Lemony Snickets: A Series of Unfortunate Events (my version)

well, i'm contemplating not blogging at all cos i'm too ashamed of myself, but here goes nothing: mine is not as bad as the Baudelaire orphans having to escape from the evil Count Olaf who's after their fortune and their lives at the same time but it is enough to drive me insane for the day...

1) received a wake up call from boss at 11am asking me to start work at 2pm instead of 4pm cos he has something on..a meeting i think.
2) Freaking blender got problem, so wanted to change to the new wan instead but later changed my mind and used the cracked one instead...
3) Yuan yuan came at 3pm only to tell us that she is not feeling well and dun tink she can work..oh well..
4) Persuaded Auntie to work until 5pm so that she can help us finish the cones which ended with us hearing her nag all the way through till 5pm.
5) So we have 3 staff working today with 3 ice cream machines to take care of.
6) Here comes a customer who is bent on having his way saying that: "i'm a regular customer here, u noe??" i wa jus about to go, i've worked here for 2 yrs already, U NOE!!??..he is sooo insistent on having the discount that he called boss himself to tok to him after which boss told us to jus give him the discount and send him on his way, after that, he wanted an extra $11.20 container from us, hai..wad to do, we obliged lo..cos in front got customers waiting to be served u noe..
7) Constant turning of the cracked blender on its handle has taken a toll on it, when i brought it out to the second machine to bring up the hardened ice cream, when i lifted it up, the top part came up with it leaving the bottom part with the machine and u guessed it!!..the chocolate mixture came SPLASHING down onto the table top and the floor..well..bye bye to 10 scoops of ice cream..had quite a hard time cleaning it and removing the evidences..(if u dun understand wad i'm saying here..dun bother asking..jus noe that it's unpleasant..)
8) today's sales didn't even hit $1000...isn't that bad!!??

well, i guess that basically sums up today's happenings...hai...hope tmr will be a better day..
