Split road...

As I am writing this my mind is being scrambled...I have been in Edinburgh now for nearly two years after leaving my home town. Today my folks came to the city and visited me at work and had a small discussion with me...

It turns out that the tenants that was renting my folks restaurant  can no longer run the business and is packing it in, so my folks wants to know if I'd be interested in going back...

Problem is this...I am now very much settled in the capital city...I cannot just abandon my position here at my current work (which is also family business)...yet I cannot turn my back on my parents...

If I remain, I shall continue to enjoy what the city can offer and probably be quite stable career wise and financially in about 5 years.

If I choose to go back...there is ONE HELL of a mess that must be cleaned up after those tenants...let alone having the gas and electricity lines checked for faults...carpets may need to be ripped out and relayed (Honestly...cleaning the darn thing won't get it back to what it was)...and it will pretty much stump my financial capabilities for a few years...and the town is a dump with no real economical power to even sustain itself...

Boy oh boy do I have a catch 22 situation...

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...
