Asked help for parking fee
Hi People.
I am feeling sad to post this. Human being in a way!!
I went to my course & left the wallet at home ( mummy's brain, my bad ) this morning. It could be alright I dont need to spend anything.I thought.
Half of the day went well. I got unexpected call fr my boy's school to tell me that he got hurt by jamming his fingers & unsettle, no signs of injury just bruise. I let them know that I were out of town, coulnd be back straight away. They said OK & gave him an other 10 munites.
I couldnt focus anymore after that at class but decided leaving anyway. At the carpark I rang them. They said he was Ok & got back to class happily. Whoop..it was good. I decided keep going , but planned stopping at Farmers on the way instead. Bugger, I had no wallet. I arranged to borrow fm my husband who works in town & would meet him at Farmers. Ok that' was sorted.
I ve been through all the trouble to find car park. None left & so many cars go round and round. I moved to the building next to the Hospice & spotted one spot. Yeh. Parked the car. OH NO. Couldnt purchase the ticket , no money. I didnt realise it now. I were exhausted.
What would I do? couldnt leave the car but just go home. He was waiting & needed to get back to work. Is anyone kind enough to give away 50c-1$. It took me awhile to be brave for asking. The only chance that I still could made. You never know until you try. What would you think?
A old couple approached me, walking forward to the ticket machine. I smiled but really hesitated. The man asked "Were you OK" I replied I were fine,thank you but very shied I asked quietly. Did you have any coins? The lady kept walking & answered "Yes I had, but for me sorry". she walked away !!!.
Oh men. I felt so embarrassed, pity....not much differrent as if I were a begger. Did I just do something really bad? which I wouldnt have should. Why would she / he just bare one second, stopped & talked to me? The way she did just so cold, looklike it was none of her business, stay away from them. I felt that way anyways.
We all human being, making mistake...I did. This case was all my fault because forget wallet. Week ago I felt greatful because I found my wallet from the supermarket. Today, I felt opposite...
Not sure what would you do if you were in my position or you were in the lady position? I just wish we should be sensitive & nice to people as much as we could. Sometimes I left carpack, if my ticket still had valid time, I passed to next driver. They said oh, thank you...I feel please for that.
Regards

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
