Its has been two weeks since I moved to Edinburgh, life here is more or less like how I am accustomed to, work hard and rest. Don't have much free time for myself...do I miss free time? Of course I do but only a little. I do miss sleeping in a bit later, time to read, training and being a bit more social with others! I suppose what is most important at the moment is to build up my financial foundation again and continue on with my plan of buying apartments/flats for renting out. That way, I can afford to work less and still have decent income coming in!
At work, there are 4 distinct groups;
The Heads: The owners, although I am related to them I do take my duties seriously and don't slack. So far, they've been like my third set of parents and are quite "lax" with me.
The Full Time Waiting Staff: Gordon, Peter and Myself (Although I don't "belong" to this group), I feel that these guys (EXCLUDING MYSELF) try to do only what is needed...what do I mean? OK, take today's example. This week I am on shift 1, this means I go in at 10:30 - 14:30. At 14:30 I get to take 2hrs off as a break then I come back on duty at 16:30 until 23:00. 14:30 came and I was still at work, one of the part time asks, "Hakuren aren't you suppose to be on break?". "Yup but it's still busy so I'll help out." I replied. (For the sake of being polite, I'll leave out who said the following) "Hakuren does know he is on break but he has good work ethics! There is so much to do and we'll make it up for him"..."of course you can just leave the things and go"...
If you already know I have good work ethics, there isn't a need for the cheeky dig at me. I try not to leave things half done. If it is busy and I am on break...I stay behind from my own free will to help out. I don't get extra money nor points. Just Hakuren being Hakuren.
The Part Time Waiting Staff: Kai, Shirley, Jessica, Bowen, Rita, Sue and Wah, these guys are the Bee's Knees! I feel more akin to these guys as they get shit done! FULL STOP.
The Kitchen: Everyone that is in the Kitchen! The most honest bunch there is! Their banter can be crude but it is amusing, one of them (Wai) informed me that on my day off last week...there was talk about someone being "in your face"...someone in the Waiting Staff "could" of been talking about me BUT it is not proven. Wai was trying to say to me, due to the number of people working here, things could become complex so watch out.
Regardless of what anyone thinks or tries on me...THIS is how I am interrupting it...EDINBURGH is testing me, to see what I am made of. If I am to take up a position and make something of myself here then I must show them that I can take ANY shit they decide to throw at me. I will tire, I will get pissed off, I will be your friend, I will be your worst nightmare, I can be the biggest douche bag but I will always smile..for until "That Day" comes...I shall simmer...you will learn that Hakuren is made of some tough shit that won't be worn down by the likes of you.
