quitting your job
i did this today and **** it felt good
finally knowing that u only have 2 weeks left of the shitty job uv been in for near 3 years.
ive had a grin on my face for the last hour, and it took all my strength not to laugh in my managers face when i told him i was quitting
so for anyone who hasnt tryed this, i highly recomend it, give u a great high
im thinking of getting my next job just so i can chuck it in the next day :D
any then ur manager phoning u just now and saying "how bout and xtra 100 a week"
and still saying no make it even sweeter
what do you do.. (what DID you do) i'm looking for an extra 100 a week.. and why were you having sex at work anyways?
it was fastfood, ****ing shitty chicken treat, 7.80 an hour (im 17), and im pretty sure the manager mumbled sumthing about september when he said xtra 100 a week which coinincedentally is the samn month that i turn 18 which means a payrise
woopee for exploiting our teenagers! btw, they've just raised minimum wage...
errrr sex isn't the best thing in the world...
it can be ONE of them...
but the best...
noo...
oh and by the way.
just remember folks that we need to be content on where we live and how we take wages for granted. not saying that 7 bucks an hour is not shitty but here's a story.
my cousin who lives in asia goes to university in malaysia. she found a job in the paper where the university she was going to was offering a job...
so she worked there for an hour. and the boss said. okay, i'll call you when things get busy okay. and her wage...
"here you go" *hands her two dollars malaysian ringgit*
LOL
then she complained about the bus trip itself costing 50 cents.
then there are stories of where people work doing jobs that involve 7 day weeks from morning to late evening just to earn a few hundred bucks a month. this isn't slave labour mind you. this is their way of life. they have no rights, no overtime pay, nothing. again they are not being oppressed directly by people, but its just their way of life
so, all im saying is, by all means its good to look for jobs that are better and give you more fulfillment (and more pay of course) but if you're in a job and complain very heavily about ir, just think that it could be worse and you get handed 2 bucks of pay....
I Hear ya shithouse :) i have 2 weeks left as well. never been so happy about leaving b4.
You didn't quit..... You got fired.
Same theory.
exactly same result in the end :D

Yet a bus trip in Aus costs you $4...
Notice the difference here - the standard of living in Australia is very high so things are expensive. We are also the highest taxed country in the world. Therefore wages have to be at a certain level in order for a person to live.
The same applies to other countries as you have said, just in smaller quantities.
In saying that, I understand where you're coming from... and it's screwed up that people can work such long hours for shit all pay.

i never said i quit or got fired. do you have a job? have you ever had a job? and a real one, not ones selling hotdogs or scabbing a job off your dad?

Just to reprise my role as He Who Is Pedantic About Factual Stuff.
We definitely pay too much tax (and I have my fingers crossed for big cuts tonight), but we're not the highest taxed in the world: we're the highest taxed in the OECD. Try Sweden instead.
Secondly, rising prices have many causes, but in the long run it is inflation of the money supply that makes the difference: the amount of dollars growing faster than real wealth. This is particularly bad for lower income earners.
Oh, and we have a higher cost of labour, which means things cost more and there's more unemployment.
add one more to the unempliyment total in 13 days

yeah, but they have a more left wing government and get it back in the form of benefits like free health care, unlike us who have to pay for medicare, private health insurance etc.
