Today, there's a HUGE drama in the kitchen. Everyday after cooking or baking, we are responsible to clean up all utensils, machines, working tables and floor everyday. Since there are only two basins, some of us have to do the general cleaning, sweep and mop the floor. 8 days had passed and I felt some of us are not pulling their weights. I noticed that some had decided to do a little bit of washings and left the kitchen without making sure the rest of works were done. Worst is that they will stand in one corner and chit chat about the latest movies or gossips while the rest busting their asses off.
So today, I couldn't keep quiet any longer and decided to ask three of the coursemates who were standing talking about the weather to help up and making sure the rest of the kitchen are clean. Obviously, the mother hen became defensive and lashes out on me. Poor me, with soapy hands and dirty dishes in the basin had to listen to her screams. So I decided to target her as the main culprit. Reasons being, she's the oldest of the bunch and you thought she would have some sense of responsibility. And, I felt she's the one who's wasting everyone's focus when she continuosly talking rubbish.
The drama went straight to the main chef. I was at fault because I did not make a complaint first...duh! But, I am not a back-stabber. If I am not happy with someone's work ethics and attitude, I will tell her/him straight in the face!
Well, immediately a meeting was held and I was requested to explain the drama from my side of the story. I told everyone exactly what happened (as I remembered) and agreed that a work schedule is important for everyone. Obviously, she was not happy because in the end my motive was genuine which is to make sure everyone's treated fairly and was given equal workload.
As we came to a solution to work according to a work schedule, she again bursted "I will not work with Brandon!"..."you're full of shit"..."stop your charade"... Well, I do not want to work with you either and do not start cursing or name-calling coz you will be surprised the words that will come out from my mouth when I am pissed. She demanded that I apologise to her which I quickly replied "Never!" and accused me of no self respect. Erm...dearie, self respect means you respect others NOT just yourself...so please check the dictionary before you even use a word bigger than yourself...Surprisingly throughout the whole drama, I was very very calm...
In the end, sadly my cookies were burnt, lost a knife, everyone had a stressful day and I was pissed with myself to get into such mess. Sigh...
