My end at Attica
Tonight marks my last day working at Attica as a bartender. After 4 months of sheer hard work...impossible working hours that few have ventured, unruly customers and pressure from my family, mental fatigue has finally taken over. Though I'm gonna really miss this job, I still have to listen to my body in the end. Since taking a day job 2 months ago, I guess I spend more time at the office and club more than on my bed.
A normal work week consists of the usual 9-6 in the weekdays...usually hits up to 11 or 12 am except of Fridays, reportin to Attica at 10pm on Friday, end at 7am the next day, head back to office at 2pm, report back to work at 10pm again on that same Saturday and end at 7 am on the Sunday. My rest days lasts for a good 24 hours before its back to the following working Monday. 2 whole months of this so-called 'highly active lifestyle'. I've been labelled as crazy, workaholic, ironman and stuff like that. But what the hell, I enjoy working at Attica, too bad the pay ain't enought to help me survive...I mean...how can you live with just 600 bucks a month. Even less than what I got for NS.
Well...after all the money I've saved, gonna get a Compaq laptop for my studies in Aussieland. Its the cool white one...my accounts manager has someone working for HP...heh heh heh...heard I can get a pretty good discount. Can't wait to get to Melbourne, 2 of my buddies are there having a really good life. Life's pretty screwed up without both of them around...so much for the 'lah teh' and 'DotA' sessions we used to have...the clubbing sessions where whoever-was-the-drunk-guy was pushed towards some ahem...not so attractive babe to be grabbed with...heh heh...and of course...the endless and legendary 'KTL' (where to go in hokkien) after the whole jing gang has arrived. Just push on for 1 and the half months to go...its countdown time...then I'll start a whole new life in another country...with my buddy, my laptop and meee!!!
