..You probably do. It's understandable! Although not much happened recently, let me elaborate on my days anyways!
TUESDAY!?!?!
Gotta be honest, having Monday off has really thrown my week off. All of Tuesday I was like wait what day is it? What month is it? Where am I? China? What?.. Literal internal conversations with myself haha #wishIwaskidding Anyyywho, Tuesday was my first official day at Front Desk!! Exciting right?? YES that's how I felt too! **Keyword: felt** So I go into work at 6:50am #toodamnearly #BirdsAintEvenChirpingYet After awkwardly standing around in the back office, finally Sherry, who's in charge of my training at front desk tells me they do a morning briefing and to just have a seat. Of course I did. And listened while they had their briefing in Chinese. Totally understood everything that they talked about seeing as how I speak Chinese and all.. NOT. After that, Sherry tells me my buddy for the week is Mary and to just follow her around all day, simple right? Well apparently our boss doesn't want me to stand behind the counter the whole time learning how to actually work the system, he wants me to go out and say hi to the guests.. Basically he just wants me to stand there, be white, and say "Ni hao" to everybody... #sotough Kinda sucks, so hoping they'll let me do more sooner or later! All day I just stood around saying hi and not actually being at the front desk until 3:30 :/
AFTER work was sweet. Thomas took Ann and I to.... CENTRAL PERK. Yes, Central Perk. It was a coffee shop based off of friends, friends posters and scenes everywhere around, some drinks came in the big mugs, the coffee shop even had a cat, I'm assuming to rep "smelly cat." Needless to say, it was awesome!!! Oh and I got a hazelnut latte, which was so freaking good. Miss hazelnut coffee!! I had to really pace myself otherwise I would have ordered 5 and I'm not made of money man!! I'm an idiot and didn't bring my camera, but no worries I will definitely be back there again for a photo shoot.
Once we were all hyped up on coffee, we were just really in the mood for 'MERICAN food. Luckily, Brooklyn's, Western restaurant, was a block away. We immediately called Heather and Sarah to meet us there once they got off of work.. Well their taxi driver didn't know where it was but they didn't find this out until they were in the taxi, of course.. So Ann, Thomas and I are starving.. "Is it rude to order? I say 5 more minutes... Okay, 5 more minutes" (Guess I should have mentioned that we currently only have one phone and Ann had it at the time) Well we ended up ordering appetizers, chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. That's when they showed up, they have perfect timing! haha They quickly scanned the menus, we ordered, ate the appetizers and drooled over other peoples' food until ours finally came out #LayOffMeImSTARVING I got a chicken sandwich with fries. Best. Mo'Fo'. Food. Such a good dinner choice! Then we left and BOOM, bedtime!... After an episode of friends :)
WED-NES-DAY (<-- I know some of you still read it like that... GUILTY AS CHARGED)
Classic A-shift day: Got to work at 6:50, still don't know how to put my hair up like I'm supposed to so it's in a bun haha #HairRetarded Today, my buddy, Mary, let me help for a bit before our boss made me go greet #frustrating Anywho, I made some copies of ID's, sent some messages to housekeeping, learned about Shangri-La's rewards program, and then I greeted for the rest of the day. Oh, and have I mentioned I can be super awkward at making small talk sometimes? Because I am haha Sometimes it's fine, and others I'm like uhhhh sooo lovely weeezzzaaarrr we're having (Pink Panther). At 2, I had to go to a 3-hour seminar on how to do e-signatures because Shangri-La is trying to save some trees! Thennnn after that I had to go to human resources for a monthly check-up on how things are going, finally I was freeeeee!!! Then I got to the apartment and Ann was like sooo dinner? And then we headed to icafe #ClassicBuffet After din-din, we chatted, and of course watched friends!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and I'm off tomorrow!!! And this is how I remember: Monday 1 day, Tuesday 2 day, Wednesday.. what?, THURSDAY (If you can't figure out what show this is from then I probably don't know you)
MISS YOU! Yes, YOU!! I miss YOU!!
Look at this dessert from icafe.. Oh and this is why I'll be fat when I get back
