I was able to get my last days off...

So today was supposed to be my 3rd last day at work... turns out it was my last. This is because like the title says I was able to get the last two days of work off.

Although... I have to go and return my uniform after I washed it which is okay I guess :/

Today for my training was more like your-semi-on-your-own-day. I was sorta like an independent worker for the most of it. Had this one ask me why I was leaving... said it was cause of family issues...my dad side of the family and all... well that excuse is half true for some of the family problems in my life but that's for another day.

It was overall a good way to leave the last day of work.. I had basically gotten the hang of everything sorta.. aha

I actually saw one of my managers as I was coming out of the cinema today... awks lol

Beside that I just hope that I get chosen for the Peter Alexander part-time vacancy and sort out my uni stuff asap.

work was actually...

yes, I will admit it was actually good today. Actually fun and made me kinda wish I didn't resign...

I had the trainer I had on my very first day and it was pretty okay. I did assembling again so yeah it was okay I guess. I am incredibly slow at making burgers though hahah

I also go a free set of awesome headphones from my manager for some reason... WINNING lol

(will insert picture another time)

...

1 down 4 to go

And I did assembling again... with that crappy trainer... but i learnt somethings :)
But I for some reason kept trying to avoid the guy I was supposed to talk to about resigning.. ugh so awkward. But you know what on my training modules I was supposed to do breakfast stuff and obviously I can't do that now so then when will I do it. My shifts are all afternoon shifts

Omg my trainer was saying to one of the other workers that he has X amount of days until he can have legal sex.. what??? why are you saying that out loud again? umm is something wrong with you? you don't say that type of thing in a work place and also he kept leaving me alone by myself... uhh hey man train me? I have officially realized that I do not work well or fast enough when there are like 100 orders coming through wtf

Still a little shite head but he was a little more tolerable. So I now have 4 shifts to go until I officially resign. I didn't receive any rosters today so I guess that means the message got through. How will my eighth shift go?

sixth day at mcdonalds

It was a good-ish shift. I had that trainer I had on my third shift again. Thank god it was someone better. Oh and I did assembling again wtf. I still want to quit despite having second thoughts about it after my shift but I did apply for some awesome retail stores so lets hope they get back soon before I start uni... otherwise my availability will change.

I still want to quit though and will be doing it today (I'm writing this the day after my shift) but I also have a shift tomorrow. Hopefully my reason for quitting will be valid enough (I mean they have to understand it right) that I just go in to work and return my uniform tomorrow because I dred coming back... I will talk more about quitting here.

Fifth day at McDonalds

I just wrote this post but accidentally deleted it -.- so here I go again...

Today guess what? I had that trainer I had on my fourth shift and didn't do the modules again haha no surprise there. He said to me that I'm doing it next shift.. when?? I'm supposed to be moving on to a different station next time -.-

Also incredibly annoyed at this bitch of a manager who fucking clocked me off so I had to clock on. Just tell me that I did wrong don't clock me off to have to need authorisation again wtf. Ugh and she blamed me for this mistake where the burger was wrong way round in the box but I wasn't even the one who was at fault. So annoying!!!!

So I didn't learn shit all from that fucking trainer again and he also left early.. didn't even finish my training with him So instead when he left my awesome trainer from my second shift trained me and I learnt things...at last

I ought to make a list so I don't forget what to put in these burgers..

Don't know who my trainer will be next time but it better be someone good.. someone who is actually going to tech me ugh >:( And I still wanna quit. I just hope my work load for uni makes me have to quit. I'll try and stay with maccas for a while cause otherwise it may look bad on my resume... but I have the excuse of being a uni student anyway >> Who knows..

Everyday work makeup

Just wanted to post about my everyday work makeup because, well, why not? XD

This is basically what I wear whenever I work at maccas (shit job I know), let me explain more about the products that are pictured above.

• On the top right is what I use to lightly fill in my brows: The Face Shop brow something? I forget the name but its in the palette #1. I don't use the spooly and brush pictured anymore just because of how much product I pick up when I use it.
• The eyelash curler on bottom right is from the famous brand Shu Uemura. LOVE LOVE this curler... accept I need a refill on the black thingy.
• For my face I apply the Bare Minerals Original powder foundation in golden tan... this is 1 shade too dark for me. It makes me look like I only tanned my face and forgot about my body but I have to live with it because the lady that matched me had matched the wrong colour and the store was busy so I just bought it :( Anyway I just lightly dust it over my face to even out my skin tone.
• The brown pencil is just a random brown eyeliner pencil from Designer Brands which I got free from the Perth Royal Show (always get free pencil liners from my show bags aha) I just use this to line my top and half of my bottom lash line lightly.
• Lastly my mascara. My holy grail mascara! This is the best thing to happen to floppy, brittle, crappy lashes that require an artificial curl. This is the Maybelline The Hyper Curl Volum' Express waterproof. I believe this is only available in Asia which is why I stocked up when I was over in Vietnam in 2011/12. This baby holds your curl all day and adds an extra little lift to the curl too.. an okay amount of volume but that's all I really want.

I think this is basically the routine I will go through for the rest of my working days. Even if its not at maccas (I must quit soon)

Fourth day training at Mcdonalds

Ugh. utter Ugh! Today as the title states was my fourth day training at McDonalds. The place where I work is still fucking hot but better yet or worse my training today was crap. I didn't know it but my trainer was younger than me.. try still in high school younger than me. And really didn't have me do much today -.-

You know as usual I go and do my modules until the end. (Oh I was actually supposed to make the burgers today btw) Buuuuuuutttt today he said you don't have to do it all because we're going to the back to do it. I only learnt how to really make a few burger and only remember a cheese burger and maybe a McChicken?

The rest of the time on the floor I was waiting around doing shit all and silent as fuck like I usually am (I need to try and be less quiet -.-). The trainer basically socialised and did other jobs while he was meant to be training me. Fucking worst training ever ... yet aha

At least my previous trainer was there and he remembered my name and asked me if I wanted water...

At the end of the shift he didn't do the proper SOC things like my trainer on my third shift. He just did the grilling thing :(

I'm starting to think I'll change my blogger into more of an online diary or journal type thing where I will post my diary stuff like I do now and also whatever else I want whenever I want.



EDIT: Thank you trainer for reinforcing my idea to quit at the end of the year :)

Third day at Mcdonalds

So today was my third day training at Mcdonalds (and my trainer today was actually waiting for me in the crew room this time wtf) and today was also fun, no seriously!

So today my job was to be the initiator which basically is put the correct buns in the toaster and get the right box and your done. Easy sounding right? well....meh I need to remember which burger types need what buns and what colour the boxes (clams) are. -sigh- I think I need to go over some of this stuff. Oh and if its a 'special' burger you got to place this special receipt and sticker on the box to say what it is with/without (that's what make it so special lol) But now I think about it I really have nothing else to write about my shift today...

First day at McDonalds

Okay today (31/12/12) is the day I start working for McDonalds and also the first day of my job experience... ever!
I felt like doing 'diary' entries on how it goes for me and my overall experience up until I decide to quit.

Firstly can I say it took the hiring lady 3 weeks to call me back, in fact I didn't get a call as she said, I had to check online constantly to see if I was even rostered.

SO my first shift is today (3hrs) and note I have a few school friends working there already so I am intimidated as hell haha. YES, I am that type of person who gets easily intimidated in new and unknown situations and I am also crazy nervous. Like, I don't want to go into work and be like "hey, today is my first day working here and i haven't received my uniform yet and I was told to speak to _____ or _____ about it?" Actually that is exactly what i have to say because I don't have a uniform yet D:

Anyway on with my first day....
I got there and asked for the manager and basically said what I wrote above. Got inside the crew room to get given a uniform to find there were no more girls pants in my size... i have to wear boys pants from now until they get more. Also no hair nets left for me and aprons...

I met my crew trainer (she told me she had been working there for 6 fucking years OMG) and first we worked on the modules on metime for the back area - frying stuff.

Basically what I did for the on-floor stuff was doing the frying for things like chicken and fish and also apple pies and how and also when to check if i need more (which I have sort of forgotten haha). I also was shown how to wash the trays (which can get damn hot sometimes) and clean the floors with this massive blue floor cleaner machine thingy which was super embarrassing to do lol

Then basically was tested on the tests which I failed like twice but thats okay I was allowed to do them again  (hate their modules btw).

Overall I did not like the idea of working here. Yes, the training was good (except I completely forgot to ask what to do when I arrive again for my second shift...guess I'll just sit and wait in the crew room), the experience of learning was also good except yeah I didn't want to work in the back. This is what makes me want to quit ASAP

If you like putting things in fryers, waiting for the beepers, taking them out, emptying them into the trays, putting them into the UHC things, checking them constantly to see if you think you need more, cleaning the floors around you, wiping areas around you and also being the awkward newbie like me then you are welcome to take my job. Well I'll see how it goes and stick it out for 6-7 months maybe more then quit. I honestly don't see myself working here for 6 years
