The Colorful Work World
Ch. 63 One Month Working (War)

I have been working as a programmer for a month in Tangerang. A different job than before I became a teacher to teach SMK students. There are so many cultural differences working in the workplace now with in the former workplace.

If I can say, when being a teacher is like being in a mole that is always noisy with the sound of students and then tares at rest and the voices of teachers when chatting or gossiping.

My present place of work, is like the atmosphere in a library or lonely places like a cemetery. If you remember, everyone at work is now mostly quiet. Especially the more senior ones. I myself am also usually more silent.

Only Patience sir who often chat especially if getting new information about gossip in the company. Because the job desk itself is more towards hardware and must go to various places to solve the IT problems they face. That moment he got a lot of information about gossip in the company.

As a new employee, of course I am very interested in this. Because information like this is very important to live life in the company. Especially if we want to aim for office, must be able to lick the boss. At least that's what I heard or read from some source.

Unfortunately I don't want to do something like that. Because the promotion increase will also add to the workload as well. Now I still don't know if my ability can do more tasks than I currently do. I'm afraid I'm getting a job that I still can't do well. Can be sprayed later same owner.

That's why besides salary, I'm also looking for knowledge that I can get here. The results will only be seen later after some time has passed working in this place. But for now, there is still not much science that I have gained to improve my abilities. Understand, the name also works not long here.

The pleasure came when Rawan began to ask.

“Pak Ray, what is the account number? what bank wear?”

”Oh, do you want time sir? it doesn't feel like I've been working here for a month.”

Payday date is coming soon. The company applies salary every 25th. Unlike when I work as a teacher getting a wage every 1st. One week earlier, I had been asked personal data such as no rek and npwp to take care of salary problems.

I must have quickly given you that information. However, you should be careful about giving this information to others. Do not give the above information to random parties. Fear can be capital for criminal acts. Nowadays there are so many methods of evil that people do so we must be more vigilant and careful.

In this case, because the company asked. I have to give you that data. Because if not, I won't get a salary for this month. Time yes already tired tired of work even not paid just because stubbornly do not want to give account numbers.

Judging from the employment contract I know, my current salary should be almost 3 times that of my salary when I became a teacher. With such an amount, it is only natural that the salary is given by transfer. Because if through cash, will be hassles bring it. I'm still nervous about holding a million rupiah, let alone more than that.

The payday finally came after a few days of providing the data. At this time, usually the employee has given the code “Where sir Ray, can transfer yet?” Often some of the officers I knew asked me that question.

More or less it is like a guyonan and every month it will reoccur. Usually the good news comes during the day, after lunch. At this time, I am lucky to have used the e-banking feature so there is no need to bother to atm just to check the contents of our savings book balance.

“...” I was silent for a moment after seeing the amount of the balance that went into the account.

Unfortunately the first few months I got a salary, financial management is still chaotic. There is no proper planning. Euphoria for the first time getting a lot of money. The result is most likely not much savings I have at this point.

As a good human being, you should be able to manage your finances wisely. Because if not, it will be more difficult later you live life. If when life itself can not manage finances, especially when it is married later. It can fall apart due to economic factors later.

For this month, I was afraid to buy carpets and mobile phone upgrades that I have. Carpet because at kos is still directly sitting on the floor. At least I can if I sit too long on the ceramic floor and feel cold.

I'm afraid there will be wet lungs or other diseases. The mattress will be placed on the carpet so that it does not directly touch the floor. Carpet can be said to be a mandatory object in my opinion. Unfortunately the price is quite expensive, almost 3 million rupiah was used up just for this.

As for mobile phones still buy the low end only. Because there is only a budget of about 2 million rupiah. Whether because of a trance or what, I bought 2 kinds of e-hape like this. One is from Japanese, the other is a local brand. Unfortunately, the local brand is still uglier than the other brand. Their prices are not much different.

But by buying this new phone, I can play smoothly with Banu. One of the decisions I don't regret about buying a phone. Unfortunately, this phone is a tragedy that I will tell you at a later time. Because it might be a long story. Maybe one day and one night I can tell you this.

With the electronic device upgrade, I had time to try for cashless life. But this habit does not last long, because I realize that e-wallets make it easier for us to shop because there is no need to bring cash. But because most only stores in the mole and the like we can use it applications, still make the cost of living becomes swollen.

It is clear that the price of eating at the mall and near the rented is very different. Especially the cost we spend if we can cook for ourselves. I suggest to those of you who contract alone, as much as possible learn to cook because it will greatly save your food costs. I also want to learn to cook little by little to reduce expenses.

Also, do not eat out often. As cheap as any store says it's discounted. The edges are actually more expensive if you continue to buy discount goods. Because the money stays out even though the item gets a rebate. At that time I was not very good at managing finances. Making the production swell. I hope you are not stuck with the same thing.

Especially eat when discounts are on the app. It is also actually a very clever trick. Indeed, if the discount will feel cheaper. But if because of the discount you buy more? the ends of the money you spend are the same as when the price of normal goods. Maybe even more because buying a lot of goods due to discounts.

This most likely happened to me by buying books and games in the stom. The discount bookstore made me buy more books from the budget I prepared. Computer games in Stom make me shop a lot of discount games that I do not know when I can play. because of course the busy work makes me not be able to spend a lot of time to play games like when school was.

Time wasted when I was coming home to take care of the contract. The more not used is the game that has been purchased. With that short time, I can only play mobile games that ‘he said’ spent a little time. But the time we play these games can be longer than PC games.

Only light and fast entertainment like watching movies and reading books can I do. What about you guys? Is your first payday also spent on buying useless items like this? Hopefully you can be wiser in using money. Because it is not easy to find money, let alone halal and blessings.

But you do not need to be discouraged, because sustenance will not go where. When the time comes, surely you will also get sustenance in accordance with your abilities. As long as you keep the effort, rely, and do everything the right way without using shortcuts or cheating.

From what I know, once you're cheating. The impact will not be felt anytime soon. But in the long run, I'm horrified to imagine. Anyway do everything the right way, the universe will definitely repay it right too. And vice versa. Do it the wrong way, the universe will definitely retaliate wrongly too. For those who believe. This is just an opinion, not a fact based on data.
