Another Lame Saturday...

Welcome Back Blog Readers,

Yep Yep, You guessed it... I'm posting this from work... It is Saturday after all, which means another lame Saturday shift.

This last week as a whole has been very frustrating and tiring. My Boss is out in England until Thursday, so I'm the lucky one that gets to cover for him.

I am getting sick and tired of being the company door mat, and I will give my boss a day or two to get back in the swing of things before letting him know how I feel.
Basically giving him a chance to offer some sort of compensation for the fact that I'll be working close to 60 hours, but only getting paid for 40 hours. I'd like to get paid for the extra time that I've put in... I don't think I will... I didn't last time I was here for 6 weeks while the company was looking for a new Manager.

I'll try to explain how things work.. I can see where there may be a little confusion I am a salary paid employee... Non managament...My salary is based on an hourly rate at 40 hours/week. Which seems reasonable, but that's how the company gets around paying for overtime. I'm not too bothered if I work 41-45 hours every once in a while... but to work 50+ hours and only getting paid for 40 hours isn't right.

I'd even settle for a few paid days OFF As it sits now, I'm not due for vacation time until December (1 week/ 40hours) and I think I may have 1 sick day left(out of 3).... More than likely I'll be offered to go home early without pay of course... or have the option of coming in a little late....or at the very least, I'll get a "Thank You"....

At this point I am seriously considering looking for another job. I just want to know that I'm not going to be stuck making the same piddly amount for the rest of my life. I need to know that as the cost of living continues to rise, so will my income. I know the economy is in a bit of a slump right now and I should be gratefull I even have a job,when there are so many people that don't. I think you all know where I'm coming from though...

*Changing the subject*

I'm still having trouble sleeping... the last few nights have been the worse yet, I have been able to get 2-3 full hours in along with a lot of tossing/turning. It's the falling asleep that is the hardest part.. Still having 101 things on my mind going at mach speed. I will admit that last night was an improvement though.
I still refuse to resort to drinking/ sleeping pills for the fear of addiction. A fear is all that it is, since I've never been addicted to anything... ok ok EU/PE but never a subtance abuse. To be completely honest, I've never experimented with drugs for that reason. I just don't want to associate drinking with sleeping... if that makes sense...

*On another note*

We have 2 new PE Addicts!! Runeswan and Leo are a nice addition and I am confident they will feel at home with us.

I'm still hoping to find 2 more players to add to the roster. 1 more from North America and 1 from anywhere

The PE Addicts have been on FIRE!! this last week! Many globals and HoF's and I finally hit the mother load after 2.5 years! An Uber loot of 4232 peds from a Daikiba Provider I shared with my soc mates before the impulse shopping began. I bought a few 5B plates to add to my Gremlin, bought a enmatter 103 amp, and a 103 amp for my Shriek Back Alley... a few bp's, some materials for crafting textures, and a few small chips to regain what I lost in chipping out a few months ago....Now I'm trying to make the remaining peds last as long as possible.... We'll see how long that lasts...

*sigh* Other than that... not much more to report...Rightfully I have another 2.5 hours to go before the end of the day... OHHHH just got the update, we are closing in 30 minutes SWEET!!!! In that case I have to receive the order before we close...

Thanks again for reading/listening.....
