taking us for granted

PISSED

I'm back if you've been thinking that I've been MIA-ing. Have been working at my cousin's little stall selling bread, cakes, tarts and waffles. Working hours are really shitty: 9.30am-10pm on some days while others are like 12pm-10pm..

Nature of the work:
1. Greet customers politely
2. Smile the whole day long
3. Promote the cakes and tarts like the irritating promoters that i hate at shopping centres
4. Make waffles for super long queues at times and i tend to forget to collect payment when I get really busy and stressed by the many orders.
5. Hardly get to rest my legs!!
6. The manual cash register really gets me scared of giving change to customers cos i'm really not good with quick mental sums.
7. Get to play with babies and little kids =)
8. Irregular meals hours cos the stupid crowd really makes u feel like not eating

The feeling of being exploited isn't really fantastic at all. She has been getting dad and i down to the stall everyday that we don't seem to have a life at all! I haven been having meals at home for the past 1 week an always ended up having to record my TV shows. I thought dad and i could spend some time with sis next week cos she's on leave already but looks like I'll be "mobilised". WTF!

Seriously, if u need someone to look after ur biz for u, pls get someone permanent and someone more directly related. Call me selfish if you want but i really dun agree with this arrangement. Our lives do not belong to you and we have better things to do!!! Why did you have to go thru aunt to get dad to help u? or did aunt approach dad out of her own accord?

I will spin a whole series of white lies the coming days and i noe i can get away with it. It's dad that wo bu fang xin. Knowing his character, he'll definitely go down to help even when i'm not going. I don't want him to work so hard and it just makes me feel that he's being made use of simply because he's not working anymore. I want him to enjoy the remaining days to 1 June to prepare the necessaries for the wedding.

And so I was complaining to dad and mum just now and i was so angry that tears started flowing and my voice quivered. yes, that is how pissed I was. Dad tried to reason with me but i just cant think from his perspective. dad says the reason why cousin wanted us to help was that she trusted us enuff. I dun need cousin to trust me. I just want to enjoy my holidays. Yes, I'm selfish. I'm self-centred.

the selfish girl,
