BOGOR. At home. Breaksfast.
Baru mau suapan kedua.. diiinn..ddiiinnn..
the pick-up service is already there at my door.. OMG...
yowess.. so i just take my vitamin and wrap up some slices of bread to eat on the way there..
phew..
09.30
BANDUNG. SVG guest house, ciumbuleuit.
still have time to prepare everything before all candidates show up for interview..
So I take the bread and read up some of the CVs. 10.00
One of the supervisor shows up...
it turns out that he has some problems with the manager in the outlet..
so.. there I am, listening to his version of story.. giving him some pep-talk,
suggesting him some things and stuffs..
He looks releived after spilling over what seemed to be kept for quite some times..
ppffh.. another basketcase role I have to play on this morning.. :(
10.45
First candidate shows up, so I just start the interview.
Basic personal information and some job related experiences I need to dig from this person.
Done. She's succeeded in giving me good impression as she seems to have good knowledge
of what she will be doing in the outlet. Good start.
11.00
Second candidate. Also a she.
She's pretty good too.
I have other plans for her.
11.35
The marketing person shows up. Actually I was a bit worried he wouldn't come and sign the paper.
But a couple of hours before on my way to Bandung he sent me sms making sure that
he accepts the offer and will come to sign the contract.
phew...
So I'll just leave this boy to my M&P Manager for job assignments.
13.00
Lunch. Junk food kinda lunch.. :p
14.15
BANDUNG. Ciwalk.
Appointment with the Coorp. Chef for test food to the cook candidates.
During preparation I made my way to the outlet and meet the RSM for problem review
brought about by the supervisor I met previously.
This is not right. I have to sit and talk with both of them so all versions can be
compared and assessed at the same time.
Save time. I have to be in Jakarta a few hours ahead.
15.30
Still not quite content. Both are having their own judgements and arguments.
This is what I don't like. Sweating small stuffs.. :(
Okay, both of them have made their points and agreed to resolve together.
I give them one week to do that and I'll review this next Wednesday.
And I mean it when I told them: TOGETHER.
15.45
Good God.. Don't think I can make it to the pick-up point by 4..
I called them, trying to shift to the next schedule. Done. 4.30 it is.
Testing the food. These candidates are good!
However, I have to choose 3 out of 4 for Cook and Cook Helpers.
I take this, this and this. (I'm pointing my finger). Done.
16.20
OMG... This is crazy! There's no way I will for the second time shift to another half hour..
Hell NO.
I'm having class at 7. I have to be there. I skipped twice already. :)
So there I run to the pick-up point hoping I can still make it for the 4.30 schedule.
Got there.. a bit panting.. smiling to si mbak counter and asked as politely as I could
while still catching my breath..
me: mbak yg stengah 5 blm jalan kan? Saya tadi udah pesen di seat nomer 3..
mbak: mmm.. mbak.. tadi namanya siapa?
me: ossi. tadi saya tlp yg pindah dari jam 4..
mbak: sebentar, (so she runs through her notes, then her friend's notes... and...
couldn't find my name)..
me: *thinking* shite.. how could this happen..?
mbak: tadi tlp ke nomer yg mana..?
me: ummmh.. bentar mbak... *waks!!* (there I know I made a stoopid error)
mbak: ohh.... itu kan nomer tlp yg di jakarta mbak... Monyong! jadi dari tadi gue tlp pesen shuttle service yg di jakarta utk ke jakarta
sementara gue di bandung aja gituhhh???
amyuunn... bodoh kok dipiara... me: *feeling stoopidly genious* ohh.. yawdade mbak, saya pesen yg jam 5 aja yah..:) 17.05
so there I was, on the bus already. heading jakarta.
That's when I found an amazing fact.
In front seat, sitting a man.. busy talking to his mobile... which is normal bukan??
Yep.. so far normal.. until I found out that he needs to be escorted just to get to the bus
and get seated. Good Lord.. he's a blind man..
I found it amazing that he is able to use the cellphone as it is..
(man, how does he pin the numbers to call?)
ah... Tuhan Maha Maha Adil...
Pak yg duduk di depan tadi sore.. I salute you!!
19.30
JAKARTA. Kampus Salemba. Ruang 101. Consumer Behaviour class.
21.20
TMII high way. Jakarta - Bogor on the shuttle bus.
22.00
BOGOR. Again. Home at last.
