Work Experience
From the 24th-27th October, I was on Work experience. I decided to go to Blás in Portumna. I could only work for 2 1/2 days.
Monday
The Restaurant was closed on this day
Tuesday
This was my first day of work experience in the café Blas in Portumna. When I went into the café I introduced myself to Majella (the owner of Blas). She showed me around the café and she gave me my first job. My first job was to fill the fridge with new drinks. Afterwards I was told to go to each table and replace the old business cards with the new ones. When I finished the jobs Majella made me a cup of tea and she asked me what were my interests, do I have any brother and sisters and my age. Later that morning I was introduced to the other people who worked at Blas. When I finished my cup of tea, Majella gave me a list of jobs to do and after that she left for the day. The jobs on the list would include cleaning windows, replace jam pots and sugar on table and clean the table with the cake mixer on it. When I was finished these jobs I was allowed to get something to eat. The cook there made me a ham and cheese sandwich. When I finished my sandwich helped clean the dishes and cutlery. After lunch I helped peel the skin off of the carrots and potatoes. Afterwards I cleaned the doors and the last job of the day was to mop the floor and to put the small packets of butter in the fridge.
Wednesday
Majella wanted me to take a day off because she wasn't going to be at Blás.
Thursday
My first job was to fill the fridge with new drinks. Afterwards I had to fill the small bowls on the tables with small packets of butter. Afterwards Majella made me a cup of tea and she allowed me to relax. Afterwards I washed the cutlery. Afterwards I had to dump some boxes and sweep up the leaves outside. Afterwards I sat down and the cook made me some lunch. Afterwards I had to clean the desk where the buns were made. I was allowed to go down town and hang out with my friends. My last of of the day was to wash and clean more dishes
Friday
27th October
This was my last day of working In Blas. My first job was to fill the fridge. Afterwards I was told to go to Supervalue and get the newspaper, brown envelopes and broccoli. Afterwards Majella made me a cup of tea and told me to make boxes for the cakes. Afterwards I had to replace the sugar in the jars with new packets. Afterwards I went to the kitchen and helped clean the dishes. Afterwards I cleaned up the desk where the buns were made. Afterwards I sat down and the cook made me some lunch. She made me a chicken wrap with cheese and chips. After lunch I helped clean more dishes and I was allowed to sit down and take a break until 1.00. Before I left Majella signed my work experience form and we said our goodbyes.
I really enjoyed working at Blás and it was fun talking to Majella and she was a nice and kind person.
