Gotta Be Contented.

I worked til near 9pm last night.
And before I left, I went to the toilet.
The toilet auntie as usual talk to me.

She asked what time I came in so I said near 10pm.
Then she did some mental calculations and said in chinese, "11 hours? not too long."
It struck on me immediately that sometimes we are too demanding.
I reckoned she has to work much longer hours with a much lower pay.
Maybe the stress level she experiences will be lower than ours, but given the effort and time she gives in, I don't think will be any lesser than we did.
Still her pay should be way below most of us.

Personally, I don't mind long working hours if I have work to clear.
Of course not like 11 hours almost everyday.
I do complain, but usually not the long hours but more of the uncertainty with the knock off timing and other stuff.
Learnt some skills to handle what I dislike, will continue to learn so I can continue to be happy at work. :)

Thanks Auntie.

But, I don't understand why she wana ask me about my pay.
Haha.
