Saturdays are usually the busiest day of the week at work. All sorts of people stream in. Some come in flustered, unable to ride due to a flat caused by road shrapnels. Some come in to buy that first bicycle for their birthday boy/girl. Some come in ready to splurge on that lightest/most talked about racing mountain bike. Some come in to simply shield themselves from the heat outside.
3 out of 4 are usually expats. You learn to get accustomed to the different accents over time, like repeatedly asking the old indian lady whose buying a new bicycle and has a thick british accent:
"isitwordit?" (O.I.L.)
"sorry mdm?" (me)
"isitwordit?" (O.I.L.)
"hmmm...?" (me)
"is...it...word...it?" (O.I.L.)
"oh! heh yes its worth it" (me)
The best part or rather the part i always cross my fingers for is doing deliveries or short trips to the ware house. Its time away from work while still working. A trip out would usually lasts for at least 45 min. That is time for me to breathe and just enjoy the drive. Away from the busyness of the shop and the boss. just one of the perks working as part sales man, part delievery man, part store man.
Grad day is coming. It marks the halfway of this long break from school. 2 and a half months later it be time to hit the books again. The past months have not been the easiest of months at home, having endless arguements with mom over money issues. sigh. and now she is giving me the silent treatment. this is one thing i am powerless over. the principle of lacking one thing. *wink wink*
How will the next half of the year be like? Praying that the school weekly schedule will be favourable for me to continue working to finance myself. BX, Xiong Kun do pray for me.
