So I got my promotion. I now work as a sales assistant for a promotional product company.
It was a long and hard process, the worst of it was the time I had Tish as my boss. Tish is a bitch (and im being kind because i really want to use the c word to describe her). She is abusive (called me retarted infront of my dept, the S.A dept and anyone withing earshot. She is narrow minded and worst of all she belives in work beuracrecy. I personally belive in a more relaxed work enviorment without red tape. I dont know maybe im a socialist.
There was a point during the whole process where i thought i would be paid less than the other S.A's because i still dont have my college degree. Yeah I heard this excuse allot, you cant move up in the company "you dont have a college degree", you cant get paid like the rest "you dont have a college degree", you cant get naked in the office "you dont have a college degree".
Okay maybe not that last one. Well through hard work (or fear of getting fired) I have beaten the odds.
Still I will never love my job. Its a uselss job, I make sure people get their stress balls, pens, frisbees, basically the free crap they give away. I highly doubt in a 100 years my decendants will open up the grand vault of stress balls and say "Look little David IV this is where our accestor helped save the future with stress balls". Yeah not gonna happen.
If i get a chance to jump ship, belive me I will. Like every job this job has its problems. Luckly my days are less stressed now that I pretty much govern myself. I have no manager. The person i assist is a flake. And best of all the i get along allot better with the folks i work with.
I only wish i could get a decent time off plan (thats a whole other post) and being able to play music would be nice.
