Daily Activities

I joined and signed up as a volunteer since yesterday. My first day was totally fine. The manager, Judith, said that for first timers, she would usually started at up floor but unfortunately that day, down floor people short of people instead. Later than, she assigned me to down floor.

I joined the British Heart Foundation (BHF) charity shop by the way, so the upper floor would be the ones that dealing with labeling, sort out stuffs and so on meanwhile, the lower floor would be what people called as high street fashion shop. I am actually enjoy working down floor instead upper floor. 

My work shift would be on every Wednesdays and Thursdays  1300-1700. I could sense that my communication/ interpersonal skills are certainly improving. I met new people these two days I worked. It's absolutely stress free. 

Now as for today, while I was upstairs tagged the labels, Beverly came all of sudden and without even knowing who am I ( we haven't even properly introduced ourselves yet that time), the said to me: I'VE BEEN DUMPED. I'm stunned. 

I didn't know how to react to her statement, so instead of pour more oils onto the fire, with a great care and caution, I asked her for how long she has been into relationship with this guy. She told me and then, she would continued how and what he had said to her before she eventually being dumped.

Later afterwards, John and Adam joined me and the three of us worked together in that room. I thought by mastering Tom's accent (Tom's accent for me until now, was the mild and fast accent) , I would surely survive and oh boy, I was wrong. Their accents are really thick ( I mean it, really, really thick). There were few times I have asked them to repeat. I think I have to work out that one. 

Despite the way they talk, they are really good boys and Adam especially would do all the talks and he is very entertaining! John would be as the back up and he would replied Adam most of the time. I would join their conversations but mostly I prefer to be a listener instead and laughed whatever jokes they made off. 

I met Shakira and I met.... Yammie (?) I don't know much about Yammie. She is an acquaintance of mine though. I actually noticed that some black people have a very unique name, names that I never thought of it before. I met few of them and I would say, I'm impress. Black men have a normal, decent names but not women. I met this woman at primary care recruitment and at first I thought she was joking when I asked her name. 

She told me that her name is BLESSING. I met some other woman at different time and her name is HOPE. well, I guess Hope is a normal name but Blessing? See that point? I'm impress. for me that is just a word but for them, they make it into their name. 

Oh well. People's choice though. I like her name by the way. :)
