few weeks ago i was in a state of emergency n depression. like most students, there will be a time where u’ll be broke. u’ll have no money. u will reach an extreme point where u will even have to compare prices for just 10 cents. mostly everything will go against you. so what i did next was to look for a part time job (should done it months ago!) to make the story short i got job as a glassy in Smith. Bar in Britomart.

A glassy’s job is mainly about collecting glasses and cleaning them. i am also responsible to refill the cooler with drinks, as well as assisting the manager in other hospitality stuffs. it may sounds like a dull job but it’s more than just that. the atmosphere is lovely. the bar’s quite classy and unique. on a busy night it can accommodate about 40 to 50 ppl. working from 8pm till late, i’m constantly accompanied by great music and people as well.

i was also very fortunate to be able to meet new people. my wonderful manager, jose, is very friendly and cheerful. other staffs, justin, elyse, n carel are great as well. i feel happy to work with such a great team.

i also had the opportunity to learn some skills in making coffee and mixing cocktails. My first self-made coffees are flat white, latte, espresso and the yummy hot choc. had fun using the coffee machine eventho frothing the milk was quite tricky.  my job also expands my understanding about running a bar. there’s a lot of things to do, i must say.

For me, the most important thing that i got from my job is satisafaction. it feels nice when ur appreciated. a simple phrase such as ‘thank you’ or ‘great job’ from the customers or ur employer really gives u the motivation to do your best. i may be wrong but there are some people may not like their their jobs for different reasons. However, i am very lucky to be some of the people who enjoy doing their job.
