Working for Big Bad Wolf 2012

Date :3 Dec 2012 - 24 Dec 2012 3/12/12-5/12/12 This is the first time I work for a book fair ... not just any book fair but the biggest book fair in MALAYSIA!! The first 3 setting up day was the the worst day I had compare to all the part time job I had. From nothing we turn it into something was a challenging job. From setting the table to organizing the books on the table is not an easy job as we are facing 3 million of books from all around the world by many authors , genre , sizes and so on! We often change the place of the book and it is tiring as you have to put the book on and off the table trying to find space. Our feet and back suffer from endless pain... it is like your leg stepping on hundreds of needle. 6/12/12 Media day - nothing much - working for children book department - nothing much except parents , teens , children going nuts for the books and it got messy but we were told that it would get worst by tomorrow 7/12/12-9/12/12 Open 24 hours straight - 1st time saw people coming for books 1 am in the morning and on the weird hours where most of the people would be sleeping and having a sweet dream - work as counter this 3 days - encounter a lady customer that is rude and no manners. 10/12/12-13/12/12 Time back as normal - nothing much - helping parents to find for the books - recommend enid blyton story books which is a very good book and I used to read when I was little. 14/12/12-23/12/12 I could not stand the children department so I ask to go to general fiction to be with my friend and my request was granted. So from this day every single day I work there and I realise that this place is where I belong because I was happy working at fiction department rather than children's department as arranging book here is really relaxing as we are dealing with elder people which they would not make this place as messy as children department where you could not arrange it because it will turn back into messy in 1 min after I tidy it. I was able to smile a lot here and I was needed here by customer as they praise me for I often found the book they need or direct them to the right place for their book. I was even surprise when a lady praise for being very helpful and friendly and she told me that she came everyday for the past few days and was not able to find the book she wanted and after she meet me she can find most of the book... I replied her with my smile as a thank you for praising me. I was happy here along with my new fiction friends... we ate our lunch & dinner together in a group and help each other and chatting... this was the first time I feel like we are a family... We also help each other to find the books that they want and keep it under the table but unfortunately our luck is not always with us as there is a few time that the books we kept went missing... I am sure that the book we went missing were taken by the customer.. it is my first time experiencing customer who went under the table just to find for the books they want... 24/12/12 Today is the last day and we are setting down for this book fair... we work with a smile on our face but deep in we are kinda sad as we knew that we are going to be apart soon and not seeing each other for sometime or maybe forever ? I was kinda moody on that day but still I try to show them my best smile... We manage to finish it on 9 pm at night and we bid each other goodbye with hugs and flying kiss...I went for supper with them at a nearby mamak.
