When I'm committed, people don't even appreciate it. But when I really truly honestly can't extend my working hours as I have plans after work, tongues start wagging and sarcasm rears its ugly head.
I mean come on. Look at it this way. Most of the time, I willingly extend my working hours and even work for FREE LABOUR at times due to staff shortage and I never complained even once cuz of the fact that I simply LOVE to work at my working place. Its the environment and the friendly staff, who never fail to make my day and put a smile on my face from the moment I start working to the time I end. Last week, I had absolutely NO life at all.
WHY??
Cuz I was schooling from Monday to Friday and I would always reach home around 7.30 to 8. After a quick shower, I would tackle my numerous amounts of assignments before FINALLY going to bed around 2. And I was working the night shift last weekend due to staff shortage, sacrificing the time which I'm supposed to spend with my family and close pals as a result. Just yesterday, when I extended myself till 6, cuz the night shift staff couldn't make it for work, and I had to wait for a replacement to come, after which I dashed off to bowl with Nizam at E-Hub, tongues are already wagging away. Saying that I can't extend myself till full shift simply cuz I wanted to go BOWLING. Its like they are trying to say that I haven't got my priorities right.
I barely have time for myself nowadays, let alone my younger brother, my bros and my close friends and family cuz of the fact that I'm laden with school, school work and work round the clock. I haven't spend time with my OWN younger brother for almost a month now ever since school started. So just that 1 time, when I couldn't extend cuz I just wanted to de-stress, relax and enjoy myself for once, please understand.
I love working at my working place tremendously. I love my colleagues cuz they are a great bunch of peeps to hang out and have fun with. I just need to break away from my daily routine every once in a while to de-stress from school so please understand.
P.S: I hope you understand.
