Having a part time job is far from lucrative but having the spare cash is a great help most of the time. Being able to afford that extended stay at lakes entrance, and stuff like that. And uni life seems to be less hectic than that hell hole called foundation studies. Even though uni is, in a way, tougher.
Time management is easy, as work is flexible, i can do mornings, then go to school in the afternoon, or vice versa, pretty cool that my job's like that.
And there are the perks, such as free flow fries, might be a one way street to obesity, but i'm controlling myself. And food that isnt sold can be taken home to munch on. The girlfriend loves them fried wings, so most of the time, there are 2 that aren't sold.
And the biggest perk of all should probably be the proximity of this place to home, its a 10min bus ride, that's not considering the wait, which is pretty cool. I could walk home if i wanted to, that's if i wanted to, i'm not usually that crazy.
And so, now i'm at work, i'm functioning less than usual because i'm lacking in sleep, but its alright because i'm hardly busy right now. Things will pick up in an hour or so, but all i'm doing is sitting around.
So what exactly does my job consist of? I man the snackbar, i deep fry stuff, i collect money, i sell drinks, and function like the old indian dude at the mamashop in a singaporean context.
There are drawbacks of course, like getting spluttered by hot oil and being bored now, but i take home 10/hour, and being 10mins away from home, that's not a bad deal, considering the fact that i earn at least double what most part timers get in singapore, and i do close to nothing.
And now, i'm slightly less bored, so i'll open a can of coke, and chill out for a bit.
