So haven't been here for a while and see it a place I can write and no one I know will see it.
I've tried to make my blog interesting and light hearted sadly this post won't live up to that. A little moan at why I'm in a shitty situation and a problems growing up in todays modern society.
So quick introduction, grew up in Uk, moved to France last year, have failed businesses, opened a new one, looking better. Started working here also (have to pay the bills some way right?) and the boss has completely screwed me over.
When I started all seemed well, had good hours, good pay, and the boss was looking to move me upwards. I work in a little Crêpe restaurant, was pretty awesome and was learning alot. However all good things come to an end. It all started when a few others started to leave.
The hours went up and I was happy to do all the over time to make money to put into my business. Apart from now I learn I don't get payed the extra hours. Not great, also doing 500 covers a day meant its was not light for me a kitchen worker...
Also due to the hard work and long hours a problem in my back have started to develop meaning one morning I woke up not being able to bend! So go to the doctor here to have tests and the results show I have a small wearing of a disc, (I'm only just 21) super! I have two weeks off work to have more tests and a rest from the doctor.
After the two weeks the doctor doesn't see a reason why I cant work even after enduring serious pain. I decide to try working with an array of medicine to help. Turns out work think I wasn't 'ill' and decide to treat me horribly giving me the bad jobs etc. Also being English in a French kitchen isn't the best as I don't quite speak fully in French. Also first day back was a lovely 13hr day and 610 covers. I was ruined! This is how I get treated after all my hard work for the guys company!
I've had numerous issues with paperwork for sick pay and so haven't revived any money. Yuck! No money in, rent bills and a business... Opps!
Because I've had the two weeks off and gone back on sick I now cant move into a smaller apartment to even try reduce the outgoings. I've also had to slow my buying and selling business. Really in a tight spot not knowing what I'm going to eat next week 😌
So next in line, what do I do? Sell what I can and move in with someone or rent a room. Try find another job here (not easiest with the language again). Not sure to change to a cheaper town here (if I finally find someone wanting to understand my situation and allow me to rent.
So sat here with no fingernails from worrying not knowing what to do!
Never know may get the little shine of light on here...
Having tried so many ways of making money I kinda give up and feel a 'normal' job is my only option to start again as I cant keep going like this. Either that or give my dreams up and move back home to try again.
Meh.
