FIRST DAY ON THE JOB TURNS NIGHTMARE

Good morning hivers and happy Thursday it been a while since I had posted here been Busy with #zealy trying to meet my goal which I believe am going to; oh yeah that reminds me during this week when going through an early quest I remembered a interesting scene which happened to me during when i was working at a filling station I send a thread about it but didn't write a post and which am going to do right now and I might as well send the thread again

It was officially my first time working in a filling station I seem very happy about the fact I will be able to have experience working in a filling station but who knew it going to be my worst nightmare ever, I sent an applicant about me to a filling station around the community where I used to stay it was a new one at that I have been waiting for the grand opening of that filling station, I was been called for an interview which I went, was asked series of question I replied to all and before you knew it I was employed as a fuel attendant, we were being taught how to sale fuel and also that reminds me there were set of people along also like for example the Security was a new one who just started also and also new staff, the role of manager was occupied, even supervisor, and CSO, so basically everyone was new to the system

At during our training we had to come as early as 5:00am to open up the station there is always a security guard guarding the station in the morning and also in the night so basically two different security guard and each of them are been given a weapon to hold for safety reason to ensure thief not to come and rob the station, I always try my best to come early reason why is that my house from the station is about some kilometers I had to entered bus and I wouldn't want to do anything to be sacked at my new working places so I always try to do my best in resuming early; I do have an alarm waking me up exactly 4:00am in the morning so I had to put my shit together and leave the house 4:30 to be able to arrive at work 5:00am on time but sometimes I do reach work around 5:10am I wouldn't want to avoid been scolded by anybody on my new work place..

It get to the fact about teaching us the staff to come and open station I was wondering our duty is to come sell fuel but not to open station so meanwhile we need to come much more earlier and am the only one who do come first to work so I know theoretically I will be handed down the key to open station and it supposed to be the work of supervisor but recently the supervisor change location that was why they made that announcement was made, I was been called out and was told I will be the one opening the station as from now on it make me happy but I didn't show it out I was glad I got a role which I personally will do; I went home that day change my alarm around 3:00 am meanwhile I will need to sleep early since it my first day at work don't want to mess it up that fateful day I left for work I quickly left home around 3:45am hoping to reach work earlier I reached work around 4:00am I noticed the gate is not yet opened I looked left and right I couldn't see anybody I entered the gate and find my way to look for the security guard i found him sleeping with his Gun in his hand I decided to move closer and wake him up little did I know it a dangerous stuff to do I move closer to him as I raised out my hand to tap him on his leg the next thing that happens was not funny at all the moment I did that I heard gun shot from the same security guard I was trying to wake immediately I fell to the ground and begging for my life.
It kind of funny right let me explain in details as soon I woke him up he enter the act of vigilance thinking it was a thief and shot his gun thank God it was in the air not the gun facing me if not I would have lose my head that morning before he could regain his consciousness I quickly laid on the floor and said please don't shoot am not a thief and start begging for my life

It scared the hell out of me at the sound of the gunshot and I learnt several lessons after that foolish act of mine

• A security guard been armed and sleeping on duty don't approach him and say u want to wake him up you mind end up dead it will be seen as you been a thief and act of defence.

• Best way to wake him up is shout is name from Afar do not approach him close range to shout is name to wake him up

It was daybreak I was still shocked over the issue of me loosing my head the rest of the staff arrived and saw me they asked what happen to me, I explained to them and said this what happened even though the security guard had left that day they laughed at me and said next time you are supposed to wait outside for him to open the gate not me entering to open the gate I said how would I know some make Gesture of laughter while some compliment me saying it is okay it a lesson learned next time.
