I was talking to someone who used to work where I am employed now. I mentioned that I get $5.50 an hour as my pay. This genius tells me I am stupid and that she did the same job for 7.
You know what bitch? I DON’T CARE. Unlike you, I have a work ethic. I do what I am supposed to do. If I have extra time, I don’t talk to other employees, I look for more work. I do the best I can.
One of the managers was talking about you with a waitress yestrerday. She said you quit before you were fired. Now, from previous experiences of your jobs, I can guess that you don’t work. You sit around and talk while others have to fill in. No, I know this, because that is what you tell people.
And now you tell me I am stupid for taking a job that I like, and getting only 5.50 for it? FUCK YOU.
I have this feeling that I will be saying that a lot more as people laugh at how much I get paid. You know what? I put minimum wage on my application. I am happy to be working somewhere that I can walk to.
Besides, by walking to work, you aren’t paying for Gas, Tires, Oil, Wear and Tear, and other automobile related costs. (Heck, you may not even own a car!) This lowers your base “need” thereby increasing your earning “value”. Think of the savings! (Not to mention how Green you are - Mother Earth is giving you a big hug and a wet sloppy kiss with tongue right now.)
Heck, that’s gotta be worth at least 65 cents an hour. Then there’s the happiness factor. Definately more than likely to make up for the rest.
Good for you.
More pep talk:
[li]Money can’t buy happiness; however, it can buy things that can make you happy.[/li][li]Money can’t buy love. Love can be rented, though, you just have to pay by the hour.[/li]I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. Being poor sucks.
On the other hand, knowing that your employer is willing to pay $7/hr is a good thing to know. There is certainly notihng wrong with making $5.50, but there isn’t anything right about it either–you dosn’t get moral points for accepting less than you are worth. When you’ve been there three months and done good work, be sure to ask for a raise. I mean, if they don’t pay you what you are worth, it’s not like they are gonna donate the money to charity instead.
Dragon, dude, you know this person is an idiot. First, why worry about what she says? Second, why even believe her? There’s no reason to think she’s telling you the truth about how much she was making.
Let it go, and be thankful you don’t have to pick up her slack.
I only get 5 bucks an hour. Sad, but true. Besides, being a stupid bitch this person is either A) lying, B) trying to be obnoxious because she’s a stupid bitch or possibly c) all of the above.
Glad to see it doesn’t bother you. -grin- Keep that up, kiddo.
GOt back from 5 hours of work. Right now my feet are killing me. I had to clean the restrooms too. But ya know what? I am glad to be getting paid for it. I get .154 cents a second.
