Somehow, my resume made it past through to the second stage. It's a job paying almost 6 figures when the most I've made in the past is $14/hr. Do I want to try for it? I have a guaranteed I can do position already lined up with a starting date and everything, but it pays half what this job would. Do I try to BS my way into the role? It's something I genuinely think I would love doing, and may even be good at.

that’s it

There’s a festival coming up in the town that the insurance office I work at is in. It’s in a few months. We apparently sit outside and hand stuff out all day on that Saturday. Saturday is normally our day off. We are a Mon-Fri office. I had a feeling I wouldn’t be getting paid for being here if I were to come to this event. So I told them it was mine and my husband’s anniversary of when we started dating. Which is not a lie. It actually is that weekend and it is a big year for us. But just out of curiosity I asked my coworkers who may be attending if they’ll be paid. I was told “no because we’re salary. It’s part of our job.” I get that salaried employees aren’t paid hourly in the same way hourly employees are. But salary pays for 40 hours…

I don’t understand what brought the human race to the point where we are slaves to work. Is life genuinely supposed to be set up for a 9-5. Like what is considered “life” cause it’s definitely not life when I’m working. It’s definitely not life when I’m sleeping. Both of those things take up considerable amounts of my time. So when the fuck do I actually get to “live”. Only on my days off? Only when I have free time? That’s total bullshit. The way life is set up I will work my next 40-50 years and if I’m good enough with my money I will be able to retire. By that time I will be in my 70s. Average lifespan is 75 so if retirement is the end goal I will only truly get 5 years of my life to “live”. I’m sick and tired of this shit and…

To put it lightly, she loves to try and victimize me. Constantly saying I leave the store trashed, which is untrue. I work with a bunch of men and since I’m the only other woman, loves to try to devalue me lol. I’ve started blocking her as soon as I get out of work. On the days I do work, I’ll unblock her.

Never been. Currently don't have a reason to go but when I think about the cost of living, and how I spend my day each day to afford said cost, I start to think that perhaps being in gaol isn't such a big compromise. Free food, free time from not having to prepare food, also more free time because you're not working, free electricity, free shelter, free water. To me it seems you give up some freedom for many more free perks.

Anybody else getting fucked on their taxes this year? I fall below the poverty line, have worked at the same job for two years but this year the IRS are saying I owe them money because I got a dollar raise in August (working part time) and made more last year than the previous year with an estimation of $200 back when last year it was $2000 back. I can barely even afford to eat yet I have to pay so much in taxes and don't even get them back? LOL ABOLISH THE GOVERNMENT AND IRS ONCE AND FOR ALL
