Okay first, reader discretion is advised. I am about to be quite profane.
This person I know is working as waitress right now. She was going to work full time, and get benefits and all that shit, but apparently she didn't ask the right questions, or some shit like that and she can only get 16 hours a week and it's minimum wage. Now some waitresses can pull in a lot of money at a busy restaurant through tips, better if they don't go on file for Big Brother to see. But apparently, she doesn't get tips because she's "training." So she says this one day, looking very displeased,
"I have to get a second job"
Me: "maybe get one decent job that actually pays well?"
Her: "well, there's another restaurant that's part of the chain. I'll apply there."
Okay keep in mind, she has no interest in entrepreneurship, or anything like that. She believes that anyone who builds their own business is someone way more privileged and has everything going their way so that they can do it. And when I've told her about my business and such, I'm apparently too lazy to work hard or get a job.
When I was 8 or 9 years old, I was walking through a dense forest, which the ground was covered in a layer of dead trees that was five feet deep. I fell into a pit, sliced my leg open, walked 2 km through the forest with blood streaming down my leg over the most grueling terrain. Needed stitches after. No biggie.
I used to work a manual labour job 40 hours a week, go to school, and stay one of the top ranked martial arts students at my school; and still go out on weekends and pick up chicks.
Today, I have two businesses, work on them all day, and because I could use some cash on hand, I'm getting a sales job.
Yeah, I'm pretty F*cking lazy.
So if she wants to work slowlane, that's cool. Like MJ said, not everyone likes coffee, and it's foolish to tell them otherwise. But if you're gonna work a slowlane job, at least work one that's half-way F*cking decent.
Anyways, back to the story.
So I saw her last night. She was complaining how her feet were swollen from all the walking she had to do. And then she says "I'm gonna get a third job."
Me: "you're bloody insane."
Her: "it's what I have to do to make ends meet"
Me: "NO! There's better options"
Her: "You don't understand reality!"
Okay I don't understand reality. Come to think of it, that's why I never read Harry Potter books. I didn't want to get chased around by an evil bald guy with no nose.
Then, she was talking about these managers for a company who came to the restaurant, and she was saying how they were saying such great things about their employees. She said it would be great to work for that company because they seemed so positive; and therefore, the work environment was probably great. Better yet, they offered her a job!
My homegirl: "That's great! So did you accept??"
Her: "Well they were from Calgary, and that would mean I would have to move there."
Wait, what the F*cking F*ck?? They have branches in BC too!!
Me: "Well, I'm sure you can apply here too"
Her: "yeah, well, um... I don't know the managers here.."
Homegirl: "Doesn't matter, they ones you know will put in a good word for you."
Her: "Umm... I don't know.. I'll see. I have to do some interviews and get this other job first... I'll see.."
Okay, woman. So you aren't desperate right now. You just started working a week ago despite being unemployed for about two years. Now all of a sudden you're so desperate and everything is so hard. If you would stop feeling sorry for yourself, get your head out of your a$$, and seize a good opportunity, maybe you can stop moping and feeling like hippopotamus shit?
This is an example of someone who is constantly negative, and as a result, is making everything harder and more bullshit. Working three jobs which add up to 40 hours a week, that pay minimum wage, when you don't get ANY benefits or tips is F*cking stupid. Also, consider all the gas money spent driving to those three separate places, when she drives a F*cking gas-guzzler (but very fun to drive
).
But what the F*ck do I know? I don't understand reality. I lay in bed at night dreading the time when I meet He Who Must Not Be Named.
This job that she was offered is a sales job. She could work full-time, collect benefits, get commission, work in a decent environment, and she would be really F*cking good at it! She is an incredibly beautiful and charming woman, one reason why she makes so much tips. She's the type who could sell a Justin Bieber blowup doll to a straight man! If she would stop making excuses and bullshit I can't reasons, she could be very successful at this job!
Now, I'm not trying to insult her, or be a condescending F*cktard. I actually do care about this person, and it hurts to watch her suffer because of her own arrogance.
I've seen a lot of people like this though. They're people who think "hard work is the key," and "hard work will get you good results." I agree hard work is needed when it's SKILLFULLY APPLIED. If you want to be a Navy SEAL, yeah you bet your grandpa Sam it's going to be tough. If you work at Burger King, it don't matter how much vigor you flip that burger with, you're getting paid the same, and customers aren't going to notice.
Business can be hard work. Sometimes it's really tough to work for something which may or may not reward you until years later. But you do see the benefits, do you not? If you work hard when you need to, you won't have to when you don't need to.
People, it doesn't have to always be one way or the other. When there's two ways of doing something and both suck donkey cock, there's usually a third one which is at least as okay as drinking Buckley's.
Take opportunities when you can. DO THINGS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER! Not harder. Because you only get one shot at life, so make it the best you can.
