Work you say?

So... Below this post, I wrote about how I felt about Work Experience. Now I'm about to write what literally happened. All happened at the New Kuta Condotel in Pecatu.


The name, I don't even know why it's called 'New Kuta' because I personally don't think it would EVER be the New Kuta. Then again, that's just my opinion of the namel itself, but the environment is good. No hate.


First of all, let's say I was complaining for the first three days of work. Why? Because it was simply boring. I had to sit there translating 150 slides from English to Indonesian. Not to mention the language was super complex. I haven't even heard of some of the words on the slides before. But at least I wasn't alone, Jen was there going through the pain of being bored with me.


It was really hard for us both to just sit down until the day was over, but thank god we had a chance to spend some time in other departments too such as F and B (Food and Beverage), Housekeeping, Sales and Accounting, etc. So it wasn't as bad after a while.

We (Jen and I) were based in the Human Resources department, basically we went through all the data of the employees, and supplying all their needs. We were supervised by one of the coolest supervisors ever, her name was Ms. Devy and she was surprisingly afraid of FLIES. OK... Like that's totally normal. I'm pretty sure they're harmless, but not the most hygienic insects around.


There was a man who looked like the Indonesian version of Mr. Mark, I didn't ask for his name though but Jen and I were amazed. No joke, he had Mr. Mark's height, face, hair (in black) and he smiled like Mr. Mark too. Ah, I should have taken a photo!


That was one of the highlights of my work experience, along with the finger scanner to record attendance. It was awesome! At a point, it didn't recognize Jen's finger, it didn't even give Jen's finger a chance to be scanned. Also my sort-of near death experience, but it was hilarious. So one day we were finished with work and we decided to take the elevator just because, and I noticed this boy who was on his way down the stairs, and then Jen and I went in the lift to go down, when the doors opened again, the boy was gradually making his way on the next few steps down. I didn't realize that we were on the next floor already and I told Jen, "We're on the wrong floor!" and Jen replied "No we're not, come on, we're on the right floor." it was like dejavu to me, so I slowly made my way out... But I guess I was too slow so I got squashed by the elevator doors. Apparently I scared Jen into laughter.

Anyway... That was one heck of an experience. Though I don't think that's something I would be doing in the future, unfortunately.  As much as I loved it, it's not really my thing but the next time I stay in a hotel, I'll never look at it the same way anymore, after knowing how much hard work all the departments put in it, its not that easy. I have a whole new perspective on hotels now!
