The Job

It is hard to work on a contract basis scheme unlike the fixed monthly salary. But everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

I used to get paid on a daily basis pay, meaning you work you get paid, you dont and you have nothing. Week in and week out i have to do something to earn a living. But for my case, i am still receiving twice a month pay base on my daily work plus extra variable bonuses for every working day on Sunday and public holidays.

With this contract basis payment, i get three times more than what someone who receives fixed monthly salary. Just that, i dont have the privileges such as, annual leave, medical leave, compassionate leave and etc etc leave which other people used to enjoy.

But the problem is, i dont have a life. I work 7 days a week, 30 days a month plus 3 hrs interval to rest, on top of every 6 working hours for 12 hours job everyday and that is what i have to do.

Then came another headache, my 5 years contract is about to end soon and the management is getting another 5 years contract for me to run. The question is, to take or not to take?

I wish i were a doctor, lawyer, teacher, airline pilot, Coffee Fairy, Richard, Sassy, Ladylee or Ghee. Except for poor Princeromp...
