Tommy, YSL, Gucci, Harley Davidson, Armani....name it, we got it.

6) Get to eat Popyes chicken. If im not wrong theres only one outlet in Singapore which is in the airport.

Disadvantages:

1)Working hour is pretty odd. Work from 7-11 am and also 7-11 pm. This means i get 2* naps rather than 1*sleep. Usually would be burnt out even before friday. This also means my days are spent working and sleeping.

2)Work can be very tiring when there are plenty of customers (thursdays and fridays). Juz pack and pack for 4 hrs straight while standing. Occasional glances at pear girls help to revitalise though.

3)Customers can get on your nerves when they start being rude and stupid. Some are late and want us to hurry up though we are almost at top speed liaoz. Some throw money at you and nvr say thank you (China tourist mainly). Some like to change their mind when we have pack their perfume. And some cant converse in English (the Koreans)

4)The breaks are pretty short. At most 10 mins. This is a vast difference to invigilation whereby breaks are 45 mins long.

5)Most of the staff and cashiers are of not my age group. Although some are friendly, but due to the age difference, we will run out of topic to talk as frequency is not the same.

Haiz, work will be starting in about 29 hours.....another long week. Looking forward to next weekend though...as there may be a class outing to watch pirates and..........heheheh.......
