A nice day at work, it's a nice feeling when you busy and the time flies. It's a nice feeling aswell when you know what to do, that you just do thing you need to do and that it goes so eassily. I really like my work, yeah I think I said 'that' already a million times. But it is like that. Though the last hour I was a bit down, I felt tired and thought to myself, "Though I like this work, but I must be crazy to do all this for nothing," How long shall I wait? How long will this 'working for free' go on? All questions where I have no answer on. Maybe I should give myself or my Boss a ultimate, like 'I will wait untill 1 April, if I still don't have results I will be gone.' Damn, I can't keep working without getting money, before I know it will be October and have worked a year for free, insane!
My fellow workers are complaining aswell about our Boss, one fellow worker told me again today, "I think they keep you on a line." I'm starting to think the same. In January my Boss and I had a conversation, results: There wasn't enough work to hire me, though I could stay, cause maybe more work will come. In February again a conversation, results: Still not enough work, they had doubts of hiring me, they weren't sure yet. Though I could stay, perhaps more work will come. There wasn't a next conversation in March, my Boss told me that she would let me know as soon as possible if they gonna hire me. It's 1 March now and I'm still working for free, still no results. There is work enough, and more work is on the way. I don't get it, or do I?
I know there's a major money crisis in Holland, so it's sure not easy to get a job at the moment, and it will get worser this money-crisis. Today in the news...
"Dutch 2013 budget deficit at 4.5 percent."
The cabinet must implement at least nine billion euros’ worth of additional cuts to avoid exceeding the compulsory European Union maximum budget deficit of three percent of GDP in 2013.
The Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) predicts that without additional cuts the country faces a 4.5 percent deficit, about 28 billion euros, in 2013. CPB predicts a budget deficit of 4.1 percent in 2014 and 3.3 percent in 2015.
This will feel everyone in there wallet, I can assure you that. economize, economize and economize. Saving money as crazy, shorten in our income, shorten in almost everything. That is why (I think) my Boss is not hiring me, I'm to expensive in this 'money-crisis' time. Economize, lol, I did it almost whole my life, I don't know else, so what should I do? Just continue my economized life? Perhaps skip the summer vacation, or... I don't know. Though the news today about the money-crisis makes me angry, why? Economize? Let them start with the rich people with there top salaries, and not like always the poor people. Our cabinet has been spending money like crazy usually on un-usefull things, changing highways into racetracks, (900 million) sending soldiers to Afghanistan, (500 million) ect, ect.
This whole crisis is just un-fair. Saving money? Okay, let our cabinet start with saving money on there expensive trip, there expensive, dinners, there expensive hotel visits. It's kinda logical that the purchasing power decreases. cause people have no money to spend. It's always been like this in Holland, poor people get always the first hit when it comes to economize. But anyway we will see what happens. I just had a message back from my Reha-counselor, I mailed her to ask her what she thinks of my situation at work. She told me she was in the middle of a moving and she's about to have a short vacation, she will get contact with my Boss on the 12th of March. I repied to her and told her that that was okay with me, 12 March is fine.
I really hope that I will get results then, cause I surely can't keep on working for free. I'm looking forward for the three days off, not much has been planned though, only on Sarturday there's the radio and in the evening I will have a birthday party from a old resident from Humanitas, fun! Some more old residents have been invited aswell, I'm excited!
