No Pitty

Some of the manufacturing people have been bitching at work about our new "2nd shift". Which is not a true second shift -- it is 7 hours a day mon-friday with saturday's manditory every other week. This shift offers a 10% (I believe) differential for working these hours. Some people where hired in a while ago -- knowing full well that they would have to work the second shift -- and are really bitching and complaining about how it's "not fair." Then they started talking how some other company is paying $14 to $16 across town and they need people. They thought that was great money. Most of these people are like in their 30's, 40's, even early 50's -- they think that is good money? I'm 22 and make more than that an hour. I would scoff at $16 an hour.

They are also complaining b/c of the saftey goggles that they have to wear now... from a combination of things -- one woman got stuff in her eye, and some other stuff happened. So now they're bitching about that too. Get over it people! You signed up for this job! Just do it. And quit making mistakes!

I still really don't have anything to do at work -- it's slowly picking up -- but I'm still bored. So feel free to IM me or email me or whatever at work. I'm sure I'll answer.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
