Annoyingly angry...

So today I went to work as usual...whilst minding my own business, the manager comes up to me and asks if I'm up for a task. A task that requires me to drive approximately 103 miles from work to another one of our branches in Kilmarnock. Without hesitation, I agreed...I took over a Seat Ibiza Toca, metallic blue...it was a good car to drive. It doesn't do sporty but still not bad on the motorway...think i must of averaged about 50 miles to the gallon.

Upon arrival, I was given a Citroen Dispatch Van to return to my original branch where one of my colleagues was expecting to sell it. So, in it I went, drove it a fuelling station, to then proceed to the closest Burger King! :)

(even i need to eat, and it took a little over one and a half hours to go one way!)

Shortly upon returning to my work with the van in perfect working order...the customer bought it! Kinda makes me feel good to know my efforts wasn't wasted and the buyer liked it that much!

Once home, i was pretty hungry again...i remembered i had packed lunch into my work case but forgotten about it so i was heating it up. While my "lunch" was doing its thing in the microwave I thought I'll inform my folks of how my working day was...

What a mistake...

All they were saying was, why couldn't I have lunch at work? What kind of work doesn't allow employees to have lunch? Don't you think you're been taken advantage off? Why don't you quit since you're being taken advantage of? Remember your brother when he was at his previous company and he only had 30mins for lunch, that was bad enough!

I couldn't get in a word...it was so annoying that I literally passed the point of TRYING to explain after they mentioned my brother...yet again I am being compared to him. He who is the one the whole family thinks can do no wrong. Him him him him him...

Let me at least explain it to you, you who do not know me, you who probably don't care much...I agreed to the task my manager proposed to me. Why? None of my other colleagues were willing, so I want to do something that'll make me stand out a bit.

I knew there won't be a set lunch time whilst on the road. I already made a bit of time for that when returning!

Been taken advantage of? Come on, if they weren't paying me then that would be a true statement. In the contract, it states that employees must be flexible! I was taken on as a Salesman, then sales went through the roof and I was asked to valet cars because there was a staff shortage on valetors, i also enjoy driving around! While out the office, i still get paid!

I will say my pay isn't high but I am will to do the tasks which many refuse to do! In theory that should earn me some points for consideration when it comes to pay raise.

Who starts a job and then get paid a ton of cash? Personally, I know nobody like that...but there probably is someone out there that did that.
Sorry, deviated there, point being, I haven't been there for long, to the manager and the CEO why should I be given more? I would love them to give me extra money for trips like this but it doesn't work like that. I need to do more, to prove to them that I am WORTH what they're giving me and hopefully more in future.

Its hypocritical that my folks always said, you must start at the bottom and work your way up...your wages will start low and go up as you progress...

That's EXACTLY what I'm doing now! But it's still wrong. Thanks folks, thanks for letting me know AGAIN that i cannot compare to No. 2 and that I shame the family because I'm a car washer in your eyes. Thanks for all the shit emotional trauma you put me through and wonder why i don't talk to you both!

Which day...????

I am sounding more like a "quiter" with each passing hour! My current employer needed to take his "lil princesses" back to China for "Ching Ming" and basically left me working for 2 weeks straight WITHOUT informing me of the following: - Time off during his absence? - Time off at all when he comes back? - Extra pay? Here I am after two days of him buggering off learning this, I WILL be working 2 weeks straight without a day off...there has been no discussion of reimbursing my days off that I should of had...and worse of all, DEFINITELY no mention of paying me extra for the EXTRA days off! I have been working my hands raw and body aches yet things seems to never end! 2nd day, 12 more to go......no, that is INCORRECT!!! My last day of was 26th March...its now the 9th...its my 14th consecutive day of working and I am starting to lose my mind! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRAY BACK YOU BUM HOLE!!!!! 7 more days till my "theo...

Just ranting!

WHO THE HELL GAVE THAT WOMAN THE "BIRTH RIGHT" TO HAVE ME TAXI HER AROUND AND EXPECT ME TO JUST AGREE?!?!?! SCREW YOU TO HELL AND TO THE NEW AREA WHERE THEY ARE MAKING IT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU YOU STUPID VA***A COW!!!! OK that had to come out, here's the story, throughout this week so far, my employer's wife who is looking after the work place in his absence has used a Chinese curse word on me several times. This curse word itself curses you to basically trip over and bust your face. It sounds lame translated into English but if you are Chinese and know which word I am referring to, then you know my anger, I can take it as a joke every once in a while but when you use that consistently,  you are testing my patients on how long I can withhold from punching that face of yours! So, its 12:46am now in UK, just over 2 hours ago, I was finishing up at work, Lisa (Boss' wife) comes strolling along and says "Hakuren, you busy tomorrow morning? I need a life up t...

Unusual dream...Gummy Bear Girl...

Fri 28th December 2012 Last night I had a very odd but pleasant dream. In the dream, my family (consisting of my parents, my 3 brothers and myself) was taking a friend family (parents and two boys) to the airport to send them off home. The airport was "Edinburgh Airport" but the outside surrounding and the entrance was exactly the same as Southampton Airport, England!!! Continuing on...as I entered the check-in area to look for the check-in counters for our "friend family" I became VERY confused, the inside of the airport was divided into two huge areas. The area that I entered was a lounge area with a live band doing covers of the latest chart music...they had a brass and other wind instrument band, one drummer and his drums, 2 acoustic guitar players, one cello player and one lead singer who had a very firm but gentle voice...I had a quick walk round this area to find out...ok maybe we don't check in here, so I met up with my youngest brother, Bruno at the...
