The 10 best encounters while earning as a student
Now the 4th encounter... what encounter exactly...
The christmas atrium sale was located at the mall that I frequented the most, where I would hangout the most too.
After the much dreaded examination, I was eager to find myself a place in the "working-world" as soon as possible. I was excited to be earning my first set of cash. I was even more excited to use the hard-earned money to fulfill some of my teenage wants which are absolutely unnecessary thinking back now.
Well, I struggled to locate the job in the first place, it was even more nerve-wracking to head down to the agency right situated at the middle of orchard road to get my particulars verified.
I was reluctant to be doing it solo, but I was brave enough to try it for my first time.
I was quick to learn about how my pay is less than my allowance of a day.
I was fantasizing about the many possibilities of getting all the apparels that are on the fast fashion side, the appetising caloric snacks, and the many adventures I could go to.
I was fixated on the pay date like seriously.
Little did I realise how many soles will yell "save me" after continuously standing up for nearly half the day while being like a machine folding clothes and attending to the customers.
After the first day, my legs were so sore I whined back home thinking that I would never ever work retail again. Questioning myself if I can still make it for tomorrow's shift...
