A Tiring And Tough Day Today I have a tiring and really tough day. I took a part-time job about questionnaire interviewing and attitude measurement for a food company, which has something to do with my major. I hoped to learn some practical things through this. However, In contrast with my expectation, our work went quite wrong and difficult. My agreement with the supervisor was to complete 30 pieces in one day. But the clients demanded 50 today, adding my pressure while the pay remained unchanged. Still I took the task, despite my lacking experience. My partner, a middle-aged woman (or in a fashionable way, "a Chinese dama" , I call her aunt Guo ), and I should have asked 50 people very carefully and write down their answers. Aunt Guo's job was to invite interviewees and mine was to interview them. But there were too many questions on one questionnaire paper ( about 50 questions including seven or eight open questions! @﹏@ ), and we didn't have enough time and energy to finish it. My workmate, Aunt Guo (she's very experienced and familiar with the work) , was very unwilling to do this, complaining about the difficulty and the poor reward. She didn't want to waste time asking so many things one by one. So she just asked the interviewees' names and phone numbers and recorded some other questions, leaving most of the questions to me to finish. And I filled in 41 papers! Pretending I were the "41 people" with 41 names, ages, jobs and tastes for food! And I had been doing this silly and meaningless thing for almost 6 hours, sitting in a corner in a restaurant, killing my brain. Aunt Guo left at 2 pm. I left at about 5 pm, then took a bus back to the supervisor's company. The traffic was terrible, and the bus is horribly crowded (poor traffic for China cities! ). I really don't appreciate this work now. I ate too many crisps that I even felt sick. These crisps were supposed to be given to the interviewees to taste. Unfortunately, I have to go on with it for one more day tomorrow!
