I seriously could not think of any other week that is as bad as last week, and I am so glad that it is over now.
I got Monday and Tuesday off work because there wasn't enough work for me in the winery. Well I didn't mind I'd just stay in Adelaide for a bit longer and play my brand new Diablo III I thought. Then came Monday when dad texted me about grandpa being in a critical condition, his cancer had got to his lungs and he's totally relying on machines to breathe while the situation was worsening by the minute. Grandpa passed away early on Tuesday. I decided not to go back to China for the funeral in the hope that I could get a bit more of work experience. And then on Friday, I was told that I was no longer needed in the winery due to lack of work available at this time of year after the vintage has finished. It had already been too late for me to make it back to China for the funeral the next Monday.
Had they given me a bit more notice, I wouldn't be in such a horrible situation losing both my job and my grandpa in the same week and couldn't do anything about either of them. I feel useless and helpless at the same time. I did what I can and sent some flowers and a bottle of the best wine I have back for the funeral, the wine probably wouldn't make it on time but well what can I do anyway.
Now one week later I have moved completely back to Adelaide thanks to myself keeping this house and became jobless. I am a bit lazy to hunt for a new job - well it won't be easy anyway and frankly I have been working pretty hard for the last year and I do deserve a break. The thing is I have not saved much for me to have the luxury of a break, so yeah, I don't really have a choice except start looking as soon as possible.
Wish me luck.
