Ik this is off, but I am so fucking sick and tired of dealing with the. They always have to be right I always have to listen to them I always had to do what they say. I’m 23 I should be able to tell them to drop dead and go to hell. But I can’t I gotta be stuck here listening too boomer pro trump rhetoric Bullshit and then saying how I am lazy cause I don’t want to work 2 jobs while in college.

Occasional free time due to weather, shipping fuck ups, etc. The five people are contracted (1099 nec). Paid in gross, no healthcare, no benefits. We make $20 an hr, daily time and a half (typically 10 to 12 hr days), halftime for in the van travel (foreman maintains the work van/trailer), and hotels paid for. Food is on us.
