I hate my new job more than I hated the casino. It sucks. It's a very small company, and I have to do things like answer the phone (which I hate...especially when they are always dodging people they owe money), wash the dishes, and hike down 71st street in heels with an arm full or proposals that need to be bound. I keep thinking any minute they're gonna ask me to wash the toilets.
I get to do all that, and a bunch of other shitty things, like order lunch for a meeting that I'm sitting in on, then when the food comes, I'm asked to leave the meeting to go answer phones while everyone else eats the lunch.
I got in trouble for using my IPOD and cell phone, when I've used my IPOD ONCE...only when they had me decorating THEIR fucking office for Halloween. Cell phone usage? It's at a BARE minimum. I told them my son calls me once in the mornings and once in the afternoons so that I know he is where he needs to be because he's SEVEN and he has to stay home alone because I don't make enough money now to pay for before care.
THAT right there was a hard freakin' decision for me to make. Leave my 7 year old home alone?
I had to get a second job to try to make up for the money I am not making at this new place. It pays about $5,000 less per year. I called in today...I think I'm about to quit. I do NOT regret leaving the casino, and I won't regret leaving here either.
