Butler

This job always fascinate me , an idea of being a professional personal assistant, or to be more precise, the idea of HAVING one.. lol
Kalo di indo bisa dibilang ini perkerjaan yang sangat mirip dengan pekerjaan Pembantu Rumah Tangga, bedanya, yang ini professional, hanya dimiliki oleh kelas elit dan dibayar tinggi banget. Pernah juga sih kepikiran untuk mencoba pekerjaan ini, kan otomatis kerjaannya bareng kelas elit melulu, lumayan buat bangun koneksi untuk masa depan, sekaligus siapa tau bisa kenalan sama millioner single muda yang cakep, asyik!!!! hahahahaha *mimpi dan bercanda abiz*
Tadi pagi internship office kirim e-mail pengumuman, ada yang nyari butler service dari skolah gw.. hm... saat dibaca.. oke asyik juga, liat bayarannya... wow.. menggiurkan!! Sayang saya sudah punya internship job dan juga memang tidak memenuhi kualifikasinya hahahahaha.

Berikut ini e-mail dari si ibu dari kontor internship:

my second internship

I'm in Zug now...
right... for my second internship.

I've been working for a week now.
is it good?
well.... I could say..... it's okay... even... I might be luckier than my friends that are also work for the same company. My working place is the furthest, I need to take bus to go there, but.. the people that I'm working with is quite good, my restaurant is not as busy as theirs, and of course, I got better tips. Though when I just arrived home they all already ready to go to bed. hehehe

Well, the people that I'm working with are quite good, so I'm quite content with them. though of course, not all... hehehe. and honestly, I prefer that my supervisor would like to teach me more about everything. She haven't really teach me about anything, and she's troubled and complaining that I don't know enough or I worked so slow.. of course I can't work fast and I need to ask her for almost every little thing since I don't know anything!! But other than that... she's nice, and I like her too ^^

The chefs are good too. Even one of them teach me a bit German and Thai from the menu. hehehe. Only one that is quite annoying.. He's so .... bossy and complaining quite a lot.. Luckily he's not there everyday hehehe...

There's another restaurant that I need to work too, but only for lunch time and only for temporary. It's also a good Thai restaurant, though much busier than Imperial. It's really nice to work here, my Indonesian friend also works here and even the supervisor is also an Indonesian and he's really nice too. It's like working for fun there ^^
Too bad that I'm just going to work there temporarily.

My room.... honestly not really good, but... since I already been warned that it's really bad... It's still much better than what I was imagining, so.. It's still very good lol. I got quite a big room and it's only for 2 of us, me and my friend. Though.. of course.. the bed is a cheap one, including with the bed sheets and all.. My blanket has several holes on it, the heater is not working properly... Luckily we got another small heater, that save our lives during the cold winter nights... hehe. And even now.. my mind already running around how to make my room more cozy... lol

When we already bought new bed sheets, my roommate is going to move the bed into the corner, than we're going to have more space... I'm going to ask for the blanket from my Indo supervisor, he told me that he have more if we need, and I'm going to put my holes blanket as a carpet so we can sit on the floor.. I might also buy some pillows hehehe. We're going to buy a small fridge to put our food supplies there, including milk, yoghurt, and... ice cream ^^.

I just hope that summer will come soon. Since Zug is a beautiful city near the lake anyway.. I tried to walk along the lake last week.. but.. it seems that winter winds is trying to put me back to my chamber. hahahahahahahaha

the fate of a stagiere

well...
it's been a long time since the last time I wrote.
but to be honest, it has been a couple of times that I really want to write.
but... after working for the whole day...
I'm not in a mood to write anything..
though actually there are lots of things that I want to share.
just like today..

My boss has a picture of birds sitting in a bird stand that shape like a pyramid and it resembles of the organizations.
the highest position always see shit at the bottom, though it is his own shit!!!
and of course as being on the bottom, the birds are covered with shits from the birds in upper positions, and all that they could see is their asses!!!
we have a good laugh about it.

but it happens to me today!!!

yup...
it's the shit from the upper position, but of course, as being at the bottom, we got the blame.

well,
every Thursday there's a deep cleaning, that we should clean all the tables, including the under of the table.
usually I always do the back office, it means I clean and refill all of the bottles, tea, etc..
and I remember that on the earlier weeks, I did tell my supervisor about the deep cleaning, and of course, I never checked on him.
I just do my job in back office, when it's finished, and the other's finished, then of course I thought that they have done everything..
he's a supervisor, of course he knows what to do. (or... it should be)
but it turns out that they never done it.
and today we worked with other supervisor, and then... he found out about everything..
so... of course the under tables are very dirty..
and he reports to the upper boss..
and of course..
the blame goes to the birds at the bottom...

and one thing that I learned about life in work...
just say yes to your boss..
what ever that they said. (of course just until certain limits)
coz..
it happens before that the upper bird set a cold war.
try to find any single tiny mistake, even if it's not a mistake!!!
at that time.. I don't even have any mood to work.
so I learned, whatever that he says, just say yes.
whatever that he thinks ok, just say ok, (though it might be really silly or unreasonable!!!!)
so even now they put a blame, just accept it.
don't want any problem.
what I had is enough already.
I rather be put in a blame by those upper birds than having another cold war by another upper bird.

this is life by the way..
as everyone knows..
it's unfair
coz we have to live inside it, get used to it.

my frist days of work

work work work
what so special about working?
it's tiring!!!!
I'm so tired!!
I am!!!
just finished the second day of work, and I'm so tired...
though actually it's not much different with the works that I've done in Market Place before, but of course now with longer working hours and more things to do that now I'm a stagiere, not just a student.

there are 3 other students that work in cafetaria too, Tammy, Danang, and Akiebu. and for French restaurant, it's Silavaria and Ian. I think all of us could do well.. or I hope so.. hehehe

Plus, now we have a new chef, a Vietnam chef!!! at last... the food in Market Place has a little bit of flavor!!! not like before.. tasteless.. well, no offense but.. a.. um.. to be honest... sometimes, you know sometimes the food is great. but.. um.. usually,.. not that good..
XD

since now I'm working in that place.. I really hope that the food is good.
really good.. hehehe

well, talking about food.... I'm hungry now...
hahaha
