Cognito Ergo Sum
4th of June is about the time I got about 700 bucks for the past month's labour, working about 37 hours or so a week at that oh-so-good price of 5 dollars an hour.
But I suppose I must be thankful I am a cashier, which gets the highest pay when compared to grocery and fresh food departments.
Lots of newsworthy items in the news yet I take no interest in them. Pedra Branca got my attention but anything with Chee in it or MM or PM or Lee (big or small) just doesn't hit a chord. Not because the opposition sucks big time thanks to this Chee guy (I don't believe this, not one bit), but more so because you know the outcome before the verdict. JBJ was right, a judge can't be impartial if she was involved.
But enough of that, I'm more caught up with politics at my side.
Have I not worked hard enough to have a share in the award? Surely I did something to save plastic bags even if I don't really know about the "golden chef" thing that much. Best of all, after years working there, none of them have the guts to tell an amateur of 3 months that he's not invited. Trying to keep it secret from me is really irritating. What incentive do I have to work harder?
When I leave I can say I held my end of the bargain, and they did theirs, but I'll never ever work for them again. They can go train whichever new fella, since they obviously showed me I don't matter.
So just what incentive do I have to work harder? My personal ethical code. "Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might" Bet I misquoted that, but the meaning's there. I'll work harder, not longer which implies dropping everything at 1pm if I have to. Beyond my contractual hours, they can go find somebody else and they will.
Somebody asked me why i would go to the lengths of pushing goods into the store fervently even if I don't get appreciation. I just smiled. and never said a word.
Cognito ergo sum. I think therefore I am. I don't do some extra duties for that appreciation. I do because I do my best. I do sometimes because some of them are my friends. I do it because a good job doesn't require appreciation. I do it because I wanted to and because I started it. I just likened it to God giving me salvation for nothing much at all. Maybe some things are meant to be done in such a way.
My charm is not a talisman or thing but my biblical principles. Whenever I apply them, my job becomes magnificent. When I cut corners, it becomes mediocre. Because I think, I make my choice, therefore resulting in who I am. And I rejoice in that.
Now, I'm worried for army. How am I to keep my principles if I don't want to be a saikang or preventing myself from being injured? If my principles were even breached in this 3 months what about 2 years? 730 days is a long time. 730 attacks on my conscience.
I can't afford to lose, I hope I can be who I am, what i am on 12th june 2010. I suppose I'll find that out next week. Cheers.
