So, nightfill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pressing.
I started at 10pm sustained by a servo chicken sandwich purchased from Evan who works the worst hours I have ever heard of. Work ran until 3am, apparently it was a pretty bad night because of the long weekend, but the time just flew by. The boss Fernando was friendly and showed me the basics, as well as another new guy called Jay who had just started. Jay was probably Singaporean. In fact judging by the amount of 'lah's going around I think everyone except for myself, Fernando and another white guy Olly was singaporean. Am trying to recall names, I remember Brian, Raj (or maybe Rash or Raz or something), Jason, Christina, and Boon, and there was one other guy i didn't speak to. Oh, and one other older white guy who worked out the back sorting trolleys of stuff. They seemed like a really fun crew, when they weren't talking in moon language amongst themselves they were joking and singing along with the radio and making me feel welcome which was :up:

So, at no point did i beg for a violent end to my pitiful existence like i do with every instant spent at the drycleaners. The work is simple, the people are cool, and the pay is good. No doubt I will revisit this post in a month or so and mock my own naivety, but for now I am very pleased with my new job :)

Oh, and I woke up at 12:15 today :P
