My Opera【Day 49】Point of No Return
Friday, September 8, 2006 6:39:04 AM
Filled day with my research on line
It wakes me as there is so much to do with the Education Industry--- really a booming one!
Yet just at when I was leaving the office, something unpleasant happened,
The Japanese Wife came to me and talk to me in an non-negotiable tone:
“Come to my house and be the tutor of my daughter while my absence for the next 3 weeks,”
With a seemingly nice mind: “if you have nothing to do after work”
As if I am a beggar: “I shall pay you as the market price for college part-times and you can have free dinner at my place when you come”
Yet she is treating me as a cheap labor, a baby-sitter: “coming everyday would be satisfactory, u do not have to do much, u just company her ”
The moment I heard the first word of request,
A sudden feeling of “My life is deprived, My Life!” came to me and made me feel numb,
Then without a second thought, I know this matter is severely wrong:
I am a working people, earning my shabby salary—not even compared to their spending on a feast with some authoritative guys
Yet I have my life, my self-planned life,
I am not a housekeeper, a housegirl of this empty company and the people included in this family tree of this family enterprise
Furthermore, my price is higher than a college part-time
I would not do something I did during college life for the sake of money
Even if I do it for the sake of money , I would do something new, challenging.
I am not as cheap as they assume. I would not serve them as they think: “arrange ur time for tutoring your cousin sister and make more time for my daughter.”
Or even “arrange my career and ignore my development while make more time for your company”
So this incident happens as it expedites my re-orientation of my SHLife into the 2nd phase.
