Working Man

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 by GB

They say you realise the value of the money when you start earning it, when you start working for it. I haven't yet entered the world of big money or big job yet, but the rule still applies to even a part-time job.

Working at the Goodyear Dining Centre, I realised how much pain it is to work in a "hospitality - hotel" kinda business. The pressure I undergo in the mere 4 hours of my job is an eye-opener to me. Constantly catering to the customers (here students) making sure everything's clean and eatable, refilling pans, getting those dishes... trying to find where they are and then alerting the cooks whenever I run out of them... phew!! It's a tiresome job. But people are doing it, without a complaint and they are working more than 4 hours!!

It's not that they are strong or I am weak, but its the attitude that you carry to the work. Today I felt that if I keep cribbing about the job, I would probably never ever get to be happy in any job that I might end up doing, now or later.

My quest for finding a better or different job is as frustrating as it could get. One thing I couldn't guess was the competition for the most menial of jobs. I should probably stop cribbing about that too since there is going to be no change, whatsoever, in it.

A lot of things are tied up to my job or to my finding a job. And to fulfill them one after another would be a pleasue am looking forward to. But then... it all boils down to.... a

JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
