Reviews.

It's 1 o'clock in the afternoon here and I'm at home on my 1 day off for the entire week, I was going to go out and get something done on my long list of things to do (that I haven't been able to do because I have to work so much), I decided that I need to rest my body on the one day that I get to be off.


If you can imagine I've been home resting but also applying for jobs and I've finally set my plans for the GRE in July.


The thing about this job and the stress I've been feeling is that for a moment I was starting to think that it was just me. I would see other people at work who've been working there as long as me and they don't seem as stressed, but then I realized that many of them were doing different parts of the job and not the same as what I've been doing which is a lot more stressful. Anyway, I was starting to wonder if maybe I was just complaining too much so I decided to go and look up more reviews for the job I'm doing and you know what? It's not just me!


This job has some of the most terrible reviews of any job I've ever seen, and what's sad is that the terrible things people are saying about this job are all true, they are true because I've experienced it. Including the one about feeling like a slave. The thing I've come to realize is that this job is so terrible that they have no choice but to keep the pay rate moderately high and hire extremely poor people (like myself) to get people to stay. Today while I was looking for and applying to other jobs I realized that there are so many jobs that don't pay at the rate I'm getting paid at, but the truth is that it's not the pay rate that matters, many of the jobs I have been looking at and applying to don't pay as much but at the same time I would end up getting more in benefits and the luxury of the job itself.


Another thing I discovered is that TT did have a soft spot for me, I say that because she was in charge of making the schedule and now that she's gone they have really been giving me the worst of it, but TT never did that to me, if she knew I didn't like something she would do her best to accommodate me, not always, but she tried and she made working there less of a nightmare. Since she's been gone I've been trying so hard not to quit because there are still some things I need to buy and some bills that need to be paid, but mostly I want to make sure I have another job before I leave.


Well I think I'll get a bit more rest until I write again.
