Something for nothing

I don't feel well enough to do my stint at the charity shop, so I walked up and told them. It doesn't look good; last week I cancelled so I could prepare for my test. Next week I'm going to my brother's, so I'm going to miss that too. I don't care any more. I'm already giving my time four days a week for no consideration at all. The fact that I enjoy playing is immaterial. They're still getting me for nothing. The world is getting horrible, and expects people to work for nothing. I suppose it saves on wages. Am I cynical about it? Yes. You can't argue with the facts, however much people try to pretty them up.
