Profoundly disappointed

[Stanley_9875]

Thats why I get really down when I go to work... its not what I want to waste my life right now doing. I love driving my car, its pretty much one of my escapes, to just cruise with my windows down blasting music, then I get to work and I scan paperwork... for four hours. May not seem like much, but to me its not fun. Stare at a computer, click "Scan" paper goes through scanner, save the document, start over. I feel worthless there. I used to get paid $7, then found out California Minimum Wage was $8, so when I asked my boss so that I can get paid minimum, she said, "we'll see" and I heard from someone else my boss thought I was asking for a raise and said, "He doesn't deserve a raise, I could go back there and do it myself." (and I know how much the other scanner is getting paid). I just feel like my ability is worthless there. I want to work on cars, thats what I'm going to school for and will be graduating in a couple months... hopefully new job soon (I enjoy going to my automotive technician college though)

Its just sad to see people constantly going about their daily routine not really looking outside at other things.

Well do something about it, don't waste one other day of your (your life is your own, not your bosses) precious life and time doing something that doesn't make you happy. By continuing to be stepped on like that you are simply handing your life and humanity over to your a**hole boss.

You're going to die your own death someday, might as well live your own life and do things that are important to you.

Ah, I love existentialism.

I know thats why I try to make work as enjoyable as I can, and its four hours out of my day, once I clock out and get to school my day turns out good and it's hard to get a job around here... trust me I've been trying

Ack, I'm sorry to hear this, ma tsmukan. I was posting on the AFs how undervalued and stuff I feel at my work. It's really not cool that they treat you like this. However, take hope in the fact that it's only temporary - you will certainly be able to find a more stimulating job after you graduate. Don't stress too much. Sadly we do need to earn money, though, so sometimes we get stuck doing things less of what we'd like. But, as I said - keep it in the back of your mind that it's just temporary. Hopefully soon you'll find a place that you fit right in to; your niche. Something you have fun doing, and with people who are fun to be around. And as Tsyal Makto said - enjoy *your* life. When you can, put work out of your mind and enjoy life. Drive with your windows down as often as you can Life is for living. While sometimes we do need to bear with things, know that life will eventually change, but enjoy it as much as poss in the meantime

thanks for those amazingly uplifting words *hugs*

yea I understand it's only temorary, just playing the waiting game right now lol

and yes, I drive with my windows down all the time, except when it's raining that's the only exception. I can't stand being cooped up without an outside breeze, I have to feel natures wind blowing through my hair and crusing listening go amazing songs that either bring me peace, or want to get me up and dancing, depending on my mood thanks again

Tehe I know what you mean, it's the best feeling!!! I also enjoy dancing in my pjs when nobody else is home. Today, after I finished work, was the first evening I knew I could relax (because I don't have work tomorrow for the first time in two weeks, WOO HOO!!!!!!), so I let myself listen to the soundtrack, and got all excited and yeah. Lol. It's so powerful.
Tomorrow I'm going to walk to the little forest in my area and sit barefoot under the trees listening to the soundtrack... I really can't wait. Soul time, finally

Sorry, really going off track from the actual subject of the thread.
