Work starts at 10am and end after 4pm. I did the main clearing of 3 rooms, with very little assistance from the bosses in the minsu except for Fish. Lunch time was short as i need to eat quickly to finish the cleaning and clearing. I am extremely tired and I decided not to go out and have dinner at the minsu. Today's dinner was great, having steamboat dinner during cold weather is simply wonderful!
I think, i truly know what "calm before a storm" means now because the next day was really hectic. I was asked to clean 4 rooms and this time all by myself. No assistance from any of them at all. I could not even take a breather in between too. The more i do, the angrier i felt.
1st - i was not paid for the working holiday, so all these work i did was to sort of pay for my accommodation, the water and electricity used. May i asked, how expensive can those cost?
2nd - My room is not even a proper room, it is just a room in the attic, and every time i enter, i have to bend down. And sometimes if i did not bend enough, i would knock my head, and talking about knocking, i have knocked my head and legs quite a number of times when i was cleaning. Right now, i have a total of 7 bruises! The most number of bruises in a month for my 30plus years of my life. I am really worried, one day i will become stupid because of all the knocks on my head.
3rd - We would share the amount for food, so if i eat with them, it would be recorded and divided by the people who ate together. So if i eat less meat and more vegetables, does that mean that i pay lesser for meat? How are they going to calculate? Like duh....
4th - N this day i work like 7 hours and ended slightly after 5,my lunch was finished in less than 30mins. Thinking back, everyday i work for nearly 6hours, i would be so tired at the end of the day, how to even have the energy and time to explore around?
5th - Something even more power triggered my anger. I went to the rooftop to wash the first round of bed sheets and a little bag of baby clothes for the boss. After lunch, i was told to go back to air the bed sheets and blanket covers as the second round of bedsheets are in the process of washing already. When i go up, what i notice was, the first round of bed sheets and covers are put into a basket, and the bag of baby clothes are already hung to dry!!!??? You know what, why is it that you can dig up your baby's clothes to air, you cannot also at the same time help to air the covers and bedsheets? Not only that, you are the bosses of the minsu, all these belong to you, 难道不能举手之劳吗？ 就是要我做到筋疲力尽吗？
越想越委屈！当我跟管家说，很多东西做，真的很累，我只收到一句话，那就是 “辛苦你了”
I was so pissed i told her, i need to destress and went for a run.
Running temporarily destressed me abit...
I ran to have dinner at Facai, Ah Yang is a very good cook and i enjoyed the dinner alot.
When i told Mskmouse before dinner what happened to me, i broke down in front of her. This is not what i expect my working holiday to be. Why must i endure all these shit? It is not that i cannot pay for my accommodation elsewhere but this is like making use of me for free labour. Mskmouse told me to talk to the bosses and leave if there is no compromising on their side. Her boss, who asked me about how everything was trigger my tears a second time after dinner. He told me to treat this as a good learning experience and 考验and also to communicate with the bosses how i feel and see if things can change for the better. Not only that, treat all these as a challenge and see if i can think of solutions to finish my tasks faster.
I am thankful for the advice, calmed myself down and borrowed the bicycle to cycle back. I will think about it during my off day and if there is a chance, i would talk to them and hope things will be better...
