My new job, A Cleaner!
|
真得无法想象! 我怎么会去找份清洁工作? 还是全职的!
这也许是有缘吧! 为甚么我一点都没抗拒或排斥呢? 还相当满意呢!
选着这份工作 主要是为了健康 希望能有规律性的工作 来鞭策自己
除了偶尔当当义工 在家无所事事 身子容易疲惫 也越来越胖了.
无法久坐的原故 不能找份朝九晚五 办公室的工作 或 工厂的工作
平时在家 只是打一篇稿子 就花了几个钟头或两三天才够完成
除非有份 站站 坐坐 活动 活动的工作 总比 " 坐以待毙 " 的好.
家里许久没买小报了 那天大妹回家来 顺道带来几份过期的小报
闲来无事 便翻了翻 阅读 已过了两天的小报 来到刊登广告版
看一看小报里有刊登些甚么工作 可否能找到一份 较适合自己的工做
住家位于东北部 除了饮食业或 门事业 家附近 兼职工作较为难找
退休后 除了到成药房当了几个月的兼职工 却严重地要住院两回
托儿所助理 或 托儿所清洁工都好 换个跑道看看自己能否识应.
.
报章里看到几则托儿所请 助理的广告 发现其中一家 就在家附近
却是要" 清洁工" ! 打电话 迅问看看 接听电话的那把清脆 又亲切声音
后来上班后才知是她是老板 而且来自中国 能在异乡开拓事业 还相当本事
开办托儿所 是非 一般的"生意" 真得佩服中国人的创业经神.
老板一见面 便说我看起来比实际年纪 年轻得多 她在电话里问过我年龄
之后大概地 说了我的工作任务 听上去是不难的工作 都象是一般家务
只是量多了些 偶尔厨房负责煮食的安娣拿病假或假期 我须负责煮一两顿
哦! 天呀! 真得难倒我了 我立刻告诉她 我无法胜任了
我也不隐瞒 我的一切 年过半百的我 除了电饭锅煮饭 煎蛋 煮快熟面
从未煮过一顿饭菜 给我的家人吃 并非想逃避一些不想工作的借口
也许 "急迫" 找到人手 老板 "勉强" 说 "不会煮不要紧 我们到时看着办....."
若那一天 来临 "我们" 该怎么办呢?? .............我真不敢想象.....
就在同一天里 我们家小仓鼠过世了 面完试 回家的路上小妹 来电说道
小仓鼠走了! 归心似箭 刚刚面试的情节完全消失到无影无踪了.
直到隔天女老板 至电给我 过两天你先来试工 看看你适应吗?
其实我知道 女老板 "不看好" 我 她心想 我一定无法 胜任这种" 粗活"
不如让你试试看 肯定你受不了 她还有时间再找人 离月底还有十天..........

MY new job, A Cleaner
I never ever come across my mind One day I be a cleaner, A permanent staff !
I think I am fated to these Job? Why I didn't rejected nor walk off but accepted it with joice!
Our home haven brought any of the local Newspaper for quite sometimes,
One day, My Sister came home and brought along a few back dated newspapers,
That particular Morning I was bored with nothing to do, I flick through the newspapers
Come to the Advertisement page, I was wondering what kind of Job the local paper had.
I staying at North east area, whereby surrounding many retail premises or Food N Beverage outlets.
Retail jobs have to stand throughout the working hours and Office job may have to sit for hours
after my retirement 3 years ago, once got a part-time job at the Pharmacy, end up twice in Hospital.
After my operation and having Thrombosis which then I can't stand too long in the fully air-con outlet
nor can I sitting too long hours in an office .
Once a while helping with charity work, but most of the time feel boring at home
I am getting fatter and fatter, putting on weight and easily felt tire after walking a distant.
When I saw the advertisement of Childcare Center looking for teacher assistant,
One of the Center just nearby my place but they looking for a Cleaner !
I never gave it a thought and straight I phone to the Childcare Center,
not even realising whether can I really cope with the Job or did I really need the Job??
A lady with very gentle and sweet voice answer my call , first asking for my age and
where I do stay? And whether can I to go down for an interview that same day.
When she first saw me was very astonished : " OH, You look very much younger than your age."
And She is my Boss, a Young lady in her 30's and she is from China,
She is really ability to start a business in a foreign country, is not that simple nor easy to start off a
Childcare center not even many of our locals can manage or wanted with such business line.
She roughly told me what of my duty lies, sweeping, mopping, cleaning mattresses for the kids
and sometimes must do some cooking if the Cook is on sick leave. OH ! That really got Me!
I told her I Really do not know how to cook, not that I do not want the cooking.
Though I am 50 plus, I never even cook a meal for my family before.
Maybe just plain rice from the Cooker and instant noodles or fried eggs that what I can cook.
Maybe She was too desperate to get a Cleaner, so she said that we will discuss the matter
if really the day exist, that is not so important as she said with confident,
But what if it is really happen? then what shall we do ??
I was wondering ................................
On my way home after the Interview, I got a call from my sister,
Our precious Hamster has passed away! Immediately I rushed home
My heart was sang and my mind was so whirl , athough all of us was
well prepared that Our hamster was leaving us very soon.
Our little hamster was in very bad condition few days before it passed away.
The interview matters was disappeared thoroughly and was totally forgotten
until the next day the Childcare Boss gave me A call ,
she wanted me to have a try with the help of the current cleaner
to show me the routine job whereby I must follow after she left the center.
I know the Boss was no confident with me, to handle such a JOB as a Cleaner,
because I told her my past and what I was before my retirement.
Thinking I might Quit after the try, and she still had times to look for another person
to take over the current cleaner where she was still working till the end of the month.
I didn't make a noise as my opposite neighbour's door was open then.
