Worked this two-day event with my injured lower back. Tired. BT was the in-charge for day one while I was the in-charge for day two.
Due to my lower back, I requested to be the flowergirl for day one. I wanted some rest. Things didn't really went well. I was ticked off by Stage IC. WX came to tell me about the same thing after GM complained to her. It was good that I got the chance to explain to WX, but I am not sure how she thinks. Sad.
GM said that I did not smile while I present the flowers. I did smile. I was ticked off by the Stage IC because the soloist wanted to shake hands with me but I left. I have got no chance to explain myself. Seeing that his hands were full and he doesn't looks like he was going to have a handshake with me, I left the stage. Thanks BT for helping me to further explain to WX after I told him what happened.
Bad day. As I was affected by what the GM said, I forgot to smile at Shurong when she thanked me for being the flowergirl. Felt really sorry about it.
The conductor was nice. He made me waited for some time while thanking the musicians before receiving the flowers from me. He gave me a handshake with a "thank you". I thanked him too.
Besides from being the flowergirl, I helped with the drinks and autograph session. Got to get the autographs from the musicians! Thanks Lin for helping me to ask BT.
Felt weird when I get the qutograph from the lady musician as I felt a little awkward while presenting flowers to her. I apologised to the soloist that I "made" awkward. He was very nice. He said "oh, it's alright". It really made me feel better.
Yuyue asked me to join her and BT for supper. The benefit given was that I got to have a free ride home. Haha. I was in a dilemna. I really wanted to join them, but it was rather late already. Decided to join them when they say that it would not take very long.
I had a nice chat with them during the ride and supper. I did not eat anything. They asked me to help myself with the food that they bought but I said that I wanted to sleep as an excuse.
Sending me to my Grandma House, I did not gave clear instructions. Really do not like the part about me that I am not in a clear state of mind when I am tired. I really must improve on this. Lucky that there wasn't much cars on the road. Phew.
Day two was chaotic. I am not good enough. There were four newbies, three with experience but not good enough yet. Jeanie was the only person that can help me a lot. I decided on the deployment while I was on the bus to work.
I gave QianTing a rather important role. Her jobscope was what I had for Day One. As a newbie, she did a very good job.
Preparing for the autograph session, Doris and I had to carry the queue-poles. I tried to roll the poles over so that I don't have to strain so much on my back. Thanks a lot to the guy at the reception counter for coming over to help me out.
Near the ending of the concert, I got to have some time to rest my back. Painful. I did not check out the inside of the house as frequent as I used to. My back was way to painful. I have been running around. I felt really bad that I haven't been taken much care for the newbies, especially for the two that were first time reporting. I had totally neglected the new temporary staff too. I feel so sorry about it.
Clearance of the house and autograph session was very fast. Gave the debrief as requested by Jessica. People doesn't seems to be interested at all. After around ten minutes of debrief, it was time to knock off.
No one knows that I was scolded by the Stage Manager. It was not my fault, just trying to settle the mistake made by one usher. I have got no chance to explain myself again. Jessica knew what happened as I made a comment when I saw something wrong; wrong late-comer queue.
Called Jessica to clear my doubts regarding how to fill in the form before giving it to the temporary staff. I really still need more experience to be a good in-charge.
Mistakes made for both nights were explained, but not to everyone who knows. I wonder will my name be cleared. I just hope that the rest of the events will be smoother for me. I want to have better skills too!
