My employer pays me as much as she can afford, so far none of my paychecks have bounced. I love my job, and when I walk in the door every day, I am glad to be there. I've worked lots of crummy jobs in the past, jobs that didn't use any of my skills or appreciate my talents (or my wonderfully sarcastic sense of humor). I tell you, how I feel, and how I am treated means a LOT more to me than my rate of pay. I'm probably one of the very few people blessed with a job they love though. At the end of the day (2:15pm is quitting time, as that's when my son gets out of school) I am always asking myself, "Gee is it time to go home? I wish I could stay at work longer!" My boss assures me that things will pick up in the spring, and I can get more hours, right now, she can only afford to pay me for 20 hours a week. I knows it's highly off topic, and should probably be discussed on the OT list, but here's the link to where I work (just don't reply about it on this list, ok, I'll cc it to the OT list too so we can move the topic there): http://www.crystalisinstitute.com
Oh, speaking of that, any newbies here (as well as seasoned members), you are invited to the FELVOT list any time, just sign up and send me a note telling me who you are on this list, and I will add you. It's only open to members of this group. It's where we take over-flow OT chit-chat from this list: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felvot/ Phaewryn http://ucat.us The easy way out has a bad reputation. Why would anyone take the hard way out? "The door? No thanks, that would be the easy way out. I'm jumping out the window." Quote by: Les U. Knight
