I had a bit of a weird start into 2013!
I was offered to work in a shop from 9am – 6pm … that meant getting up early and giving up spending Tony’s last day off of work with him, BUT it also meant getting almost £100 just for one day’s work! Couldn’t say no to that! =D Especially after spending so much on gifts over christmas! =)
I had no idea what shop I was going to work for (since it was through the agency) and I had no idea what sort of job I had to do. So I showed up at 9am, but nobody was there. I kept running around looking and waiting, but no one showed up. The agency wasn’t in the office either, so I had to speak to the night service, who couldn’t help me much. They asked me to wait. So I waited. In the cold. (Actually I just had a coffee in a coffee shop, but it was still very cold!) and at 10am there was still no one at the shop. I finally found the security place for the shop and they said that the shop wouldn’t open till 11am!!! I was so angry! Waiting two hours in the cold… I could have stayed up till midnight and get a bit more sleep! But nooo I had to sit there in the cold waiting.
When I finally got into the shop and started work, it wasn’t bad at all. Time went by quite quickly and the job itself wasn’t bad at all! But I was still dreading the “fight” I’d have to have with the agency the next day to get paid from 9am onwards rather than just 11am!
So at the end of the day my thoughts about 2013 were: horrible/complicated start but rather good end! =D Let’s hope 2013 will really be good! =)
Also, I just spoke to the agency and luckily I didn’t have to argue at all. The night service had spoken to them already so I didn’t have to say much and they said that it was the client’s fault and hopefully I’ll get paid from 9am to 6pm! 🙂
That means it’s a good start to the 2nd day of 2013 as well! ^^
Hope everyone else is having a great start to 2013 as well! 🙂
