workaholic

as much as i hate people saying that i'm a workaholic,
i do admit i am one.
even a new friend i knew recently called me one.
and when i thought about it,
my mind brought me back to the time when i was working
at swensens right after O levels.
with it being the first ever PAYING job i ever had,
naturally i was excited la. whatt?? cannot is it? i was sixteen (damn! so young!)
and money was quite an incentive. haha!

ain, remember how hard we worked back then?
although both of us were working at different outlets,
the rate we were working was about the the same.
we voluntarily covered for people who called in sick,
we worked during public holidays (double pay, mind you),
we happily worked overtime when there wasn't enough staff.
being part-time staff, what we earned were at par with the full-timers.
i think that bolted us to work more. hahah!
madness i know.
i remember my then boyfriend calling me crazy and money minded.
i wasn't! i was just a driven young girl. =)
the people i worked with were damn fun to be around with.
but i grew chubbier cos we were rewarded with good food at the beginning and ending of shift.
ice creams, pastas, baked rice. all free. syiok right??
