Already Poor X Getting Sour: The Cheap Labour

i didn’t plan to go work anymore today

due to the disappointment for last month wages

i came in for the whole week of my break

7 days, including a Sunday and two Saturdays

and the pay was so meager that

i wish i could just bang myself on the wall

on average it’s less than RM 20 per day

 

but my mom had promised them that

i would go today

so i had to, reluctantly

 

11 am in the morning

greeted by the piles of work

i know it would be quite impossible to

leave at three or latest by four

to go for the Saturday hang out

stack of work

 

on top of the meager pay

coming in on part time basis

over the weekend could be quite difficult

since a part-timer is expected here on Saturday

i am left with ..

what i call the weekend leftover

so basically i am a trash bin

 

i was so frustrated

plus the heat in the stuffy room

up to the point that

i took off my shirt

the taken off shirt

 

the super tight top in there

i no longer gave a damn if

the polka top bra is being seen

the dungaree

 

the super Mario outfit

i not only looked like a labour

in fact i worked like one

all the way till 5.30pm

 

anyway

i not too sure whether it is a good thing

because on my way to work

and in the middle of frustration

i thought of the Remake It dress

that’s the first thing i would wanna buy

to balance my dissatisfaction

despite the fact that

it costs more than what i can earn in 7 days

Remake It Dress

 

i am not too sure how much

would i be getting for my hard labour of the day

but if it is RM 20 or maybe lesser

it’s okay, just keep it

just assume that i am doing voluntary work

the work still awaiting.. 4 hours later

 

it is really not worth it

getting myself damn tired

facing the computer

hours and hours

missing lunch

on one fine Saturday

 

but thinking the other way round

if i were to sit at home

i earn practically nothing

probably drowning in front of

the computer or television

munching away

or spend an hour or two, napping

zero income

 

FML

fix my life

i need a solution
