I didn’t want to go so I didn’t go
Sunday 12th November 2006 02:11:22 PM
Alarm went off today at 7:45am prompting me to get ready for work and you know what? I couldn’t be bothered and I didn’t care that I couldn’t be bothered or the implications it may bring. I lay there snoozing and at half 8 I was like WTF I don’t want to be working all or most of my life especially when I’m young!
I have given this some previous thought aswell and I’m going to hand in my resignation letter sometime this coming week.
So I slept a bit a more and then strolled down at 10:30 unfazed by my actions (or lack thereof). I made myself some egg and toasts which is a heavy breakfast for me, usually I have 1 toast and some tea, while I was doing so Bob is washing up and says “hey Paijaan no work then?”
She’s surprised to find that it’s not a booked holiday and that I didn’t go simply because I didn’t want to. I tell her I’m going to be quitting to which her reply is “So where am I going to get my money from?!”
I didn’t have the courtesy to give work a call to let them know I’m not going to be coming in, will most likely receive a disciplinary letter (first ever) since it counts as absence without leave, oh well; they’ll get a resignation in return, ha.
When I first started this call centre job I was motivated and raring to go because I’d never worked in one before. 1 year and 8 months later I’ve had enough, it’s not only that, I think the Paki side of me is craving to be free. What I mean by that you know when freshies (i.e. Paki’s new to western countries) try and settle down into work they hate it because working in a company is all about commitment and time management.
You can imagine how it is, us Paki’s are naturally 10 minutes late to arrive and 10 minutes early to leave. Other things like needing a holiday, we’ll let them know a week before (if they’re lucky) and company policy will be to let them know 3 weeks in advance. Also, we don’t really go along with “advance notice”; like to be free and do what we like.
Me in particular, if you haven’t noticed by now, I like my sleep. I think all these things are passed down into the Paki (or desi) bloodstream and it’s something we don’t have much control over.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always been in the good books with the company – only 1 sickie and hardly ever late.
Other thing is I’ve been working since I was 17 and I had more money then than I do now. Money comes and goes so I’m not really fussed, I don’t have much probably enough to get me through Uni for the year and I’ll have to budget extremely well at that.
The way I see it, I would rather be 20, free, and skint than be 40, tied down (define that as you wish), and rich. I know I’m going to be working later on so I may aswell relax for the moment, why work when you can do without? I want to relax for a couple of months (like the good old days) and then maybe do something come July/August time.
Heyyy, you know what this means! More blog shit for you … ha ha.
Ps: My dad doesn't call me "marze ka malak" for nothing.

hey tos, already spoken to u bout this laziness.. but here's to wish u good luck with however u decide to spend your weekends, lets just hope it's not extended nap time lol
I say go for it, if it's making you feel unhappy and tied down
just hand in your resignation in style :)
but what happens when you wanna go to the cinema? or you wanna eat out? or when it's someone's birthday and you have to buy them a present?
I work in a call centre part-time, and it does drive me mad sometimes, but i guess I like having the security of my weekly paycheck - even though I don't go out and spend it all!!
this might be a one day thing.why dont u take a sick leave for a few days or start working for lesser days,see if ur mood changes after a while.
way 2 go dude! be freee. i'm gettin naggd by mom as well..am 2 lazyyy..can't b askd..prefer the freedom
p.s. am lookin 4rwrd 2 more 'blog-shit' lolzz.
ha ha...man, you can only do that at 20 so go for it!
Dnt worry about money brother. DENEY WALA ALLAH!!!!!
sallamzs tos.
i got a idea. seen as tho your a paki and your lazy and you got pakiness in your blood why dont you do what all pakis do?? START TAXIS!! you can work when you and for as long as you want. oakwell cars is waiting for you!!!
hi pini.
aive read this post and i dunno what to say. i guess u do have a point though. u young and u want to be free. once u older n u marriede wid kids n u got car repayments, a bond to pay n mouths to feed, then u wont have the luxury of quitting.
so enjoy it while it lasts
Hey guys
Asma - thanks!
Naz - Believe it or not I've never given or recieved a bday gift (ok I tell a lie, there was a one time) but apart from that, no. I think I'll be able to squeeze in a takeout and movie every now and then.
Rai - nah I don't think it's a one day thing, I was airing my views to my mates before I put up this blog entry.
Mocha - Yup freedom, thats what it all about. FREEDOM!!
Sobi - You're right this is probably the only time I can get away with so might aswell.
Rio - Absolutely bro ... nothing can be done without Him.
Bobby - Welcome, I'm surprised to see you here (nice surprise tho) and thanks for the offer. Somehow I don't think I'll be starting taxi's but if I do I'll be taking over your job for sure, so watch out!
IceQ - Lol about the car repayments (I do have a car btw with no repayments!) and this is what I'm saying aswell, I won't have a choice later on.
Thanks y'all for your comments
