Tomorrow's like the last day of school. I don't know whether to be happy or not. Seriously.
See, to me, work and school is the same thing. I don't mind work, I don't mind school. They're equally good and equally bad.
But you see. It makes me very exhausted when I have to juggle the both of them. I feel like letting something slip sometimes. I can't. I realised that should I let either one slip, I would be in trouble.
Yes of course. When you view it long term, letting work slip should not be a problem. I know it's not really big. I just have to cut down on spendings and let the car go in due course. I love that car so. There are reasons behind it other than my passion with cars.
So when I see my Dad, working the whole week, slogging the exact same hours as me, and maybe even more. I don't see why he can do it and why I can't. His work is, afterall, tougher. It's all menial labour. Nobody wants to take up this job. He's hiring. He can't find anyone.
This is one dirty job. Who will? And who will have the capabilities? If you want to hire an idiot you might as well do it yourself. Save time. If he messes up the stuff, you have to throw the goods away and re-do it. But still paying him. Or someone who knows how to sell, knows Malay, Chinese, Hokkien & dialects and English moderately well enough. If he keeps asking you, why not just do it yourself?
If I don't help my own Dad, who will?
This is the reason why I persevere. However, this is giving me some problems. My social life. Why my social life is mostly scoring 0s. I can attribute it to that.
Why even bother to take time and socialise when you don't even have time to sleep. I think only a couple of people know this.
I can't be bothered to explain sometimes. And so what if they knew? Knowing doesn't equate to understanding. And it would take a long time to make someone understand. The effort could be saved and channelled into rest.
You know how I survive this? If my Dad can do it, why can't I?
