Don't work for Curry people

Well... this is what all my friends say. So I avoid telling lots of people that I'm actually working for this Tamil guy. I know him because he used to sing with me for Innisai Maalai. One of my friend (Barani Anna) hooked me up with this current job because he knew I had no job for a month and my current boss was looking for someone to work for him as well. So I said why not and started working straight away. Our agreement was I work everyday but he wasn't sure how many hours it’s going to be and then he will pay for my transport + the hours I worked.

Before I started work today, I was waiting outside the office for 30 minutes because nobody opened the office, this girl starts one hour earlier than me and she was sick so she didn't turn up today. So I called my boss and told him I'm outside the office and then he turned up 30 minutes later... this is not the first time this happened, this is probably the 10th time.. seriously and I come to work all the way from Thomastown, sometimes he forgets to bring the accounts/invoices so he tells me to go back home because there is nothing else to do. I only got annoyed when he sends me back home, but I just always tell him “no worries” and leave even though I was annoyed. There were reasons for me doing that, because some of the things that happened he had no control over it, for example that girl was sick and nobody opened the office door. But he could have called me and said that I can come late because there's nobody to open the door, but he didn't. And another reason: I always like to give people chance/opportunity and see what happens, because I believe they will realize, and correct themselves, Mahesh Uncle once told that people change all the time; and change is the permanent thing in life and I totally believe in that, but I won’t give them chances more than three times. If I do then it means I’m a fool.

Yesterday I told him, "I have to finish work at 5pm tomorrow", he looked at me and said "are you telling me or you asking me?" I didn't like the way he said that because I was talking to him as a friend and he just gave me a sarcastic comment. I just smiled at him and left. After his sarcastic comment, I was putting a lot of thought about how I can handle this situation, So today I was doing my job as usual and he came and told me that I must finish the job by today and then he left (that job will take about 3 days to finish for anyone).

While I was working I got this sms from a friend and if I don't check it straight away it makes an "alert" noise every one minute... so I was just checking my sms on my phone, while I was checking sms my boss came into my office room and he told me "you shouldn't be checking it while you at work". I was pissed off so I told him, if you want me to be like that then you should do the same, if you want me to be like a professional worker at your place you got to do things in professional way too, he was shocked because I never talked to him that way. He asked me what I meant, I told him about I come and wait and ect, and I don't really take breaks, [but sometimes when I really get bored I just sign into my msn and say hello to my close friends and talk for 5 – 10 minutes …because there is only two people in the office and we have different office room so I have nobody to talk to… so that’s the only break time I have (away from doing my work stuffs)] he even come and ask me to do something while I have my lunch - I didn't take them as an issue before because I was just thinking him as a friend. Every time I call him and say I'm sick he always says if you can't come to work you should tell me one day before... How the f*** I know if I'm going to be sick?

There’s more... he told me while I'm at work he owns me, because he pays me so I should just work, and I can't take break because I'm a temp/casual and also he only offered me a job because he knows me and I shouldn't be thinking like I'm just helping him or doing a favor to him. I told him that’s not right, even though I don't really take any breaks every two hours I have the right to take minimum 10 or 15 minutes break and a 30 minutes lunch break is a must and that’s the law. He just smiled at me sarcastically and then just started talking some bullsh!t. I just didn't like the way he thinks that he owns me during that period of the time while I'm at work.

Now I've decided that there’s no point talking to him, and for me there's more to life than putting up with these kind of people and I think work place supposed to be a happy friendly environment because you spend most of your life time at your work place. I will quit this job if I have some money seriously, but I just want to find another job and quit this job now.

Well… if you guys are wondering how I got the time to write this… I'm writing this on my lunch break: P
