bleeeeeeerg...

work. have I told you how much I hate work? *sigh* why why why was I born to be a spoiled rotten princess?

It's horrible, the rest of the fam has this puritan-german work ethic--it's scary. BG has had a job since she was 14, can you believe it? she hounded the local pizza place into hiring her under the table--(what? it's New Jersey--it's tradition). Mr. Roxy has worked since he was knee high to a grasshopper. And me? I got my first job at 16--and my next job at 21. It was sadly downhill from there, except for a brief period in time after BG was born and I got to be a stay at home mom. More on that another day (oy!)....

I asked for a transfer to the new Targe-hell they are building not far from the Rose Castle. I have to wait until January to find out what's what. If I last that long. Target is a weird place to work for. It *is* like working for family though. A huge dysfunctional family, with a repressive and over controlling distant father who makes up arbitrary rules and and only tells half the family about them and punishes the half that doesn't know what they are...*gasp* why, it's just like coming home everyday I go to work!

Kidding! pretty much

Goodness! Is that the time? Must dash! See you in your lj :)

I feel your pain. Pizza Hut is the same damned way.

What is it with these people?! My boss thinks I need another mother. I just want to scream "I have two, damnit! I don't need another one!!"

So, yeah, those Dilbert cartoons? Frighteningly like reality.

What part of NJ are you in? My company has a big presence in Mount Laurel, and they're very cool to work for.
