Im currently staying with my girlfriend its been about 5 months now and we basically share everything from the bills to food, MY car
etc
She has been in a tight spot for some time now without a consistent job just one or 2 calls here n there. This has been a problem because of ... THE BILLS. They gotta be paid. Since we are both Uni students the parents do try to chip in whenever they can and thatz how she has managed to stay afloat in terms of rent, im sorting out my half because im grafting part time and groceries im handling for us and other lil costs like fuel as well.
Problem #1 - woman cannot keep a job, she got some decent offers in the last year but hasn't lasted over a month at any 1 job except a part time place she can get ridiculous hrs like 6 hours/month and it's an on call job so ue never know when they need ya which doesnt help much. I think i know where her problem is actually its more than 1 issue. the last job she had she was late her first 3 days of work and for me that is disrespecting your empolyer but she kept insisting the man was ok with it he understood bla bla. Guess what? The 3rd day was her LAST. When she was late the first time i told her to make an effort the next day to be early because first impression counts. Deaf ears i tell ue.
She thinks im 'luckier' with jobs but damn sometimes ue need to take your chances right? Seriously. I always get the line 'Futhi ue are lucky coz ue easily got a job ue love.' Im settled now but i dont exactly love it, i love the fact that it allows me to pay my own rent, buy my own food and clothes etc like someone who is 23 innit? I was unemployed once and being in a foreign country it sucks.
Scenario 2: There were 3 openings at my workplace and people were not applying for the jobs much and i told her about it, brought her application forms etc. She had 1 foot in coz i gave in a good word for her. They call her up for an interview and she tells them she cant make it on the day coz she has another job interview. When she told me i was mad, HOW ABOUT SETTING UP ANOTHER TIME? DAY? i mean if i was jobless i would go to as many interviews as i could. Funny enough she didnt go for the other interview anyway and didnt get the job. and she claims to be unlucky but for me to say this to her the exact way im writing it is tough... i really think she is taking laziness too far and coming up with excuses yet its HER OWN LIFE AND FUTURE.
i'll be back with what really pissed me off today... gimme a few
