9 to 6 is like a hell nowadays.

Actually, I don't know hell. but, over time, it feels more and more that working 9 to 6 from Monday to Friday feels like being in hell. After the work time, I have no energy to work on something I love. wtf. I need to get out this circle of hell.

I wish I was a human being.

This is more of a rant than anything. Why can't I wear a fucking hat when I sit at a desk alone, in the middle of the night, bald and cold? Delusional. Why can't I grow a beard? “Because public interaction would be negative.” First of all, fuck the public. Second of all, the public doesn't give a fuck either. Lastly, I don't even interact with the public face to face. I answer the phone. When is the shuttle to Mars leaving cause I'm out of this bitch. I work inside an office room and I have a SEASONAL uniform. Long sleeve uniform shirts in the winter and short sleeve in the summer. Hello??? I don't even go outside. These basic, not impactful issues have been brought up to the highest authority and besides a simple no. No reason can be given as to why change can't be made. Brain…

Messed up with no recourse.

So where I work, I get paid under the table. Average week of work I'll make around $850-$900. I was sick all last week, my boss helped me out, gave me $420, to make it through the week , with the understanding that the next week, the $420 would come out of the next weeks pay. This week I worked 7 am to 730 pm all 5 days, which is not normal. Also did 5 higher paying repair jobs that are separate and pay more. This week I was given $400 through out the week. Today was payday, and was informed that I owe $200 bucks, even though I only received less than my normal average pay, and I know I made atleast an extra $150-$200. WTF.

Good excuses to call into work besides “I’m sick”

So long story short, my boss really screwed me on my schedule, I only had 1 day off this week, I missed out of seeing my papa for his birthday, he's not doing well health wise and just got out of the hospital. Plus I've had zero time to pack for my vacation. I take off this Tuesday early in the morning, I work Monday 8-4 and I'm wanting to call in so I can actually see my family before I leave and if course get my packing done. I need a good excuse besides “I'm sick” since I'm just about to leave for vacation. Ty!!

I can’t wait….to become the Grumpy man at work.

I'm 50. I still have $70k mortgage, but on current schedule, that will likely be paid in a couple of years…I'll be 52… After which I will no longer give a shit. In theory, I'll have 13 years to torment my tormentors before retirement… The question is how far can I push it….Who will I abuse first? The millennial manager who basically got promoted because he has a $700,000 mortgage? Or the guy who keeps fucking reminding me his wife is Danish. Or the guy who keeps eating his lunch right next to me and stinks out my desk..
