Day 5

May 20, 2009 15:49

The last three days have been full of work. Its all I've been doing since the week started. I'm working at Joe's company (pompano engineering). I'm not the guy sitting at the computer, or organizing shit inside; I'm the guy who works outside with three spanish speaking, english lacking brothers. They're alright guys, but who wants to work outside in the heat with people who don't even speak the same language as them? No one does and nor do I.

Monday and Tuesday I had to wake up at 6am because I work from 7am to 330pm. Today I was forced to be awake at 4am. Joe is going out of state to bury his dead mother. It's a five day trip, starting from what Joe thought was today. It wasn't today. I drove my mother and Joe to the airport at 5am just to have to turn around five minutes later to pick them up. Joe, that dumb ass, had the date wrong. The flight it tomorrow.. which means I'll be waking up at 4am again then too. :(

I got paid today because Joe won't be in town when I should get paid (end of the week). I make 9.50/hr * 40hr/week = $380. That gave me a little bit more incentive to work. Then I thought about it. I don't want to be working for Joe. I don't want to be working at all. So why put too much effort into this job? The worse that will happen is that I get fired and get to go back to lounging around all day. So it's win/win. Make money or live a dull but relaxing life.

I don't have too many complaints about Joe's recent actions. He woke up in the middle of the night and walked into the kitchen, where I was nuking up some food, completely naked. I already told him I don't want him to be doing that.
