Feelings...deep down within...

Working = YUCKS!

A very bad day at work today. The first time I ever dreaded so much about working. I was tired to begin with, since I could not sleep the night before and therefore I was not physically rested enough to do a Saturday's rush on waitressing, washing and running.

5 pounds an hour...wow!! Thinking about it now, its not so wow. My job:
1) Waitressing: Includes taking orders from customers, getting their food and drinks, and clearing tables after them.
2) Cleaning: Includes cleaning the dishes, sweeping and moping th shop, cleaning the ovens, cleaning the baking mats(which i hate most) and hoovering the carpet in the basement.(for those of you who dont know what hoover is, its actually vacuming)
3) Baking: Includes putting pasties into the oven, getting them out when they're ready, and glazing them.
4) Gettin stock: Includes running up and down to the basement to get pasties from the freezer (freezer is a walk in freezer at -18 degrees celcius, and all I have is just a normal coat to put on. Sometimes, getting stock can take up to half an hour), getting bottles of drinks up from the basement. Even though there is a dumb-waiter, its a chore to use it, and I still have to carry heavy stuff around!

So, I'm not just a waitress huh...multi-tasking job. Thanks to my bosses who cant afford more staff. Oh...and my 6 hour shift only allows a 15 min break for lunch. Sometimes, not even lunch time because thats when the shop is most busy. So if I dont have time to eat my breakfast...drink some coffee to lose my appetite!

With all these complaining, why am I still there!! Get a new job laaa!!
Work is just 15 mins away from where I live, and I really cant be bothered to look for a job now, only 3-4 more months of working, and I'll be going home for summer. Whats the point of changing jobs now!?

Then...stop working laa!!
No work = no money.

Money is not everything laaaa!!!
Yea, but no money = no shopping = no fun. Then what am i suppose to do with my time?? No need to go out with friends?? How can I buy luxury items???

Okay, just to clarify somethings, I'm not super poor that I have to work...AND my parents, are not so stingy that they dont give me money. In fact, they always ask me whether I have enough. BUT i dont feel nice spending their money on stuff for me, I feel bad. So...the only reason to have fun and not feel bad...is to work!!

Bottom line is...I still want to work. And yes, now its because of the money.
