IM IN A DILEMMA D:
which should i choose???
going to malaysia with family and friends? or working?
the answer may seem obvious to some of you, but ITS REALLY IS NOT THAT SIMPLE.
let me give you the background information:
my boss said that temp staff are not allowed to take leave so often (as i arranged to take leave for yd retreat, and then the following tuesday - thurs, i was supposed to go to malaysia). so, IF i go to malaysia, i'll probably be fired. ): so serious, i know.
i also have an upcoming cf camp (5th -8th july). im quite sure that they will not be very happy with me if i ask for leave on 3 occasions.. but i really want to attend this one.
ok here are the full details of option 1 (weighing the pros and cons of going to malaysia):
Pros:
-a 3 day well-deserved break at a coastal place in malaysia
-lots of free time to play before uni starts! (cos i'll get fired)
Cons:
-not much shopping at the place that we're going to
-i will be FIRED from my job with immediate effect -> meaning no $$
-i wont be able let my bunnies out to run for 3 days
-too much free time! (yes, there is such a thing as that)
and for option 2 (continue working):
Pros:
-approx. an extra $960 in my pockets
-free money, cos work doesnt feel like work at all! (:
-i get to take care of my bunnies
-perfect amount of time to rest before uni begins
Cons:
-missing out on all the fun with friends and family ):
-home alone!! -> meaning that i have to take care of all my own meals! and wake up by myself, and take public transport!
-i'll have to take leave AGAIN for the cf camp, which may potentially lead to me being FIRED in the first week of july (and not forgetting to mention, annoyed employers!)
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ): if only making decisions was easy...
i realised that this table does not take into consideration the intensity of pros and cons
eg. well deserved break > not being able to let bunnies out to play
...
...
...
i think i know what to do now. after lots of mental inequalities (< and >), i think i'm gonna skip the malaysia trip :/
its a really big compromise, but i figured that i can have more fun in retreat to make up for not going to malaysia! and cf camp will definitely be fun too! (:
yeah, thats what i'll do.
yay for ranting and talking to myself! i cant believe it actually helped me to make up my mind! (:
