i don't understand my job. i guess a lot of people would be thrilled to go to a job where he/she could just sit and do pretty much nothing, but it's pointless, isn't it? i mean..why even show up & use up electricity & other energy when nothing is being done on my part? if i'm getting paid for that, i might as well be paid for not coming in.
it's not even like i get n/e "sick days," really...cuz it's a korean company. and i'm supposed to get a week off per year, but i guess that was including the 2 or 3 days i called in sick. so i asked my eemo to have off next week, since i get it off for school, too. and...it's not exactly a whole week n/e wayz, since we get thanksgiving off...and the day before thanksgiving is only a half-day. so why i can't i just freaking have the week off??
her p.o.v. is pretty much the opposite. she's saying...well...we're gunna have thanksgiving off...and the day before is a half-day. so why not just stay the whole week? besides...we're supposed to get a bonus, so it would be kinda bad to get a bonus and then take the next day off. but she says i can leave a lil early on monday to pick up georgia from the airport.
this really really pisses me off cuz it kinda ruins some of my plans for friday. i was hoping to have the whole day off! errr...why can't it be like school, where we have a 4-day weekend?? geez. my week off from school doesn't really do me n/e good if this is the case. FREAK.
and then eemo goes off on how he's coming to visit me. what kind of friend would expect me to get time off work, blah, blah, blah. geez. what the freak. it's not like she doesn't know this one of my very best friends, coming to visit from GEORGIA. cuz i told her that. it's not like he can come EVERY FREAKING WEEK. geez. she told me that i should expect him to work around MY schedule, yada, yada, yada. well...i couldn't go into depth about my plans and exactly WHY i need to get friday off, but whatevers. ERRR
it's not that i'm not grateful for my job. really. i really am. my eemo went thru a whole lotta unnecessary crap...just so i could get this job. but it's totally not what i was expecting...and i'm working for a lot more hours than i'd hoped for. eemo said i need to learn to manage my time. well...it's not like i have that much free time to manage n/e wayz. if i spent all my waking hours that aren't at work STUDYING...well...i'd STILL not be studying enough. o dear. my advisor said that with all the classes i'm taking, i should be working about 10 hours a week...not 30, like i'm doing now.
eurus oppa said that that's what all advisors would say...that he worked about 30 hours a week w/about the same amount of units. *SIGH* i guess i'm just not cut out for this college/working life? but then again...it's not like he spent at least an 1 1/2 to 2 hours driving alone. he was close to his school & work. he could walk. i hafta drive in TRAFFIC. i know i'm complaining again, but isn't that what most of my thoughts usually are? complaints?? errr
n/e wayz...i'm going into all this other crap. back to my original thought: i come to work every freaking day...and sometimes i do a lot. but it's not like i'm busy every freaking day. why can't i just leave when i'm done w/what i gotta do? doesn't that make complete sense? i'm not getting paid hourly--i'm getting paid monthly. so...if i'm getting paid for a certain amount of work per month..i think i should be able to leave everyday when the work set aside for that day is done. at least then i won't be wasting extra electricity, water, etc., rite?
