grumble

[synapticjava]

I'm thinking of putting in my notice at Omax. I know that this would be stupid since I have no other job waiting and my track record for finding a job isn't very good. I just found out today that about a month ago, when I was knee-deep in inventory prep and freaking out and stressed out and working more than I should...all the other managers got raises. I'm now the lowest paid member of our management team, even though - no exageration - I put in the most actual work. I just can't beleive they did this to me. I've worked so hard for them, gritting my teeth and bending over backwards. It's just not fair.

Today is defintely one of those "I'm so tired of this" days. Tired of this crappy job, tired of looking for something better but always coming up short. Tired of feeling so unneeded/wanted. Just tired. I thought things were going to get better, but they haven't. It's the same. /pitty party.

Things will get better. I just have to try a little harder, search a little more. I just never thought I'd be the type of person to settle on something that I hate so much. I'm kind of dissapointed in myself, honestly.

Edit: Just a bad day. Tomorrow'll be brighter.

Blimey mate - you're only - what? 23?
A bit early to be disappointed with your achievements.
You've put yourself through college - that's a big thing when you have to pay everything yourself.
Maybe you just need to give yourself a break.
You're paying the rent, right?
Just keep on until you find something better.

Okay, so, you find this out...are you going to talk to anyone about it? Maybe schedule a meeting to find out *why*? Ask them for a performance review and then ask them for a raise?

I dunno - you've been working most of the time i've known you - totally up to you, but i wouldn't stay where i was unhappy and unappreciated.
*hugs*

Keep yer eyes on the prize: sweet, sweet grad school.

And remember: if you get into the UW you can spend weekends smoking with my mom and playing with my parents' dog. Everyone's a winner!
