Working Life

I have always been telling my friends that I have had fond memories of my time working after my A levels before being enlisted. Then I was coaching and working as a waiter at bboss at the same time. It wasn't really tiring as the waiter job was only at night, while the coaching was at most three times a week. Other days when I wasn't working, I would be back in CHS helping out with training or out with friends for lunch or just relaxing at home. No worries, and I did have time to myself, yet I was working and doing something I loved. It was great life then.

Just started on something similar a week back, when I started working as a shop assistant. So far, its been real tiring. Was coaching on 5,6,7, then started work as the shop assistant on 8 all the way till 12, before having an off day to go back to coaching. And I'm going to work all the days which I don't have to coach for the rest of the month. This is a tiring prospect as it means I'm not gonna have any real off days for the rest of this month. It's no fun having to stand for a few hours in a row serving (i DO stand AND serve for my players to receive during trainings but its abit different you see) difficult customers and searching for their sizes. Hey... But I was the one who was tired of being at home for five days a week doing nothing constructive. So its my choice...

2 different periods of similar working life which I probably won't repeat ever again. I told myself after working at bboss that I won't want to be waiter again, so now I am working as a shop assistant, after which I may decide on the exact same thing: not to work as a shop assistant again. Its not because I do not enjoy being a waiter or a shop assistant, its just the experience that counts. To be truthful, I do not expect myself to become either one of those when I graduate right?

I know that my working life after graduating from uni will probably be a lot different from the one I'm having at the moment, so why not just enjoy it while I can right now right?

Just a small side issue, I hereby vow to make it big and make sure all those difficult customers that I serve during my time as a shop assistant will have to bow under me!!!
