i'm #1

TL: can you do me a fav, since you love me so much?! can you work 7 till 3.30 sat, sunday night from when you can and tuesday from when you can :-)
me: i should just quit uni and work full time eh?? i'll do sat 7-3.30, sun 2 till close and tuesday 5 till close. good enough?
TL: you are brill. if i wasn't married. but hey, superman not :-D
me: haha whatever! and no thanks for superman.

am i brilliant or what? i'm almost always available when they're short of staff, and i'm always willing to help. but when TL said "you are brill. if i wasn't married" is JUST WRONG!! actually, i envy his family la. he's got 2 absolutely GORGEOUS kids and they're super-cute-can-die-dot-com and a very loving wife! so yeah, he should count himself lucky.

my TL must be one of the best person to work with. even though he's our team leader, he doesnt show that he's in control or anything, in face, he brings himself down to our level and do all the crappy things we have to do. in fact, he makes himself to crappier things than us (ie: scrubbing down the family changing rooms all by himself, and also cleaning up the toilets when one of them got stuck with poop and toilet paper). that is why i respect him...

and because of that, i do not mind returning him favours since he's been nothing but super nice to me - giving me the shifts that i ask for, and for being one that i can talk to without teasing me too much about it. more often than not, he offers excellent advise and seeing that he's only 24, i really respect him for his maturity and how his mind works - there's no doubt as to why he isn't our team leader :)

here's to you scotty boi, love ya long time!
