So a little good news…
I got the phone call I’ve been waiting for all week. OK not entirely true. I have been waiting for a call about the results of my interview last week, cos I was told it would happen on Monday or Tuesday. It didn’t happen. They called today (Wednesday) and asked if I could go in for a trial day tomorrow. Woo Hoo! I was thrilled! Almost speechless… I thanked him for the opportunity (at least I think I did) and I asked what I should wear. What kind of question is that?!?! Haha! I would hope he thought it was a sensible one.
Problem is I’ll be on practically the first train headed out that direction… *ugh* Too early! Out the door at 6am and at what MAY or MAY NOT be my new work by 7am. Arriving only 5 minutes early, so by the time I get to the front door I may be just on time. Can’t be helped though I can’t plan for stuff likethis with fixed schedules on public transport. And I can’t plan for delays either… like what if I miss my bus?! I can catch an earlier train but it arrives half an hour early and nothing is open. I’ll take my chances cutting it close with only 5 minutes to spare… and also the very narrow changeover time between train and bus (3 mins).
I get to be tested… I’ll watch and learn… I’ll try out stuff… and I hope I do things right and that they’ll like me. And most importantly I hope I like them too… if all goes well I might get hired. And that’s a great thing! Now the problem is I’ll be working in the IKEA restaurant kitchen. The influx of customers for the X-mas rush probably isn’t the best time to be learning the ropes. It’s a lot of pressure. I also already know someone who works there, Armand is Singaporean, and how I perform tomorrow and possibly in the future (If I get hired) will reflect on him by association. It may be because of him that I’m even being considered for the job, seeing as how I happened to believe that the interview went absolutely horridly! Who knows?
Wish me luck! I’m just a bundle of nerves!
