How come whenever I make a post like my previous one i always end up sounding whiny? I meant it to sound sarcastic/funny, but when I re-read it it sounds like I’m whining. I think that’s why i don’t post very often, what I write never sounds like it does in my head. I read all these great posts by everyone else and theirs are so flowing and clear, it really impresses me. Then i sit at the keyboardI get a mental traffic jam. The good thing is I know that writing is not in my future. And that’s one more career I can eliminate.

I hate my job. It’s really that simple. Sometimes I think I’m depressed or angry or need psycho-therapy, but no, I just hate my job. Case in point: I am not getting paid for Memorial Day, a paid holiday. Why? you ask. Apparently there’s this rule, if you don’t work the day before or the day after a holiday, you don’t get paid for that holiday. Well I called in the day after Memorial Day because I got home from NY so late in the day. Mikey runs heavy machinery. Running heavy machinery while tired is not a good thing. I felt I did what was in the best interest for everybody concerned, so of course I get the shaft. Everytime I do something that I think is the right thing, bads things happen to me. Needless to say, I’m dusting off my resume this weekend. I’m sure I’ll take a pay cut wherever I end up, but it just doesn’t matter anymore.
