Contradictory

To be paid well isnt really my main concern for my first few years of work, given my choice to work in the social services sector where I should already be expected to get a not-that-fantastic pay plus having to work in the weekends if I am working in voluntary welfare organizations.

However I do not wish to be exploited of my time and labour that is not compatible with my pay. For god's sake, dont tell me about passion and the desire to help the needys that one should be all willing to give more than one should. My time doesn't belong to public's use. Charity starts from home. The least that I can do is to first provide available resources to help myself and my family to be self-sufficient and not needed to be dependent on the govt or the social services for financial assistance thereafter. Plus there is always this order of charity. Like my mum always say, if every person in the society can learn just to take care of themselves first, societal problems would be so greatly reduced.

Dun be mistaken. i ve not started work yet. Just wanna be psychologically equipped for whatever it takes to be in my desired kind of work if I were to be recruited.

I am really no fussy inflexible person who cant take hard chores. I merely appreciate BALANCE in life which I dun see as too much to ask for.

ps: oh man i am so bored in my temp office, just told to extend my stay here when I feel like asking back, ' y on earth do you wan to employ me for sitting down at the desk, surfing net and writing blog? Are you doing me charity?'
