My company is being screwed by exhorbitant increases to our annual premiums levied by the insurance company. I pay 80% of the premium, and the employees pay 20%. Changes to our policy coverage have been necessary in order to continue providing ANY coverage.

I'm being screwed by my company who keeps callin me on the weekend and begging me to come in and solve a crisis with the promise of being paid. For some families, I'd do it without a question. At other times, when I know it's not critical, I look towards that extra amount... since I already put in a minimum of 50 hours a week on a 40-hour salary. I've worked probably close to fifty extra hours in the past few months... my paycheck shows zero compensation. And apparently I do a good enough job to be called on the weeknd, but somehow I'm on probation for spending too much time with certain families and not enough with others. Am I just supposed to say, "Hey, sorry, I can't come see you today because your kid's not actively dying?" Oh hail, no.

I'm screwing myself over by continuing to be a friend and support person to my ex, and not getting anything in return but more tears and heartache. But at least I can admit it's stupid, that's the first step... right? Right??!!!

venting for 100

lets see i am a trained computer tech, network admin, and programmer working not 1 but 2 dead end jobs which do not colectively pay my bills.

One is actual tech work at a rate that is prolly 1/5th of the bare minimum for tech work and its only for one day a week, and its my good paying job, the one i treasure with all my soul (i need experiance im 18 after all)

the other job is retail, or as i prefer to say hell, i make less than i deserve even being unskilled labor, i work my ass off and treat the company right. For this i am given a wage jsut above legal minimum and far below what even my collegues make or started out making, i also worked 35.5 hours last week in this part time job woulda had more but they schedualed me to work on the day of my good job too, which is when i got to rip into my manager for the first time this week. in other words they think that due to a job title they are gonna screw me over for benefits, either im gonna start getting a reaosnable number of hours or i am just gonna say that i dont need the money that badly

*Edit* I forgot school so here we go, I am a computer science major so i need 4 years of undergrad math for my 2 year transfer, i graduated the day after i turned 16 but have been unable to do anything about my life until very recently becuase noone understand child labor laws and schools like to fuck over exceptional students

All of this and the thing that pulls me through is my girlfriend, or at least the thoguht of her i didnt get to see her for 5 days (our relationship is both new and close so we do out best to see each other daily) this was due to the fact that i was closing one night opening the next morning and closing the next night etc etc...

And when i do talk to her online not even see her its to fin out that she had been kissing a mutual (female) friend of ours (something which dosent worry me overly but she considers it cheating so im worried) who just happens to be my gf's old flame and who my gf jsut set up in her own relationship (which she plans to ruin)

Then I finally get to see her and she has strep throat (at least i hope its strep the friend had mono like 2 months ago), and is in a hyper but subtually foul mood (a bad sign for the sick a good sign its not mono), and she went from life and death guilty about the kiss BS to ignoring it and acting in ways that make me suspicious that something more is wrong than i know

So now i get to sit here and sweat my ass off wondeirng whats wrong with the only thing that allows me to get through my days.

On the positive not this weekend is gen-con and she is going, and im dragging frineds along if it kills me getting um there so i am gonna have some fun if it kills me

which wouldnt be so bad right about now

Well let's see, a month ago I had and apaartment that I shared with my then girlfriend. When my lease was due ( end of October) we decided to get another apartment, this time everything went into her name, though my name is on the lease. A week later the problems that had been brewing beneath the surface reared their very ugly face. Needless to say I am now living with my mom. A coworker and I talked about getting a place together, he has decided that he wants to wait a few months, and as of this writing I haven't the funds to get a place on my own.

Most of the problems the the gf are my doing and solvable, but it still doesn't help the fact that I did have a place to stay. Now I kinda feel like a heel. I will be able to get my own place in about a month. The issue with the gf is another story all in itself. I think we can repair them it will just take time and us haaving different addresses.
