The Job

A few weeks ago when they laid people off, I told both Brad & Jeff that the night that I had to work out at the front desk & do night audit would be the night I turned in my resignation.

Last night was that night. One graveyard clerk called in sick, the other worked 1 hr. & went home sick. Which left Brad, the supervisor, Sheung Yi, a lead clerk, and me. And because I have this sick sense of loyalty to my fellow graveys, I bundled up my paperwork & went out to the front desk, complete w/a bank. I took in all of $9 in cash. When the morning shift came in they were looking at me like I was an alien.

I've been thinking that yes, the money is nice. I'm making more now than I ever have. I do have insurance, but w/a $250-per-person deductible, it's not as valuable as it once was. I've also been vested since July, which I tend to forget. I'm seriously beginning to weigh the pros & cons of my future, and I'm feeling very old & used-up. I hurt all the time. Within 3 hrs. of being on the desk my knees were (and still are) absolutely screaming, enflamed & hot to the touch. I took two tramadol before I even went out there & the pain is still incredible. My back is spasming. I have grown very cynical and weary.

I think it's time for me to find another job. And maybe, just maybe, once I'm settled in I can go have that drink w/Jeff.

Create An E-Nnoyance, Go to Jail

I'm hoping that link worked... anyway, I am a bisexual Pagan, pro-choice, childfree-by-choice, a Democrat, a softcore semi-femiNazi, in a semi-polyamorous marriage,  I support medical marijuana and the freedom of information. And I vote. I believe in sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. I am also chronically cynical, depressed and I work in a cubicle. My sisters have multi-cultural (aka mixed race) children. I am colorblind when it comes to people. Somewhere someone is annoyed by my very existence.

I believe that my anonymity should be protected on the Internet. I believe that your anonymity should be protected on the Internet. I believe in the freedom of speech and religious expression.

I may not accept your beliefs but I believe in tolerance and will fight for your right to say what you want to say. And if I don't like what you have to say, most of the time I am given an 'ignore' function or 'block' function by the web master. And ya know what? If you don't like what I have to say, I feel you should be able to 'ignore' or 'block' me, too. Or at least find another webpage to browse. Kind of like changing the channel on your television or picking up a different book or changing the station on your stereo or buying the 'radio edit' CD instead of the 'Parental Advisory' version.

If you don't want to use your right to 'ignore' or 'block' me, and you want the government to step in and do it for you: Fuck you.
