On Typhoon Day

On Friday morning last week, I got a phone call. It told me that could I try to work tomorrow? After I heard this news, I thought that it’s unbelievable because this work was not only my first part-time job but also it was a typhoon day tomorrow! After I told my cousin about this news, she invited me to live her house, because the work place was near to her house.

The morning on typhoon day, I was waked up by some loud sounds of the wind beating the window in my cousin’s room. About 9:20a.m., my cousin bought me a breakfast; it’s a delicious sandwich with good smell of cheese. After I finished my breakfast, it was time to go to work. So, I wore my yellow coat and walked slowly to my destination. In my work way, I could hear loud roars of the wind and the rain like fog surrounded me.

A few minutes later, I arrived at the restaurant that I work for. I saw some persons standing in front of the door of the restaurant. Everyone wore a yellow polo shirt with the name of this restaurant, so I guessed they were also employees of this restaurant. Then boss appeared and open the blue Iron Gate. I followed those employees going into the kitchen. My boss told me that if I have any question, I could ask a lady who had been working here more than two months.

Everyone began to do their work. My role in this restaurant was a waitress, so I had to mop the floor and service guests. Unfortunately, I found that the rain dripped down from leaks in the roof. Therefore, I spent the whole day mopping the floor. Because it was a typhoon day, few guests came in. Finally, my boss let the staff go home.

At short, I think it’s a special and painful experience for me. I never go out when the news says that it’s a typhoon day, everyone should stay at home. I can say it’s the craziest thing that I never do before. Therefore, I suggest those people who have to go to work on typhoon days should notice their safety.
