Ranting
Okay, I know I haven't written in a while, so my rant privileges are probably suspended, but I really don't care. I need to vent.
I'm SO tired of being the good girl. Go to college, get your degree, get a better paying job. I make 5.35 an hour with no raise in sight. My brother quits a 10.00 an hour job, leaves for Columbus, gets a 7.50 an hour job, while waiting for to take a test for the post office that will enable him to make 18.00 an hour WITH BENEFITS. He flunked out of college.
I hate the fact that my college education is now hindering me more than its helping me. I can't use standard english in the chicken house, because if I do, the customers won't talk to me. I can't get a higher paying job (by higher, I mean six or seven dollars an hour) because I'm "over qualified" with five years of college behind me. I'm overqualified to bring some drunk-ass rat bastard his food and beer because I can speak better than the manager of the entire damn restaurante. I'm overqualified to be a shift manager because I have to be able to talk to the customers on their level. At length.
Being educated is becoming a hindrance to basic survival, and frankly, I'm getting sick of it. I'm down in the dumps all the time now because of it, and its driving me insane.
I haven't ignored all of you on purpose-I just finished my finals for summer session one today and I start session two tomorrow. Lori, you and yours are in my prayers. I hope your grandmother gets better soon!
Kayla-have I got a book for you to read! Oh, and make sure you visit the lemony snicket website. it has something very interesting on it....
the rest of da bunnis...I hope you all are well, (and that jess gets her job!)...Hopefully I'll see all of you soon.... by the way, kass, I can't make it on thursday, I got called in to work (four people quit in the past week. Love all of you!!!
