Ugh. I had an annoying last five minutes at work tonight. There was a sign by the timeclock that in my mind, I read as "Due to the economy being a big piece of shit right now, you are not getting a bonus this year".
WELL, that money was going to be our "Going to Ohio", a.k.a. vacation money. So, it looks like I may not need to decide between the reunion or the fair. It may be neither.
I know you're not supposed to plan on bonuses but damn it, I'm a good employee and I work my ass off.
I know there was a lot of swearing in there but I'm frustrated. We can't seem to get ahead. We were doing great and now I'm not working for 2 1/2 weeks.
Chad told me I need to look at the positives and realize that I'm lucky. I FINALLY like what I do... and I have a job. So yeah, I'm trying to be more positive, it's just hard sometimes.
P.S. I bought a lottery ticket tonight. That would be a MAJOR positive. ;o)

Will you remember the little people when you win the lottery tonight! I forgot to buy the winning ticket so you must be winning then! :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah it sucks, but Chad's right. You have a job and you like it. Not many people can really say that. AND you will be home next year sometime...I KNOW IT and your momma's ALWAYS right! :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't have any numbers...
ReplyDeleteSomeone won here in ohio for something, i knew i should have bought a ticket!
ReplyDeleteSome guy from Woo won $250,000! Bought it somewhere on Cleveland Rd
ReplyDeleteIt is frustrating. And there's no escaping it lately....
ReplyDeleteI would be so upset too.. It's so hard not to count on those bonuses esp. when you get them every stinking year but this rotten one.
