You know, I think I’m quite jealous right now. At the moment I’m looking for a job that will pay well enough so that I can relocate to the city and out of my mother’s house, and every place I go to I have to work my ass off, and to no avail career-wise.
And then I see my friends, whom I love dearly, but I want to strangle them because they ALL manage to make a killing off of doing less then I do. One makes 9 an hour bathing dogs, which admittedly can be a pain in the ass, but she sometimes goes on about her manager being an ass and how, screw it, she wants to make at least 10.00$ an hour at her next place. Then there’s one of my friends who has managed to slide through life, and he got into construction making a good eleven dollars an hour, plus benefits. Even the princess is making ten at his other job (the one he actually does care if he gets fired from, it seems). TEN, for doing practically NOTHING.
This sort of thing makes me shake my head and wonder, “where did I go wrong? How on earth do they do it? What am I doing to fail so bad?” I'm qualified in customer service, computer literate out the wazoo, have experience as a receptionist, have a background in canine care, genuinely likes to help people, and will give my all for my co-workers and my bosses, plus I have job loyalty (to the extent of unless they do something big, I forgive and forget). And I still can’t get a job other then close to minimum wage, and doesn’t give me scars I don’t want on my arms.
So in short; “I need some god-damn attention here”. Perhaps cuddles, more likely I need a good job that doesn’t screw me over and promise things that they later rescind. Oh yes, and the secret on how all of you manage to make so much.
