I did it!
14/November/2004. This Hari Raya, this day, marks an important event in my life. I'm so glad I have a blog to record it down for future reference.
Wait, it's not something honourable or of high integrity.
In fact it's something shameful.
No, I didn't molest a 10-year-old girl, nor get involved with some married woman.
This day, Lee Jady, I/C No. S8521467/E, of St George's Road, got FIRED!
HAHAHAHA.
And i'm so happy about it.
Omg.
Usually people will say "You are fired!" But in this case, I have just fired myself.
I AM FIRED!!!!!
That's right.
I didn't turn up for work today. And because of this, I have been deemed 'so irresponsible, especially as an instructor'.
Oh what a heartbreaking feedback that was.
All this happened because I am indeed irresponsible, only God knows how true that is.
I was at Ska this afternoon expecting lunch. However, I only saw Mr. Wong singing by himself in the black belt room.
So I waited for the rest to turn up. During this time, Mr. Wong offered me a wine, but I rejected and told him I would be heading for work.
See how irresponsible I am.
So I waited, and waited, and waited.
Time flew past. It was already 4+ when they turned up and Mr. Wong had finished half a bottle of the wine. While I was already half-asleep.
Still no sign of lunch.
We talked cock a little, and I also walked up and down, bothered by whether I should be loyal to Pot Luck, or lunch, or for that matter, beer.
5.10pm came. Still had time to go for work.
Then a brilliant idea struck me.
I decided to work.
At Ska.
I would wear the uniform provided by Pot Luck and serve my fellow Karateka.
That's still working, isn't it?
Unfortunately this plan didn't quite work out and I gave it up.
By then it was already 5.30pm.
5.30pm = late if I took a bus.
I wasn't going to waste my money taking a cab for a $20 job. I already did twice, and that had almost used up one day's salary.
So the irresponsible me decided to just sit in the black belt room and pretend nothing has happened.
But Kiyoshi called.
And he didn't believe I was at Ska, which was irritating after a few times, he even sounded angry, wtf. Because I was irresponsible? Oh I am so sorry yeah.
My supervisor took over the phone and fucked me up.
5 minutes later, my boss called.
I was shivering in irresponsibility and almost pee-ed in my long pants worn for work.
I summoned my utmost courage and bravery and answered his phonecall.
"Jady ah"
"Yah?"
"Why didn't you come for work?"
"Ahh, I have trouble arranging the timing ah. Sorry ah Edmund."
"No no no you don't have to be sorry. You see ah, the bottomline is this, if you are sick or what or cannot make it at the last minute, you have to let me know. I'm fine with last minute one, but at least you should let me know. You don't just keep quiet you know."
"Uh huh"
"That ah is so irresponsible, especially for an instructor."
"I really can't arrange the time properly lah."
"Ok lah, I tell you what. Since it is difficult for you to come and work ah. You wait till end of the month for your paycheck, then we'll see how lah."
"Ok, very sorry ah."
*tooooooooot*
From that point onwards I proclaim official joblessness.
But come to think of it, it wasn't even time for work. By right I was still not late. Unless I cocked up and am supposed to report sometime before 6pm.
Ah well. It just ends as I had hoped for. On the other hand, I felt really stupid not to have called Edmund up and told him directly that I wanted to quit. Ok here I admit that I am really irresponsible. I deserve to be slapped. At least now I know what to do in future. But will I still be working part time?
To Edmund: I am truthfully sorry for creating a mess. Anything else, I am totally proud of it and not at all remorseful.
I went back to the black belt room and they started asking me.
"How? Boss called ah?"
"Yah hehe."
"What he said? What you tell him?"
"Uh? Like that lah, ok lah nothing much. He said I should be more responsible."
Laugh and laugh.
5 minutes later Jeya Sensei asked me again: "Eh your boss fucked you ah?"
"Not really lah. He said I should responsible, some more as an instructor."
"Hahaha."
"I AM FIRED! Hahaha."
Laugh and laugh.
Mr. Wong wasn't too displeased.
"Aiyah it's not a big deal lah. What is $5? So little for this kind of job."
I agree totally.
blah blah blah.
"If like that you should have told me earlier, then yesterday no need to find the two Phillipino maids to clean the place, and then you could have done it for me. Bugger each $50 you know."
"Hahaha."
"Next time ah you take the SIA class then SKA compensate you some more lah."
What a blessing in disguise.
"Haiyah, kena fired. I am SO sad!"
"Alamak now no need to work, so you should take a beer man! Drown your sorrows!"
In the end we had dinner.
Pizza hut.
And of course, beer.
Knn this meal alone is enough to cover today's salary of $40.
Deep inside, I know I have done wrong.
I don't feel good at all, even though I wanted it to happen, and know what will happen to me when that happens.
I guess it just didn't struck me enough that I am really irresponsible.
Damn it I am a martial artist.
Think I need to do more training.....
Still have to return their uniform someday. Argh. Actually I don't mind not collecting my last pay. But since they are really very nice people.....
Time for TV.
