We're ookaaaay! =D
I'm in my second week working this forty hour a week jobby job. Where am I working?
There isn't a specific site... The entire region I call home would be the best description. In this case, The Bay Area. >_> And I've worked all over it. I'm exhausted, but it's more to do with what goes on after work: I'm still working. I don't like that. I clock in, I do my time, I clock out... and then work gives me s**t to do that's work related in my free time. I no likes.
I seriously hate it. It interferes with my personal life, and I don't like that. I already have little room in my car. My job gives me s**t to take home that takes up space in my car, as if I don't use it or need it ever? D<
I didn't mind certain things going in my car-the things I'm supposed to sell, for example... but then they added the s**t that is supposed to be used to set up a table... and the table itself. D<
Tell me if you've ever tried to fit a goddamn table into the trunk of your car? D<
Tell me if you have to do it on a regular basis because it's job-related, and it wasn't included in the job description when you were interviewing for the job?
And I'm not going to be paid for the first three weeks of my working with this company. The bright side is this means I have about another week to go before I get PAID at long ******** last. The gas is not cheap, and remember that they have me going every which way, with locations taking as long as an hour for travel time to get to the site. I've lucked out this week so far getting one location that was fifteen minutes from home and another that is about a half an hour. Unfortunately, "Half Hour" has been done twice and there's a chance me and my partner will have to go back there again tomorrow.... but there's also a chance our boss will flip the ******** script on us in as little as a few hours before we're supposed to be there. It was fine when they warned me about the sudden change: it was a time difference of twenty minutes between the location I was going to go to and the location I would suddenly have to leave for instead. It meant I had to leave the house earlier.
I would have liked a night's ********' warning, but I had at least an hour so I had time to prepare. My partner lives further away from me and the site, and she wasn't answering her phone, so when she finally found out about the site change, could you tell she wouldn't be happy? She was late because the travel to this location is an hour for her. Or roughly forty minutes.
It might be thirty or so for me, but it's fifty to an hour for her.
This job makes me feel extremely nervous about how I'm going to get there each day.
And I don't know where I'm going tomorrow. We get schedules but they're essentially meaningless if your intended site is changed daily. The only thing you can trust the set schedules for is the starting and ending time. -_-; At least THAT much is more or less stable. I had about an hour's overtime one night, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to get counted. >_____>;
WTFever.
I just want to make my pay check, pay for the important stuff, be able to lead a less stressful life outside of work...
But the a*****e step dad goes out of his way to try to make things unnecessarily stressful. -_- Don't even want to get into that right now. I just want to sleep.
