They worked as farmers and weaver. One day on Tuesday Wage, when Nyai Bagelen was waving, her children were playing beside her. She was surprised that she was breastfeeding a calf.

BARCODE

3 years ago, I worked at DRW Skincare in Purworejo. I worked as an administration staff. And I had a friend, her name was Tika, she worked in the shipping department. She asked me to stick barcodes in the package that will be sent. When I stuck the package, Tika told about her holiday in the beach with her friend. Then, I finished to stick the package. It was around 15 minutes later postman came to put the package.

2 days later, someone call Tika that there was a discrepancy between barcode and the address. Then, she blamed me. I tried to call the postman and said to return the package. But, it was useless. It made me scared. Finally, I asked to dr. Wahyu who was the owner of DRW Skincare about the problem and he said that I have to call the customer to clarify about the problem. Then I searched the number phone and I called the customer. When I called , I heard that a woman answered my call. I was afraid that she angry with me. But, she was very kind and she would return the package.

The next day, she called me and said that she have returned the package to me. I was very grateful and a few days later her order arrived.
