I have work in so many establishments but all were private and my work there was on contracts, most of the times, i think of what would be the feelings, if my work was permanent, beside, i have friends and family members who work a permanent work and on each months, immediately it 26th - 30th of a month, they would be credited their salary, I do see the excitement on them and, in those moments, I mostly wish I was those person's.
I am jealous in the sense that, if I do not keep on giving cards to people I come across each days and advertising my business to them, i may not get a contract and at such, it might affect me to make a living, even while I continue giving those cards to people in advertising my services, some months, I stay for long and no work is connected.
Meanwhile, those people who work permanent work do not have to worry themselves, because once it is the end of the month, their salary will be paid depending on their levels or ranks.
I have a friend who owns a provisions store, he make a comment sometimes that he does not have patronage in his business and it is affecting him so much, he usually go to markets every three months but it isn't happening anymore, and the way he sees his business is just like, he is going down instead of going up.
He told me this, because he realizes that, I am someone who would understand what he is going through, for someone who got a monthly work does not have that experience and it may be hard for the person to understand what he was talking about, I told him he shouldn't take it so much on himself because, a time is coming that customer's will start patronizing him just like it was in the time he appreciates it.
Yet, a statement he make touches me, when he said that, scarce patronage is affecting him and that some days, when he calculates his sales and what he needs to buy home for his family, he would just realized that, he would not be able to buy all he wants, so that would warrant him to removed some noodles in the shop to the house but he is tired of eating noodles.
He didn't like the scarce patronage that is the truth, but some people want to eat that noodles he had.
We went ahead and I relate to him to keep on searching for permanent job and never to missed an interview about government jobs, for me, I do not pressure myself too much about which work is government own or not, but as an individual, at times, I do feel the job security that people who work for the government had.
For me, to have that same freedom of receiving pension and gratuity that means, I have to establish so many businesses and i understand that, but I wouldn't lie about it, I am jealous, I wish I work a permanent job.
