Working, meeting different people from different backgrounds

Well, what comes to mind when working? For money? Yes of course, anyone who denies that would probably had a silver spoon stuck in his/her mouth ever since the first day they came into the world.

What difference would it make eh! How tough can it be! Its just meeting new people. Yes, part and parcel of life, you do meet strangers and get to know each other everyday. Meeting and making new friends in school are so easy, with a snap of your fingers, coupled with a sense of style and charm, in addiction to your good looks, and provided that you don't have any body odour to match. Friends will flock your way.

In the working world, it is just so partly true! Yes, you get friends, you get jobs, you get people who treat you well when you're good looking. This matters more to ladies than guys. From my experience, the male species are usually the more chee hong type, who would care for their own buddies when it comes to chiobus?! And pretty much the same, the ladies would stick with their own group, whisper and gossip among themselves about that new guy and everything else on earth except on how to approach that guy to strike up a conversation. They usually leave it to my fellow counterparts to be 'automatic'. Why do i suddenly ramble on and on in this paragraph? Peek at the paragraph after the next below.

I started out hard in Giordano for the first few months, its already been 2 and a half years already, i couldn't say more, but to just say thanks for the $19600+ not including CPF that i've earned from you! Besides that, the staff in Giordano are so nice and friendly, besides being strict in customer service and the things that you are allowed to do and not to do, i feel that its 1 of the best working place that i've been so far in my 4 years of working life!

As you know, i picked up a new part time job, a waiter in Divine Wine bar, owned by Chyau Fwu Group. Got this job after bugging and persuading TingTing aka Juleana about her job. From what i found out, its a property developer. And this company, i must say, is filthy rich. On my first day of work, i got to find out that 1 of the few glass tables placed in the bar, costs $27,000!

OMG! GASP!

You guys should go down to Parkview square to have a look! Its situated just behind Raffles Hospital! The office building with lots of expensive statues has its lobby actually converted into a Wine Bar!

Well, like i said, meeting different people from different backgrounds, been working for 3 days times 4 weeks = 12 to 14 days there already, had conflicts with some of the staff there. I'm not sure whether its entirely my fault or not, but they seemed kinda hostile at first. Quarreled a few times with 1 of their full time staff too, but just recently, like yesterday, we cleared up some misunderstandings.

Its good that he's willing to approach and clear up mistakes, i believe that both of us are at fault, but then, i really appreciate that he's speaking up.

What happened? Let's make this short and sweet. I'm from sales line. He's from F&B line. I have experience in F&B line before. He expects me to know everything about F&B because i had experience. When i asked question, or when i do things the wrong way, he was frustrated because i was SUPPOSED to KNOW everything. And who else would know WHAT i AM SUPPOSED TO DO when i just stepped into your company after working in sales for 28 months!

Dude, gimme a break man! I'm getting the hang of it yo, i pick up things FAST! Yes, as in learning new stuff :)
