Selling Me

I love my job.  I really do.  Trust me, I know what it is like to have a kak job.  I’ve had many.  But finally it seems I found my place in this world.  I really like this job.

So, why am I writing about it?  They have offered me a few rands extra to do weekends too.  Obviously the money is more than welcome.  For a while now it seems that my money just don’t stretch far enough. 

So what’s the problem?  I have a feeling I am selling my soul.  I cannot be on call 24/7 for the salary they want to give me.  Granted there are days that I am not busy.  There are days that I work like a maniac too. 

I just feel somewhere in between all of this I have to have me time.  Time off.  Family time.  Whatever you want to call it. 

The upside of being paid for weekends is that I am basically doing weekends since January already anyway.  So, it would just be fair to get paid for it.  But once you get paid for it, it is expected.

Am I selling my soul for a few rands?  It’s too late anyway, I said yes.
