Morning of the killer zombies

After a 2 day stint at station L, I was given the chance to work at station B. And they are completely 2 worlds apart! The difference is that B is the most populous town in the country, and thus there are 5 times more papers to distribute as compared to L.

Yesterday, my first day, was pretty shocking. I couldnt use the old distributing technique as it was too slow, and for many moments I was surrounded by angry hordes, my hands though flying, still unable to keep up with the numerous outstretched palms waggling around me. To make matters worse, some people wanted multiple copies, and it slowed me down more. It was alot like those zombie movies, where everyone is trying to grab a piece of you.

Luckily my partner, yl, was alot more experienced and showed me the right way. Lao jiao ppl are definitely the ones to follow.

Today was the same as yesterday, but halfway through, this old man came up to me and told me to only give 1 copy to 1 person. What the? Did retirement give him too much time, that he had to share his life experiences and lecture me? I wanted to heck him but seeing that he didnt go away, I decided to play it safe and do what he did. True enough, he was here to supervise us and I let out a huge inward sigh of relief. Nearly killed myself again...
