Miserable : very unhappy, full of misery.
Today was miserable. Okay well, maybe the bad luck has already started since last night. It was just that I was too ignorant to notice it. Anyhow, ya know sometimes, if a day is meant to be miserable, nothing can ever change its fate then. So I guess this is gonna be a very long post since I have so many things which I have to write down or I'll implode soon. And if you think you don't have the time to read it, then don't. Cause its never good to not finish what you have started, right?
It all started last night when I was on the way back from work. My parents were arguing bout how I was gonna go to work the next day since my dad had to work in the morning while my mum needed to go to church at the same time, which in turn means that there will be no car left for me to go to work. The argument lasted throughout the journey home until they finally decided that I would have to go to the early morning service and that an uncle would fetch me to church so that solved the transport problem.
This morning, I woke up with the worst mood ever. I was in no mood to go to church at all (oh Lord, pardon me >< ) I then told my mum if it was okay for me to not go to church (yes, I know this is bad and I couldn't believe I said it too ;s ) And of course she said no to which i replied with "I don't wanna go to work then." In the end? I went to church as usual but left right after the sermon and went straight to work after dropping by at home cause I left my phone at home, forgotten to wash my pants, dry my apron and iron my shirt in the morning.
Anyhow, I went to work with a cheerful heart cause I really do enjoy my job. But everything turned sour when my manager asked me to check my punch card cause he was counting our salaries. At that very moment only I realised all this while what I have been doing : arriving early, start work earlier than others, take short break etc went to vain cause they have another system of counting it. Which, in other words, no matter how early i arrive and start working, they will still count from 9.30a.m. cause that's the official working time. With this system, the extra hours that I worked were not paid at all. I was like WTH. I felt like I had been cheated cause no one has ever mentioned this to me before. (It then got me thinking maybe I shouldn't have rejected so many other job offers and accepted this one) After much consideration I finally told my manager that I wanna resign at the end of this month. Cause honestly, I need money. To me I think I'm being underpaid for all the time and efforts I had put into this job and i don't think I wanna work for free. I need a job which pays for what I give.
But well, that's like just another half a month to go so I said to myself I'll put in full effort this time. Work harder and improve myself to be a better barista. But things don't always go the way you want it, don't they? Cause right after that I was scolded for didn't follow the SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) in making hot chocolate. The SOP stated 150ml but I did 200ml (as I was taught by one of the seniors, which I don't even remember who cause I had like 5 seniors who were kind enough to teach me.) Well seriously, if you scold me for my mistake then yes I'll accept it humbly cause its my fault. But this time its not. I was taught to do that way and now I'm being shouted at for something which I don't even know is wrong. And guess what? I cried. Silly huh? I bet you must be thinking bout how immature I am, can't even take a bit of scoldings then how am I gonna work the next time? These were the questions which kept popping up in my head too but the tears just kept flowing down no matter how many times I told myself to not cry. Sighs. I'm just plain useless. Make me strong Lord, make me tough. I wanna grow strong to protect my family one day as I am the eldest.After much crying and sobbing and kind advice and funny jokes from Abang Faiz and Syahmie, I finally broke into laughter and appologized to my manager for my mistake. Cause after all, who am I to blame? It WAS my mistake.
An hour after that, I got a call from my mum which made me frowned. She complained bout my dad ignoring the fact that I was not allowed to take a break after 8 (My manager said so) and went to shower only at 7.52p.m. I frowned (after all the incidents which happened earlier) and told her, quite rudely, to just show up earlier. They did showed up of course, at around 8.12p.m. Lucky my manager still allowed me to have dinner with them but when I was about to punch out, my colleague informed me that I was not to dine in unless I change. (into normaly clothes instead of my uniforms) I was like WHAT? NO ONE MENTIONED THAT TO ME BEFORE! I then ran to my Assistant manager and he was kind enough to just ask me to remove my cap and tags. *sigh in relief*
After the meal, I went back to work and there were like mountains of glasses awaiting for me to wash them. (Adil was kind enough to help me out at barista when I was having dinner with family but not kind enough to wash those glasses for me I guess.) I sighed, and washed all before I started cleaning up the mess Adil has left me with. He's a nice guy, really. He is always the one who lend me a hand when I need one. But I don't really like him handling my bar cause he always leave it dirty before handling it back to me. By the time I was done, my vision has blurred, probably cause of the cring earlier which made my eyes dry. I couldn't see clearly and my eyes ached but I couldn't do anything as it was near closing time so I needed to count the stock first.
As I was doing so with my super tired eyes, my dad showed up out of nowhere and told me that they never got the 10% discount as they were suppose to (as I am the worker). I then checked the receipt thinking maybe my dad has mistaken it but he was right. So I went to the Assistant Manager and asked him about it but he said it wasn't him who cashed in just now. Turned out it was Farah who did it but she didn't know it was my bill. I then talked to my GM about it but even he also couldn't do anything bout it. My dad then was questioning me and putting the blame on me before I got the second round of it from my mum when I got into the car.
Then as I was about done cleaning the bar only i remembered today is Sunday (We have to clean the coffee machine with Cafiza every Sunday and Wednesday.) and of course, that meant I have to rewash the coffee machine, with Cafiza this time. I felt like yelling and jumping and boxing and hitting and crying and laughing and kicking and rolling and cursing and bla bla bla. But I did none, of course. Cause my hero Adil came into help. (He asked me to call him hero for helping me out LOL) He helped me wash the coffee machine as i mopped the floor and washed the clothes. In return? I have to help him punch card as he left earlier hah. That was fair, i suppose.
And now I am home. But bad luck still doesn't end. My mum sickness came back again.
GREAT. What a day huh? Let's pray for a better one tomorrow? Wish me luck (:
