End of CRAP!

So i got hired at gringos, and i thought all might be well. BUT things are not. Usually i would go in and be an extra, so i wouldnt hafta work, no biggie. But when i would work mornings, i would only get about 25-29 bucks. That is spending money, its not enough to pay bills. its pathtic. Plus you are working hard and it really just leaves you. Yesterday i was basically called an idiot for a mistake that was not my fault. and instead of the general manager saying, I might have made a mistake, he told me (infront of everyone) it wasnt his mistake And I must have. i told him it wasnt mine. so i was talked downto infront of everyone. So my check was not correct. After all the sheculding problems, the last thing i want is to be belittled infront of everyone. Then today i was suppose to be an extra, but instead i was put on the floor. And when put to a uniform check, i was told that my shirt (which had been laundered and ironed) was bad. so therefore i would have to do Double side work. That wasnt flying. i got pissed. i called home and talked to my family, i said i was really mad, explained the situation and i am going to talk to management about it. My parents told me to calm down and go in there and talk to them. I told the manegement that i needed to talk to them. Not in an overbearing "im pissed" voiced, but a stern one that i NEEDED to talk to someone about it. I was ignored for 15 mins, and so since i have had to deal with 10x the bullshit and 1/2 the pay i should get, i decieded to write a note. i basically said "Thank you for the opportunity but because of the abuse and unrealistic rules that are put apon me, i have to quit. Thanks" I passed it on to the expo manager and walked out. i really hope they ask me what went wrong when i go pick up my final paycheck, and if its not correct, they are going to be hearing about it. I was never told that i was doing a good job there. No one ever was. The only vauge compliment i ever heard was to an entire group of people and it was given in such a way as to congratulate everyone on a good job... but... things could be better. I really enjoyed it to a certain extent but because i just got tired of dealing with junk and for 20 bucks a shift, it really just wasnt worth staying around for. Its really just enough to cover if i want to go out to eat or buy some Dr. Pepper for my apt. not enough to cover truck payment or rent or any REAL bills that might come in. Im saving my parents from me nickel and diming them to death with lil things that i might want. If anyone knows of any good junk to apply for, let me know, i start on monday :-) as for right now, i am really deperessed :-( just the whole job thing then i played poker online, and it just sucked. i know i am a good player but it just seems that i run in with crap cards or just get beat badly. i dont know, i prefer live games rather then online. Other than that it just seems like i am not winning with anything or anyone. i met someone, she is cool, but kinda distant, and that just sucks. dont feel like going into any of that. it sucks when other ppl are hung up on whatever. :-/ i just wish i could get happier or somthing. gas prices suck so i cant really go out to much in my truck. im tryin to make it easier on my parents. they spend alot on me and i need to get a good job and work. i dont care what its for as long as the bullshit that i have to deal with is worth the pay. if i made 70-90 bucks a nite at gringos i could deal. but for 20 bucks and extra work, its just not worth my time.
