Irritation...



Ever get one of those days where you wake up refreshed and ready to get on with the day? I felt like that this morning but then I got a call...
"Hey Hakuren, the plumber is here can you pop by?"
“Yup, on my way!” I replied

You see, majority of the Chinese operates under a hierarchy system, when the ones at the top are unavailable, the guys at the bottom looks at me. I am all for helping people but it’s the people themselves who ask for my help that most piss me off!
Allow me to explain; I have been in the restaurant business for about 5 years on end, met many tradesmen, good and bad, fluent Cantonese and English speaker, able to run a simple bar without problem, I am free most days since my position was taken over by some less efficient person and…the one person who EVERYBODY takes a stab at with their smart ass comments.

Mind you, not everyone is rude to me…. Perhaps it is my tendency to manners, when I ask anyone for something or help, I will say “Please & Thank you” at the end and in turn I will owe that someone help for when it is needed. But of the ones who are a rude to me, when they ask me for help, it isn’t asking. They are TELLING me to help them like it is their given right that I, should pull out MY OWN TIME & SOMETIMES MY OWN MONEY to help them. I don’t get anything afterwards, mostly I only want a “thank you” but that is a rare thing to come by, at least from these people…

Be my relatives through blood or people I know, when asking someone for help, you don’t shout down the phone telling me to help. I am more likely to help when you are polite, just like HOW YOU TAUGHT ME TO BE. I really don’t mind helping, in fact I believe it brings me some Karma points, this time, I rant to myself…next time…I “won’t” be in town to help you out…or I will prolong the services you need to get your businesses back into operation.

You have taken my time from sourcing out stock for my new business, put me in a foul mood that none of you care to know the reason for and my irritated state of mind won't ease for a few hours yet...This boy has grown tired and will retaliate, even if it is for something as small as a thank you. I only ever asked for the little things in life. YOU ARE WARNED.

Drained...

It has been over a year and a bit since my last proper break. Yeah sure I get a day off per week but that isn't enough to allow the fatigued body of mine to rest up fully. I'm already a full time short and by this time on Wednesday...I'll be one full time and a part time shorter... Don't get me wrong...i WANT to have a break but the functioning of the business has high priority too. It is one of these horrible situations where one must give up something for the greater good. I can put food on the table, pay my bills on time and purchase whatever I want with relative ease but my body is crying out in pain for rest...resting would be luxurious yet it is an option I do not have for the time being...sometimes I wonder if the plave will run without me for a week... Then again, I strongly believe that a manager is suppose to be someone who creates a system that can run itself smoothly...with OR without the person. I guess I want it to be like that juat now... Fingers cr...

Ballocking from the manager...

It was Sunday 1st September... Work usually starts at 12pm on Sunday but because it was the first day of the new reg plates for cars, everyone came into work early. As my colleagues were very busy with delivering cars to their clients on a tight schedule...I was left to do odds and ends such as greeting customers and taking them out for test drives. A couple came into the showroom and wanted to test drive a Seat Ibiza....my mentor told me to grab the company's trade plates and the keys for the requested car. So off I went to grab both items...I've been here for just over a month and know pretty much where things are or where they should be...however...I not able to find the trade plates... What happened earlier was another colleague of mine had done a test drive with a customer and left the trade plates in that car...long story short, he didn't put the keys back onto the board where they're usually kept, I couldn't find them, my manager gave me a ballocking for n...
