Hi HIVE friends in this community, I am very happy to be involved in Week 180. And I'm happy that there are always new topics that are raised here, topics that are not too heavy but always make us have to immediately write our writing because time keeps moving backwards before the time expires..ha..and I will raise one of the topics. which I hate on weekends.
My husband and I are teachers who are required to always look neat. Actually, there's no need for that, but because I'm used to ironing clothes, and so is my husband, I feel like I don't feel confident if my clothes don't look neat and wrinkled, even though I don't have clothes from good brands. However, looking neat is my key to always being confident
And herein lies the problem, when we enjoy beauty or beauty everything requires sacrifice, and my sacrifice is time. Actually, I really hate this job because I can't stay in this job and I can't alternate it with my other jobs. I have to focus on doing my job so that even though I am a little tired from work, I have to iron my clothes.
When I iron, I do it on Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon before I go for a walk with my husband. And because I do this ironing job once a week, the clothes that haven't been ironed pile up like a mountain and before starting I can only look at them while complaining a little. Sometimes I think about how it is possible that at every event I always complain that I don't have any clothes while my clothes are really piled up, and it turns out this is how women are and I can't deny it.
Even though I don't like this job and always disturbs the peace of my weekend, I always do this job whether I'm forced to or not for several reasons:
1. I don't trust other people
In Indonesia, especially in my city, there are still many human workers who can be paid to be called to come to our house and iron our clothes. and when finished, we will pay directly according to the price agreed at the beginning, but several times I have called this ironing service and have changed people, the results are still not according to my standards, because the fold lines of our shirts and trousers are more than one and I'm very upset
2. Unsatisfactory laundry results
Not only did I call someone home for ironing, I also sent my clothes to a laundry specifically for ironing several times, but maybe because the clothes that had been ironed were pressed too hard while they were still hot and put them in plastic, the result was that when they were taken out, the clothes- the clothes actually became wrinkled again and as if they hadn't been ironed, I was very disappointed.
It's for these reasons that I still do it myself even now, even though I'm tired. and are there any of you like me and hate this job a little, let's share the story and my best regards from Maytom, Indonesia
