I hate being the family translator...
You know what the problem with being an immigrant is? The fact that some of them (i'm trying to be politically correct and all that stuff, i used "some") don't speak english half the time. Yes, yes, this is about my family, so i'll say what I god damn please. For those of you that have had the experience, doesn't it just pisses you off sometimes when you keep on having to do stuff for them b/c of the whole language barrier without actually any choice in the matter? Haha... my mom will probably kill me for posting this, loosing face and all that BS. So my mom heard about this job through a friend and obviously wants the job. But the problem is that she has to go through an agency, an english agency. There lies the problem. So she calls me down and tells me she need to discuss something with me. Discuss... like hell. So I go downstairs and she tells me I'm gonna have to go with her to the agency. Now, that doesn't sounds like a discussion, more like she's telling me to do something. So at first she wanted me to pretend to be her. And I thought: like hell. That was definately not gonna work. So now the plan is we both go in and I'm pretending to look for work with her, so I'll be doing the talking. We'll fill out the forms together, so I can help. And then we hope they'll call my mom back. What happens after is out of my hands. Now, if she can't get the job b/c her english is bad and can't pass the interview, then what's the point of me helping her anyway.... I'm just ranting and I'm probably not making much sense, but damn it... I had plans tomorrow and she just expects me to drop them b/c she needs something. I don't care about that whole "do what u're parents tells u b/c they're ur parents and raised u" BS. My mom was saying "go out tomorrow, we'll go tuesday cause u having fun is more important than me getting a job" (in mandarin of course), and I'm like "yeah, emotional blackmail works wonders on me" NOT. I hate how the entire chinese family dynamic is like a contract: since we raised you, you have to do exactly what we say for the rest of ur life. I'm so sick and tired of it. They had me b/c they needed someone to provide for them when they get old, someone to do things for them. Everything with them is obligatory. Damn it, Kelly isn't online to finalize the plans for tomorrow, and she's not answering her phone. I guess maybe i'll have to go with my mom tomorrow. Yeah, I know I'm a selfish bitch, get over it.
