Excuse me, are you a boss?
I dun think I can ever be the boss of a business. The Towkay Neo maybe :) But not the boss. Today as we were having dinner, I was staring right into an opticial shop. It is not a big branch of some big name but it is a small area in a new shopping mall. And the only guy in there was this tall thin guy wearing specs and looking really bored. Not only bored but also anxious. He would be leaning on the edge of the shelves and smsing or pacing the shop from end to end (which took like 5 mins). Often, he would stare at 'potential' customers and then when they pass by, he would pace some more. He counted the boxes on the shelves thrice in 20 mins. He makes me feel bad just by looking at him. The wierd thing is, I think he might actually attract some customers if he would sit down and read some documents. I would be scared off by him. Not that I can help him in anyway. Becoz I spent $5K to ensure I dun have to go to an optician for the next 10 years (hopefully). But I know I just cannot handle this kind of stress like everyday lor. I dun have the stomach to be the boss. It is nice to have your own hours and your own way of doing things but I just cannot sit and wait for people to pay the bills for me. Cannot. I would be biting nails everyday wondering if I can pay for my next meal. P agrees.... we are so BOTH workers for life.
