Work is SOOOOOOOO slow!
I don't know if its this slow because I'm actually taking care of the work as soon as it gets on my desk or if its because business is actually not doing very well....
Either way....I hate this.

I COULD ask other people if they want me to enter anything in for them to give myself something to do but why should I do their work for them? they never ask me if I need help and I certainly never give them any of my work unless I absolutely need their assistance and even then, I've already done most of the work I just ask them to double check it. Mike's mom (my ex-boyfriend's mom who is like one of my bosses) helps more than anyone else. but its never by doing my job. Its by showing me how to do something in the computer or something. Besides, at the pay rate I'm at.....why even bother? I'm certainly not going to bust my ass anymore than I have to when there isn't a pay raise in sight and I'm on the verge of needing a second job.


I'm actually toying with the idea of getting a new job. a new full time job. I know some places that are opening up job positions and stuff and I could get another sales job. Working with a UNION. I hear their benefits are awesome! AND I'd probably be getting paid a lot more. I plan on applying in September. Its so sad....I could be getting paid MORE as a cashier. a freaking cashier!!! Less work, less stress, and more money?!?!?! HELL YEAH!!!

Sure the job I have now will potentially offer me better opportunities WAY in the future but seriously....I'd have to get a degree to expect that and I can't afford school with the money I'm getting paid. not even community college. Its sad because when all is said and done I really like my job and I find it interesting.... but its getting to the point where that is no longer enough. I can't LIVE off of this job. I can't even support myself with this pay. not even slightly. What is going to happen when I decide to start a family??? I wont be able to afford it! I can't just be like "so now that I'm starting a family, I guess you'll start paying me more"

When I was moved to plastic sales I took the place of someone who has been in the business for at least 20 years. He got paid MUCH more than I did and all I get was a $10 an hour pay rate. and I know I'm not the greatest sales person out there but I'm doing pretty damn good for only being in it for a year. I also know that everyone in the company is dealing with pay cuts right now but I'd LOVE to see them try to live off of my salary. I don't think any other full time person gets paid as little as me. Hell I Know for a fact that PART TIME people are getting paid a lot more than me!

I call bull shit.

that does sound like total bullshit. You should ask them for a raise!!

At my current job, my hours suck, but the pay is good (for part time). Sometimes I think about looking for a new/supplementary job, but I can't for time now that school's started back up.

Good luck finding a new/better job! :D
