New news for all?

Aug 04, 2004 02:49

Recently things actually have been happening... i'm leaving for six flags in about 12 hours, where I will remain until Friday afternoon. It should be a good time and I hope some people will come to go with us! In worst news my court date is also in about 12 hours, and I need to win this ticket, I didn’t break the law, and rightfully should not be fined, but not only can I not afford the ticket, it may mean to loss of my license, which I will not be able to handle with college coming along, and 200 dollars already spent in parking permits. As for my job, we might be going on strike. I went to a meeting last Sunday, and rejected that shitty contract they gave us, offering nothing more than 25 cents per hour. I don’t expect more, but benefit wise, I will lose any overtime pay that I frequently get over 36hours, and I will only be guaranteed 15 hours INCLUDING Sunday. This could possibly bring my paycheck from an upwards 300 dollars to around 100 if the crunch goes in effect. They also decided that to earn vacation you must work 986 or something hours just to be able to receive your paid vacation, instead of the past 250 needed prior. The company has already laid off 11 full time employees, many whom which have been with the company 10+ years. One employee, a single mother is now left without a job so Albertsons can save their 5 dollars and hour and replace her with part time help, whom which will work her full time hours (40+) with no overtime pay. I am not happy with the company, and would greatly love to see they lose a few millions of dollars before I go away to college. Some friends of mine are crossing the picket line, I dont agree with them, and wish they wouldnt, because they are hurting everyone else who is fighting for the company. They are my friends, so I will not treat them like shit when it happens, but just wish they would reconsider, either A) Finding a new job, or B) Waiting to see if it ends soon, if not, then crossing. I know where they are coming from... I need the money too, I have no money to go to college with, and am unable to pay my car insurance, but I still will not cross the picket line, its not right.

God do I hate shaws and the way it is run.... thats all im going to say....

Im hoping maybe since Dirksmire left town, my only willing witness for court, that maybe Bridget, or Lauren will come with me, or at least sign a witness statement to help me out... I will call them in the morning, even though they dont talk to me anymore... I feel bad for what I did to Lauren, but she is going back to her old ways of just ignoring me, and probably saying shit about me... not to mention treating me like crap if I do talk to her... Wish she would stop being stubborn cause I really do wanna be her friend, only if she realized I can be a nice person, and I am sorry for leading her on, it was wrong, but at the time I had no clue what I was doing.

As for Colleen, I really am glad I dont have to deal with her shit, and I think us not talking is a good thing, its making sure many of things don't get messed up

Im going to bed now, considering it is 249AM

Night,
Bill
