Work and such....


So, the work on bikes, is still going on,
They dont help me anymore and when i ask for help, they are reluctant to offer .....

Not nice.
Also, because i was at my sisters place, for 3 weeks, all of the sudden, they (?) removed the carpet i put my bike on, just throw it out!
so not to damage the steering, and gear...
My red mug is gone, too.
It was not anything expensive, it was just MINE.
Gone!
Nowbody knows where it is gone??

One other thing, all of the certain, because, for most folks working there, it is a day time activity, to get them back to some sort of daily routine, because of their multi problems, mental cases, drugs related, medicine related... addiction...
And so on,

i now have to pay, to do the volenteers work..
Huh?
There is a lot of money going on, the that kind of "care" for mental cases, homeless folks.
A LOT of money..

They made some calculation in wich it seems as if i gain from this regulation
But, they count a full weeks work, and i dont work a full week..
So, by doing this votenteers work, i am going to pay them, too?!

How about some real crazy rules....
Because i am an exception to the rule, they cant bend the rule for me,
and i have to pay....., anyway!
although i dont need that extra care.. guidance..
And dont get any guidance, or help, at the workplace....

They try to pressure me in getting along with this rule, That is not a smart thing to do, because i dont like to be pressured into something that just does not feel right.

The more they pressure me, the more they give me a reason to doubt their real, sincere motivations....
They awaked the mule in me, that way!

Hows that? for some real crazy situation going on?
I did not decide yet, what to do...?

Today, i was at the market, there is this woman from Ghana, having a very small markket stand, selling dresses, bags, juwelery...
I always go visit her, talk with her, sometimes i buy some dress, or other items.

People here are very, very racist.

We talked and she said she wanted to use a sewing machine, for making some adjustments to some of her bags for sale.
But she did not have a sewing machine....

So, i told her, i have a sewing machine, we can work something out?
If you want, too?
She was very happy with my offer and next week we are going to make a appointment, so she can come to my house and we will see from there?!
She is a very kind woman.

I am also asking real bike shops if they have a working place for me..
Most are just small bike shops, don t have much place for an apprenticeship..
I will see, i keep asking other bike shops.

Although i do know the main maintanance on bikes, the routine is what makes the difference...

It sounds like you really need to find a new bike shop.

It appears it is time to move on and be appreciative you did learn some things.
Your stuff would not be gone if they appreciated you.

    Quoting likeithot19:
    It appears it is time to move on and be appreciative you did learn some things.
    Your stuff would not be gone if they appreciated you.
My thoughts as well, I do agree with likeithot... I see no appreciation for you there anymore, dear Rosa

Exname,
I agree, I do.

but the thing is, it is not personal, they will rob anyone, if they will get the chanche.
That is how the mentallity is, at that place,
That is why i am always totally kaput, after working there 1 day
I have to watch my back, constantly....

theowner,
Do you know, what kind of hassle it is, to start a new shop?
I just want to work in one, not own it!
I dont want all that paperwork, i want to get my hands dirty!
