money and time

I quitted my job today, the warehousing job. It is really tough work, and need to OT nearly everyday till 10pm, practically without any OT pay. Thats just lousy. So I made the clever choice of quitting before I psycho-ed myself it is quite a good job afterall.

Because I am such a competent, smart and handsome manual labourer, my boss couldnt bear to let me go. He laid on the ground and grabbed my legs refusing to let me leave. But I kicked him aside, and firmly told him that my talents shouldnt be wasted in such a place. So they held a farewell dinner in my honor which lasted over 2 days, to bid this temp worker who has been with them for the past 4days adieu.

Of course that was all bullshit. But it is really true that I quitted the stupid job. Worked my ass off to get only $280. I rather do the office work for 5days which got me $250.

But why am I working in the first place? To earn more money so I can buy stuff? or for savings? Not exactly. This is for daily expenses. My family is in this financial state now that my dad is roughly not earning any money at all. My sis is earning, but she just started working, so her pay is damn low, and she practically needs to support the whole family with her earnings.

So I needed to get some money, to use or to save whatever. But besides that, a man really need to have some spare cash by him. Lets be honest here: men of my age needs to jio pretty gals out for dates, dinner etc. And you really cant do that without any money, and I certainly could not ask my parents for money to date gals when we are already so poor. So I got to earn some myself to justify my expenditure.

Another problem is that given our financial status, it is highly unlikely that you can find another family in NUS who is very much worse off than us. So the probability of me finding a girlfriend who is much richer than me is near astronomical. Lets not say if there is any particular rich gal I am targetting at the moment; lets just put it this way: all eligible and non-eligible gals around me are all very much richer.

So they got to really not mind going out with a poor guy. Having the reputation for being poor is one thing, going out with someone who cant afford to treat you every now and then, who cant afford to go to posh places even infrequently, or cant even buy you too many roses, thats quite a serious negative point.

Thats why I had to earn a bit of spare cash: to at least be able to take the girl i like out for dates.

And now, I quitted my job. Even though it is bringing in a bit of cash, it really is bad paying; whats more, my back doesnt allow me to carry too heavy stuff, having slipped disc and all. So its better for me to quit, and quitting that mon-sat-everyday-OT-till10pm job also meant I can have time to actually date gals. lol.
