Work at 9.30 am. Lunch for an hour. Back to Work. Either rush for ushering or band practice or even working at the shop again. Leave at 10.30 or 11.30pm.

That's has been my routine for the past two weeks or so. AND I AM VERY TIRED.

Even 'sleeping in' today for a mere 8 hours was a luxury to me.

The mosaic music festival has kept me and a few of my colleagues at esplanade most of the time, settling commission with artistes, running to and fro from the shop to other performing venues, checking on how our other newer colleagues are coping with the sales of merchandise and CDs, performing usual stuff like replenishing stock in the shop (which could take up quite a considerable time). Wow. It has been quite a festival hasn't it. With us doing taxi claims as we were leaving esplanade most of the time after 1am. Sometimes i even had to work frm 9.30am to 1am consecutively for three days.

The work dosen't end there after the festival.

Reports have to be submitted regarding the sales, invoices that have been overdue due to the absence of our manager have to be settled. Blah Blah Blah. It's almost like i'm a full-timer now.

Well, on a lighter note, i get to learn quite a bit abt the retail trade. About stuff you cannot learn frm textbooks. And of course, contribute more to the company than just sitting at the counter and serving customers. Quite an experience i must say.

Well the outlook for the next few months or so...

National Band Competition with TP

Symphonic Band Festival (Tertiary Bands)

Oh yeah, by the end of this month, Esplanade will be the employer i stayed the longest with. :) No plans on quitting soon anyway.

Till then.
