The Fire

Ever tried making a good 1st impression when you arrive at somewhere new? I did try hard to impress my colleagues at Chili's with my hard work and work ethic until... the fire struck~! (Dang, kinda paiseh about this)

It was only my 2nd day at work, when I was assigned to the lounge area. As a server with the lounge area, you're meant to clear ashtrays and clean them before they get too full and all. So thus, there I was, dutifully going from table to table, putting new ashtrays if the old ones are beginning to fill out and then clearing its contents to the waste paper basket at the station. And then walking around to see if the customers wanted anything else.

It was then someone shouted, "Crap! Smoking Waste PaperBasket!" and true enough, the waste paperbasket was smoking! Erm, Or more like there was a ton of smoke coming out of it. Rushing to it with a pail of water, we extinguished it, and found out it was caused by one of the still lighted cigarette butts.

And the next day at work, it became an urban legend when a colleague ask me if I've heard about the farnee guy who lighted up the wastepaperbasket.

Hmm, I wonder who that guy is..

Shhh~~~
