I went to work, but by 9.30 I was about to throw in the towel and beg to be allowed home. But although as gan kor as I was feeling, I still managed to tahan while considering whether to take 1/2 day leave or not.
L come over and advised me to go home and rest, which is where I am now. Ensured me that cycle is in good hands because we have full strength today, so even if I have to leave first they are fine. So went over to tell lao ban that I would like 1/2 day off... Lao ban machiam dowan to allow, and I was going to walk back to my seat, defeated.
Then lao ban give his go-ahead.
In another circumstance I would have thought I won the tug and war, but I am in trememdous pain leh, so I can only think that boss very bu jing ren qing. Really want to see me faint then admit me to hospital meh?
Ok la, it's true I wont faint. But if he dont let me come home I will bear grudges and hate him from now on.
But I shall be considerate and stand in another's shoes.
Lao ban's view:
1. Cant let her go because last few cycles not doing very well. Her cycle looks dangerous too.. Cant let all the cycles flop.
2. If she pretending or what, yday on mc today want to take 1/2 day? Trying to get away from work issit?
3. Stupid complain case, always same story from this customer. Huh, what did you just said?
Might be hor... Lao ban also have to consider many factors la. But then I am just a tiny screw in the whole machinary. One less screw the machine wont fall apart la. But if this screw is rusty might need to change it all together? But this screw although take mc once every mth, it is purely to recharge energy mah. Holding up this machinary is a lot of sweat and blood leh. Then while the screw is on the job she does her job duly what. Might not have been the screw of the yr nor the most improved screw but plays a part is making the machinary runs mah!
Ok, I shall quit talking to myself.
