I don't have the best of memories and there's loads I gotta do like remember time entered store, time joined queue, how many were in front, when did i get served, did they upsell a product to me, how many highchairs could i see, was my table clean, etc etc, too many questions argh! Luckilly I only gotta fork out £3 max i think... it says you have to buy a panini but i'm really fussy so i might have to take some chewing gum and just stomach it. I'll eat half and pretend I didn't like it or somethin.
Sounds similar to the Starbucks I had to do. I would do 15 - 20 in one day and go three days straight. I also had to check the toilets, ask a stupid question, sex & description of person waiting on me, temp & weight of drink... It was really a lot of info. I made these tiny cheat cheat papers and wrote down the info as I went. I really didnt care if anyone saw. I also have a terrible memory and the first few made me very nervous also.
It is no big deal and they wont kill you if you get anything wrong - hell they wont know if you get anything wrong. Good luck. Hope it goes well.
Yeah, Dan I kinda like the physicality of mowing the grass but NOT in this kind of heat and with stupid machines. I dont really like motorized machines that much. They actually make me a little nervous. Maybe in a past life some kind of bad accident happened.
Today got the beast working and finished one lawn. Stopped the mower, filled with gas, started mower and started second lawn. Five mins later the thing just stopped! I must have pulled that damn starter rope a hundred times with NO luck. I got worn out with all that pulling and frustration but I had to finish the second job. Got out an old push mower and it was so much work. So horribly hot again. I think I got a bit of heat exhaustion and I have to do it all over tomorrow :eek:
