the fact that i know very little about reservations, almost none actually (except for the telephone handling skills which i think mine is better than the other reservation clerk's although he has been working as a reservation clerk ever since he graduated high school, according to what he said), so i think they'll guide me through all the process.
as usual, 1st day was the most boring day of all. little work, excessive yawning and not to mention, i had to memorize the hotels' rates which i have done before when i was working as the office admin there (will tell more bout it later). i almost dead because of boredom but i made it through the 1st week. the 2nd week was hectic. im starting to do the 'real' reservation clerk's tasks; key in, phone handling. to be honest, within the first month, i had the thought that i am actually good at this man. but when i first received a call and the guest was really upset because i had given her wrong informations of the hotel's availability, i started to doubt myself (im not gonna write more on that because it will only makes me more upset). with the help of my superior, problem solved.
at my office we're not using headphone. pathetic much? yeah
well, the salary they offered is not worth the job i must say. but then again, imma freshly graduate student so.. yeah. when i got my 1st pay slip, i was excited and even took a picture of it and had the thought of blog about it. funny aite? but off course i did not. and if i ever did, it would be such a lame post.
so, there is this one guy at the work place, he's one of the banquet team. the first day he started work and i noticed he constantly staring at me and believe me, he looks really creepy! the way he smiles, the look, omg he looks like a serial killer who has some kind of obsession over girls!
couldnt find the perfect photo describing the face and this is the closest. creepy~
since i have started telling stories about one of the employee, i think im gonna continue with the other emloyee. so, the F&B manager. major attitude problem! i once witnessed he scolded one of the banquet guy using harsh wordS. he CLAIMED that he was just being friendly to his boy. but hey, as a manager you should know how to treat people right even if your intention is just to be friendly, know what i mean. im so relieved that he's going to quit at the end of this month!
the former chef de partie. doesnt look like one AT ALL! dont even know his responsibilities, zero leadership and not to mention, his foods are tasteless. SERIOUSLY. i came from an extremely good cook kind of family so maybe that is the reason why dont like his foods AT ALL. plus, the foods combinations are sometimes weird. how can you cooks bitter gourd mix with kankong?? *thatisoneoftheexampleofhisweirdvegecombination actually i have plenty reasons why i dont like this guy. i just dowanna waste my time writing abt him more.
the other reservation clerk. the moment he open his mouth, bangg! i know he made up MOST of the stories. hey, lemme tell ya fella, dont even dare to make up stories about things at Le Meridien Hotel. I used to work there before you know. my aunt used to work there and my bro IS working at the hotel too and i have friends working at the hotel as well. by making up those stories, you're just making fool out of yourself.
my supervisor. if only i can scream to his face, i will say this, 'ANSWER YOUR PHONE OUTSIDE THE OFFICE PLEASE. i dowana hear the argument or romantic conversation between you and whoever you're talking to thank you.' oh ya, he always gives me wrong information/instruction and sometime he is kinda annoying.
there is this guy, this one pun kinda weird but in a good way. not like the creepy banquet guy. im not gonna tell anything abt him. you never know who reads your blog so i'll take precautions on this one. i'll tell more abt him once we get there. not really sure yet (despite all the hints he has shown). he's not really my type though but, you'll never know~
there a lot more i wanna share but i am running out of word so im gonna stop here. wait for the second part which prolly come up in the nearest future, if i have time to write lah.
BYE BYE~
