Hectic Working Life

Another week of non-stop movies. Watched lesser this week though:

Zzzzz. Falling sick again. I think my working environment really sucks. And although my job is much much much more slack than my previous job(I get to sleep 5 hours everyday~), their pay system is damn sucky. In Toshiba(my ex company), I get to be paid overtime after 8 hours everyday. And if I work on a Saturday, it’s twice my hourly rate. In my current job, you must hit 44 hours per week(that’s a loss of 4 hours OT) and at least 8 hours everyday. Which means, if I work on a weekend without hitting 8 hours, I get my normal pay only. And OT is calculated at hourly basis whereas in my previous job, it's on half an hour basis. Unlike my supervisor though, I get to rest on weekends. He works EVERYDAY. 6am to 9 or 10pm.

If it wasn’t for my financial problems, I would have seriously slacked my way through my semester break. Working life is just so scary. You just keep working and working and working. My Japanese bosses in Toshiba practically have no life. I see them there when I reach work and they are still there when I go home.
I’m not being lazy, but to me, there are things more important than money in life. I would love to pamper my family and give them and luxurious life. But I would rather get a job that pays me ok and allows me to spend quality time with my family. I hope my future partner will be able to share the same thoughts….
