it's not like i don't need this job
i have to work to make ends meet
i can't quit...i don't have that choice
up against a wall of defeat
i work all day for little pay
and what i make all goes to bills
bill collectors are calling me
don't have a car or fancy frills
i'm doing the best job i can
my boss treated me like a jerk
twice today i dissolved in tears
been a very bad day at work
it was quite busy all day long
people kept coming in all day
trying to beat the heat, i know
it's friday--people got their pay
in the ungodly summer heat
had to check items off the truck
he assumed i would do this job
because i can...that's just my luck
have to work the weekend *again*
why can't i ever get a break?
when i ask for the weekends off
*that* winds up being a mistake
just had a vacation and now
i think i need another one
so damn frustrated with my job
and i can't talk to anyone
he wants his employees to care
but hurts those he depends on most
wearing me down, can't take much more
at the point of quitting? ALMOST!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i need a shoulder to cry on...that's
the reason for this post...i had a
really lousy day at work...i need
your prayers...desperately!!
thank you, my friends at AD, for
your caring and concern...many
(((HUGS))) to each of you. :)
love, karla. :)

Jeez gurl...this sucks. i had a stupid job once but I left it because I had another job waiting for me. Start looking for a new better job and once you get it - go and kick your boss' a$$!!
Take care gurl and hang in there, we all have our bad phases!

Well it could be worse....it could be me...Just kidding, probably most people sometime in there life wish they didn't have the job they have. It can eat you alive if you let it. Find the positives and dwell on them until you can do better. Keep your chin up and press on girl.

Hi Karla,
You can cry on my shoulder anytime you like. there is plenty of room! Getting it out is very
therapeudic. At least it is friday, but I'm sorry you have to work the weekend.
Stay strong and resolute, you'll make it. Gregg
