Nice guys really do finish last
*This entry is for ranting. Don't bother reading if you don't feel like it*
I've heard it all my life, but I have always been told that I'm a nice guy. I do things for ppl when they ask, i do favors, i try to help ppl out. I don't know why, I just do. But it dawned on me the other day that it hasn't done me any good. Usually when you do something nice, karma comes around and gives you the 1 up, but I'm still waiting for it.
I've been a nice guy at work, doing everything I'm told, showing up on time, doing the best job that I can. If there's ever a day when its slow and someone can go home, I always tell other ppl to go home. And if someone wants to go home early, I tell them that I can cover the kitchen and they can go home. But no one sees me as a nice guy and a great employee. I don't ask for much. I was told I was going to get a raise from my current pay ($7.60) to something higher. I was told I was gonna get it within 2 or 3 weeks when I started working. It's been 5 weeks, and I finally got it: $8. It sucks, cause ppl that are getting hired are getting started at like, 7.50, and I should be getting like, $2 more than everyone else. Some of the ppl that work there get paid 7.50 and they absolutely suck at their job.
I also realized that I have let people walk over me my entire life. I don't stick up for myself. Ever. I hate being passive, cause I never get what I want. I'm too afraid to stick up for what I want, and always have to deal with what I get. I can't help it, that's just the way I am.
I doubt it'll happen, but I'm gonna try to be more aggressive with things. I'm prob. just talking out of my ass, cause I know it's not gonna happen.
There's something that's been bothering me for the longest time. I want to get it off my chest, but the thing is that I can't talk to anyone about it. I feel that things could change for the worse if I did. It's hard to explain.
Finally, I think this will be my last post. I was reading some of my old ones, and realized that all my entries were the same boring shit. I'll still read other people's, but don't expect to see another post from me. Adios
