Zoning Out Of Time

My First Night shift last night: 7:30pm to 12:00 midnight. Apparently Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest nights. What does Wed bring? Wed means counting up all the stock in every machine, including the only one i helped out in....Sweet Land 4.

Sweet Land 4 sounds sweet, and the chocolate inside (eg. maltesers, bounty, twix and M&M's) are SO tasty. There's like so many in the machine, that many kids like i drool over the sphere-like windshield; the only thing holding me back from that sweet Chocohol...

The problem about it is that we have to count every sing one.......Handpicking them all, we brought it to the counter and counted the lollies first, adding a dash to the tally for every 50 lollies. A total of 911 lollies were in the machine, 3 of which i won whilst testing if it works.....Ok, i pretended i didn't know how it worked, and three fantales came out.


The delectable chocolates weren't counted by me. James, my assistant manager, must have saw that stalkerish stare i was giving those vulnerable, kid size packs. But i was immediately taken aback when i picked up a couple in my hand. At first, it felt like pure gold. And pure gold is soft, and malleable. Wait....Soft, and malleable? Turns out, the chocolate were melting under the light in the Sweet Land 4. Would they expire at a quicker rate? Hmm...questionable lollies and chocolate in that machine. I am now off chocolate.....for 24 hours. I'm a chocoholic, i can't help it...

I finished my 1.5 litre bottle of water at 9:05. *Sigh* It sure is a long night. But i soon got into a debate with one of the other workers there.

Richard: HAha, those thwo over there on DDR are turning around. Such arrogance...Do you like DDR?
Seton: NOPE! I think it's one of the worst games that came out. But people seem to like it...
Richard: :O.........How can you say that? It's one of the BEST games EVER!


Anyhow, we got through that one, and at 11, i was a little tipsy. It was past my bedtime, and i wanted to go home. But as a CSA (Customer Service Attendant), we are expected to do a few jobs here and there. This includes cleaning a few games, using some windex on glass/plastic screens, and the they one that gave me such great joy, vacuuming everywhere there was carpet.

The vacuum is HUGE. And it has TWO suction motors. TWICE THE POWER, TWICE THE PAIN. Oh gosh, it was so fun when i started. It was SO freaking loud that i interrupted conversation throughout the whole store. Even threw off the DDR athletes and drummers. Hehehe....

I was happily vacuuming, until i stopped mid swing. Ah, minor stall, so i continued. Stopped again....The suction power was so great, it was getting stuck on the ground, forcing me to use both hands. A 10 min job for my superviser, took me 45 mins to complete. Hmm...Very efficient use of resources.....

Slipping in and out of consciousness, i was able to get through my first night shift, but this Sat, i'm working till 2. Not to worry. I'm in Northbridge, aka, Perth's City of Bubble Tea.
