Hi Harry,
I was offered a weekend job in the hostel I worked before. I took it as I was getting very board at home, and also felt it may help me get out and start becoming more active.
I did the job for 3 days, sat,sun, and Monday. On Tuesday had an appointment with people to come and repair the alarm at home, so had to stay in whole day. I called my employer and told him the problem.
The next day he called and said there is no more job to be done. So no more job for now.
Today he called me again at 11 o’clock asking me to go if I can and do some work so they are able to finish the job(half day work).
I did make some excuse and did not go. I had my own reasons, mainly to show him that I am desperate for work.
With this guy we go a long way back. Even though he was the manager, but I thought him so many things while working with him.
Being 6 month with that company I asked the general manager for increase in my salary, and she told me that, my manager(this guy) has told her that he is still training me after 6 months being on that job.
Any job that I was doing then I used to take a picture before and after the completion of the job. So I show them and after a big argument with him, I left the company. He was too ruthless to feel ashamed of what he said behind my back or accepting the fact that he is only a cowboy builder who hides his imperfection behind me and others who work for the company.
Any ways, years passed and as I never been some one to hate any one, no matter what they do(may be it was my gambling part) I some times got some contract work from this guy, not working under him any more.
The main point of these post is to say that, him telling me there is no more job was actually his way of saying, because you did not come work one day, you have lost the opportunity, and I do not give you the job.
But at the same time with people he has there, and I saw them on the site, he realised today, at 10 o’clock that he can not finish the job, there for calling me asking me to go at 12 noon if I can.
That was the whole story, and a reminder for me that, I am not gambling any more and no one has the right to play games with me any more. I know my abilities and will not let people bully or mistake me as a slave worker.
I am glad with myself and the recovery.
All the best Harry.
