My proud work history

I'm mentally healthy and fresh, but physically drained.

The temp job at NUS is quite easy, to be honest, compared to my previous F&B service jobs. But the hours are long and the space I can move around in is quite limited. There're always flocks of people coming towards our area and sometimes it's hard to capture them. But you know what--- I like this job and the people I work with.

Don't laugh... YJ will know that I don't have a very good relationship with all my previous employers/ managers except Coca. I've had arguements and disputes with all of my past managers/colleagues. Wait---before you start thinking that I'm a spolit brat and a troublemaker--- I'M NOT, and I can prove my case.

Case 1: John Little, May/June 2000. They miscalculated the OT hours for the temp staff and most of us got 'cheated' of pver $100. I went down to the headquarters at Specialist Centre and had a 'discussion' with the HR manager, 3 times. Finally got the money.

Case 2: At Cold Storage, Nov/Dec 2000. They left out my timesheet and simply can't be bothered to pay attention to my deserved pay. I went in to have a talk with the branch manager with ZX. Blah Blah. Quit the job.

Case 3: Hisatomo Family Restaurant, May/June 2001. There was a senior staff, but not in the mgt/captain rank, who always push the work to other colleagues. I got so tired and sick of her just standing there and acting like she's the boss and confronted her. We had an arguement, in front of customers. I quit a week later and went on a cruise holiday.

Case 4: SMRT, June 2005. Pls refer to my earlier post.

I know, I know. My history of holiday jobs (and the troubles) is OUTSTANDING. And I'm proud of them. Like what I've mentioned before, I don't regret any of the things I've done in terms of gaining my rights and alterating the wrongs I think shouldn't happen.

Will try to write more next time... I have to start work at 9 everyday this week and I reach home about 11 p.m. That leave me about 6 hours of sleep. I need them so bad!!! But, I always say this--- I can do a lot of things for MONEY. Forcing myself out of bed each day to work is one of them. Sometimes I myself will think that it's amazing I can manage to do some things I never thought I would.
