On October 2, 2115, I worked as a network administrator in an Internet cafe in John Wan, Dongguan. That was my second job in Dongguan.
this internet cafe just opened in September, and I went when it first opened, because the signboard outside was very big and gorgeous, and I happened to work nearby, and I noticed it at once. Internet cafes have always given me the impression that they are dirty and messy. Whether it is Maoming, Guangzhou or Dongguan, the newly opened ones may be cleaner.
I was shocked when I walked in. It's the first time I saw such a luxurious Internet cafe. They named it "Internet Cafe", maybe it's a high-end version of the Internet Cafe. It doesn't matter how you define it. It's clean, concise and hygienic, and it looks comfortable at first glance. There are also special bars to make drinks and snacks, private rooms and oversized screens, and computers that look very good. Most importantly, it's the first time I heard that indoor smoking is not allowed.
At that time, my feeling was like discovering a new continent, which completely subverted my impression of traditional Internet cafes. When I was excited, I immediately made a circle of friends.
I paid for membership on the spot, played for a while, and then went once in a while.
In mid-October, a roommate came here to look for a job. I immediately took him to an interview in an Internet cafe, then had dinner with him and stayed in my dormitory for one night. The next day, I went to work for half a day, then I ran away and left Dongguan. As for the reason, I can't remember anything too detailed. Later, after I went to work there, two female colleagues asked me where he was going. I thought he was very handsome. I was shocked at that time, so I had a try and was deeply remembered by the girls after working there for half a day, haha. Then that buddy is developing well in Shenzhen now.
in late October, after the sushi restaurant was closed down by us, we went to Guangzhou to find friends and went back to Maoming. As for why we went back to Maoming, I don't remember, maybe it was because we were idle, haha.
Then, after I came back to Dongguan, I didn't know what to do according to my knowledge at that time. At that time, I wasn't used to looking for a job online, and I didn't want to do catering. I was very tired and didn't think of a better place, so I thought of going to the Internet cafe to try it. At that time, I liked to study games and the significance of games.
I remember when I walked in the door, I asked the female manager. She said, "Your friend is not coming, so you are here, right?" Then she brought me an interview form to fill out. The interview went smoothly and I went to work the next day.
My salary is not high, and I am in my early 2111 s. I didn't want to make money. I liked eating, drinking and studying games, especially the game. During that time, I had a strong spirit of seeking knowledge and studying, and I didn't understand the answers to many questions. I kept thinking about it and felt very anxious.
There will be hundreds of internet fees every month, which is the welfare of employees. I sometimes play, and sometimes my colleagues with strong internet addiction will borrow my account after using up their internet fees.
The job is very simple, that is, we usually tidy up the desktop, set up the stool, sweep the garbage, deliver drinks and snacks, and chat with colleagues or watch others play games in our spare time. In fact, most of the time we are very idle, except at night and on weekends, there are not so many people at other times.
After joining the company, I learned that the owner of this store is very powerful. There are many Internet cafes in Dongguan, and this store is the first one to go high-end, so it is opened in a large shopping mall, and its decoration and positioning are designed for high-end.
The traditional webmaster of Internet cafes can sit and play with computers and mobile phones during office hours, and only get up when someone needs service. We are different. We can't play with our mobile phones, sit down and have watches on our hands during working hours. As long as someone rings the bell and needs service, we will respond at the first time.
but when we are not busy, we can still be lazy, especially in the early morning and morning, when there are basically no people.
then I learned from the leader which Internet cafe was opened by our boss, and then I went online to check. When I found it, I took the bus to see it. From now on, this behavior is quite naive, but I don't remember what I thought at that time. It may be idle, haha.
of course, there are advantages, that is, watching more and knowing more about the environment of most internet cafes? The atmosphere and general situation are naturally not so novel.
It's hard to imagine that there were at least 31 or 41 Internet cafes in four major districts of Dongguan that I walked through in my spare time, and there were many places I walked through and countless streets and areas.
so sometimes I drive out to play with my friends, and they all say that I know Dongguan very well, and I don't need to look at navigation. In fact, I practiced it that year.
I really loved playing in those days. I used to feel that my life was limited and I enjoyed myself in time. Even if I didn't have any money, I liked to go out for a walk.
If I can do it all over again, I will definitely use it to study or do something I like to bring my value and creativity into full play.
There are many snacks and drinks in the store. I don't think I've ever been in the bar to make drinks, but I've made many snacks in the kitchen. I can cook almost all snacks. I just take semi-finished products and fry them in it. Just count the time. Each kind of food is fried at a different time, so the time must be well balanced. There is a timer on the side, which will ring when the time is up, and then just take it out.
Usually, people who come into the bar to make drinks are considered by the leaders to be better. Besides making drinks, they are also responsible for cashier, card opening at the front desk and a series of front desk work. When I was calculating my salary in January, I asked the manager why the three of us couldn't go to the bar to learn how to make drinks after more than three months. The last three people came late, why can they go in to study so quickly?
His answer is euphemistic, which probably means that the three people who came here first are not very serious about their work and have problems with their attitudes, so they can't let us study in an advanced way yet.
this is the dormitory where we live. the company pays for it, and both men and women have it, but it seems that there is no one living there for girls. I lived in my relatives' house in the early stage and moved here in the middle stage. The environment is OK. In fact, it's not far from the store. The two small partnerships that I live with are OK. One of them has become a brother with me, and now they are in frequent contact and see each other once a few months.
No matter what shift you take, it must be for several days in a row, then take a day off, reverse the time difference, and then start a new shift the next day. For example, some people have been working night shifts for several days in a row. If they don't rest and take turns to work early, they will definitely be unbearable. Therefore, it is necessary to change shifts at least every eight hours to give people time to rest.
So to some extent, I admire my store manager. Scheduling is a very complicated process. If someone needs to ask for leave midway, the group of people will have to change accordingly, and the subsequent dates will also change.
Managers are different. There are only three managers, each with eight hours. If someone needs to ask for leave or rest, the other two will work for 12 hours. Sometimes there will be no manager, so the manager will help watch.
The store manager has very free working hours, usually he will come in the morning or afternoon, and sometimes he won't come for several days. When there is no leadership on the spot, we will play freely. Anyway, as long as there is no major event, we will carry the small things ourselves.
The middle shift is from 4: 11 p.m. to 12: 11 p.m. Actually, I don't like this shift very much. Especially on weekends, there are really many people. More than 111 machines can be almost full. I am very busy. I have to not only deliver drinks and snacks, but also make snacks. When people leave, I have to clean the desktop, clean the nearby sanitation, and respond to the calls of the guests and the front desk.
Although the work was simple and not difficult, I was busy and tired to death, and didn't stop for eight hours.
Sometimes I make mistakes when I'm not busy. I remember that once two people left two cups of milk tea with a few mouthfuls there and went to the toilet. I saw no one, and the computer didn't turn on, so I just threw away two cups of milk tea. Later, the manager made two more cups.
eat a big meal once a month. When the salary is paid, I will eat with my colleagues immediately. More than two thousand a month, I think it was hard at that time, and every month was moonlight. This money can only meet the needs of eating and drinking Lazar every month, and you can't have a better time.
On Christmas Day in p>2115, there was a circus in South China's Moore. During the day, many animals were seen, such as elephants. I've never seen a circus before, so I've always wanted to see it, and there are quite a few people, but I didn't find the opportunity. It seems that the ticket price is too expensive, so I didn't go. In the next few years, as far as I know, there is no such activity in South China Moore, so it's a pity. Even after two years, I finally saw a circus in Chimelong.
I spend a lot of time playing games with my colleagues in my spare time, mainly playing Q-fly CF LOL. All of them are teenagers with internet addiction. Some people may not have such a big internet addiction before, but after coming to work here, they have become more fond of playing after being influenced by the environment. Including me.
Some colleagues are really pursuing the game record, and they have to play as many positions as possible before they are willing to stop. This is also a competitive spirit. I don't care, just play and experience.
Once in a while, we hold a competition. We have a high-profile game computer, a competition area and a huge projection screen, so it is a good opportunity to attract people. In fact, there are really many people watching every game, and the participating teams are also very professional. They will go to almost all Internet cafes to hold competitions, and they will invite relatives, friends or fans to come and help.
It's my first time to visit Songshan Lake.
I finished my middle shift that day and went back to my dormitory at 12: 11 p.m. I didn't go to bed until 4: 11 a.m. I was woken up by them at 7: 11 a.m. I went to Songshan Lake for a whole day, so I was very happy.
I went back to work at 4: 11 or 5: 11 in the afternoon, and started to feel sleepy at 7: 11 or 8: 11, and I couldn't walk steadily. Then I went to the couple's room to have a rest, and was called out at regular intervals. Later, when the store manager found that I was missing, he went to check the monitoring and scolded me on the spot. I apologized on the spot, and the next day I sent him a WeChat to admit my mistake.
Work has responsibilities, and there are things to communicate. This kind of behavior is not allowed at work.
We sometimes go out to play by bus after work at 7: 11 or 8: 11 in the morning. We have all been to the Qifeng Mountain and Shuilian Mountain. I remember the time we went to Shuilian Mountain. After work at 7: 11 or 8: 11 in the morning, we went there by bus for more than an hour without breakfast. Then we went back to the dormitory at 3: 11 or 4: 11 in the afternoon without eating, and went straight to bed. At 11: 11 in the evening.
I was particularly impressed because I was really hungry that time.
where cognition and attention are, the focus will be there. At that time, I had been to many Internet cafes in the four major districts of Dongguan.
In mid-January, 2116, the Chinese New Year was coming. When the manager had breakfast in the morning, he called us all together and gently told us that the store was open for business during the Chinese New Year, so everyone went to work normally. If we had to go home for the Chinese New Year, we had to leave our jobs.
At that time, it was more important for me to go home for the New Year, so I had to leave my job after January.
Generally speaking, this job lasted for three months, from October 2, 2115 to the end of October 2116.
ten days ago, I found that it had closed down. I checked it online. It turned out that the contract expired in the middle of 2121 last year and I moved to a place not far away, which was also very high-end, but the environment and pattern were different from here, so the past became the past.
I will always remember every step I have taken, and it is because of these that I am who I am today.
