employment has always been an interesting situation. you go and do whatever some schmuck tells you to, and you walk home every week or two with some money. sometimes when you work hard enough or play your cards right, you become the schmuck who pays other people do to what you tell them to. it's a barter of money for time or vice versa, but it's always been an odd pairing.
what i think is the most odd is how someone judges what they think another person's time is worth. i have worked in many different positions that were esentially the same thing, but the pay scales attached to each individual job were wildly different. it's not to say that one job was more difficult than the other, meriting higher pay, it just seems that the schmuck signing checks saw it in his heart to give more compensation for my time... i still don't understand why one job paid better than the other.
billege, enjoy the position you have, it sounds like even though it's menial, it affords you benefits, both financially and otherwise, that will help you move further in your life. although you may not take much satisfaction from the position, you have a very generous schmuck signing your checks, enjoy that for as long as you can, and make sure you find an equally generous schmuck before parting ways with the first.
