It’s been a while since my last wordy post. I’m physically and emotionally exhausted (from work, specifically) as I type this, but somehow I just needed the ranting space. Of course, being a blogger, the natural abode to rant is the blog – and so this rant is of existence.
Work has been taking up most of my social and personal life. My weeks have been filled with painfully long hours, pain-in-the-ass customers, unforgiving managers, and hi-bye colleagues. Money has been flowing in and out, with obviously more outs than ins.
Of course, being on a long holiday, the natural thing to do would be to work and work more, with the thought that by working more, the outs will be hopefully reduced and more ins will be allowed that will hopefully allow me to save up for a trip next year, or perhaps even for emergency use when the need arises.
Of course, if things had been going as planned, this blog entry wouldn’t be of existence.
With reference to the pain-in-the-ass customers, sometimes, I wish I could shove my fist into the customers’ face who deserve the fist. Examples:
- The type of customers that stands at the (salad/dessert) bar, that puts their hands on their hips whilst waiting for their food with the face that says, punch me, and when the food is finally placed in front of their face, a simple word of gratitude is not uttered from their foul mouth, but more whining instead.
- The type of customers that are at least twice your age but has a mentality of someone below 12. This can be seen from angry customers who seem to be constantly shouting at you, who requires extra loving care and attention, the type of tender loving care from Raymond Chan himself – a fist to his/her face.
- And more
Unfortunately, I am still needing this job to make sure I have adequate ins to compensate for the outs that I cannot seem to control, no matter how hard I try. So you have a great weekend while I slave away to earn my ins that will eventually be outs on the same day it goes in.

Dear sweet, innocent, little Ray, have you tried the “be nice to friends and nicer to enemies” method?

lmao, i had the exactly same thought the other night. it’s kinda amusing since our roles are different as i’m an “unforgiving manager”. but it’s clear that we both hate the same, hypocritical customers who prob. wouldn’t last a week in our jobs. lol.
