Thoughts

Suddenly I remembered about things...that I wouldn't want to remember... that I wouldn't want to say to people about...

Call me a wimp if you want, but when something unfavourable happens in my vicinity...

I never confront people to discuss about the frustrations that I have. Neither do I express my disapointments directly.

I just... run away.

I started working at McDonald's when I was Secondary 2. I was so desperate to get the job, that I often came to ask the manager of the store on whether I clinched the job.

Even with a measly pay of $3.00/hr, I was still satisfied with what I had.

But... as time passes, Expectations get higher. I got quite a few friends of mine to work there, and it was a great time. However, one of my friends who was the same age as me... got promoted really fast. That got to me, and I started wondering why my pay was so disapointing, so little. Then my friend was promoted to floor manager, with a hourly pay of $6.00. I was extremely envious of him. My morale got really low.

Then my "godfather", and my "godmother", my store manager, and assistant store manager went off in search of greener pastures.

Along came a new manager, Mr I. I can't remember how his character was, but working with him was very... taxing... it was basically a lose-lose situation for the both of us. Both of us weren't really on good terms.

On one day, when I have worked for close to three years, and was about to go into poly, I got tired of it all.

I didn't show up for work as scheduled on the next weekend. My managers kept calling me, but I refused to hear from them, and used my mother as a front to reject their calls.

In the end, they finally gave up. Ever since, it's been at least 4 years that I stopped visiting the restaurant.

One of my colleagues in camp worked in McDonald's too. Apparently he got to know about my "godfather" too. Within two years, he got to become a floor manager, with his ways of tongue-lashing at other McDonald's Crew who worked below his standard..

He bragged about his career in Mac. I followed along too.

Bragged about being a manager and all that.

I was just too conceited to say that I was just a normal crew like everyone else.

Gah.... I guess I'll write about this another day...

Wonder why I'm writing this now...
