When it's all fun and games....

Someone once told me that work should be something that you can make fun. It helps the time pass and it makes things just seem easier and stress free. Wow, were they ever full of shit.

Lately, work has been anything but stress free. I literally loathe getting up in the morning to go to work. Used to be that I had absolutely no issue with getting up, having breakfast and getting to work on time. Those days are long gone. Now it's a struggle just to drag my ass from bed in time and generally I'm 10 - 15 mins late everyday.

May make someone wonder, what happened to change it all? the owners of the business changed it all.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that every business needs structure. I know that there are rules to follow. That's not my issue at all. Quite frankly my issue is this, I HATE having someone breathing down my neck every 30 seconds to watch what I'm doing while I work. I'm 36 yrs old, you ask me to do something, I do it. I don't need someone to hold my hand, coddle me or make me feel like I need a babysitter. I'm quite capable of doing any task laid out before me. But lately, all I have is someone sitting there, over my shoulder, scrutinizing my every move, every decision and my every thought. It's a real piss off.

And then there's the promises, "Oh don't worry, we'll give you Mon-Fri 9-5" (that one was 2 months ago) or my personal favorite, "We discussed the idea of a raise and deemed it unnecessary" or better yet "No one on this planet is worth more than minimum wage". I'm sorry, last time I checked, minimum wage does not allow anyone to get anywhere in the world other than deeper into debt. That one was from the crotchety old German who draws a nice hefty salary to do nothing but sit on his ass and breath down my neck the entire time I'm at work.

I've already looked into other companies that provide auto-detailing services, pay starts at $13.50/hour and minimum 10% commission for every car through. Literally I'm tired of being taken advantage of. Before anyone jumps in and asks why don't I go somewhere else to do it, I've already looked into it.

Just had to get that off my chest.
