So today my boss calls me in and asks me if I come in high, I of course said no I stair at a computer screen all day and it makes my eyes watery, and since I ve been moving out I have been really stressed out. so she belives me and starts in with how great I have been, that she has the most calls made since she has worked here etc ... So I'm like if I'm doing a good job then why would it matter if I smoked pot? I mean the only way you can tell I'm stoned is because I get red eyes I dont act stupid at all. So it was good she brought it up because it gave me a chance to express my conserns. I told her that I am really bored, and I dont feel like she is giving me enough to do. That I want to help her and the company out and do more things (because everyone in the office who has the same job as me does sooo much more than I do, but since I'm also 6 years and a degress short of them they treat me as if I cant handle a lot of work) and I told her that me just calling people all day (I feel like that nina girl in office space 'corpral account nina speaking ... just a moment!' lol) and that if she gave me more to do I would work better and be on my toes a little more. It was a really good talk and I am feeling better about working here. I have realized that when things bother me I need to learn to speak up about it. I mean people cant read minds so I dont know how I ever exspected to have things change with out asking for them to!
man u make 500 bux a week.Thats fine me.Do you have anykids and stuff..Finacial aid helps
Life is too short to spend as a drone and it fucks with your mind after long enough of supressing your own personality. Im 18 too and tried data entry for a while last summer, when you see middle aged office pawns that go home and watch tv all night after a long day you wonder at our age how someone could ever become that way, then you work a job like data entry for a while and see how frighteningly possible it is.
Tons of people are in limbo out there, too scared of the prospect of being job less for a little while so they tolerate the drudgery to continue living at the same standards.
In short, RUN
quit. you should have went to college first instead of being on your own. if you can get loans, do it. its better than working all day.
every other week.. sucky ;)Quote:

lol
and yes it is every other week! im used to spenidng twice what I make in a weekend, but Ill take my freedom of being away from my parents over fancy meals and new designer clothing.
im starting to think i should have gone to college, but i love being independent, its not easy at my age but im loving it. and althoguh my parents are really wealthy, ive HATED depending on them, and if I was to go to college I would want to do it on my own. But at the same time I wouldnt want to spend forever paying off loans. I could go to my parents they would love to send me to college, but I am trying to detach myself as much as possble from them. I pay for everything myself and it has given me more confidence.
As I said explore if the company has the tuition reimbursement program. I take advantage of it, my company is paying me approx 80% to go to school. Only reason it's not 100% is because I don't get As all the time lol.
It's a hard and stressful, but it's rewarding.
You don't ever have to close the door on college. Simply don't. You always can if you want to.
Quit your job and go out and get drunk like I did yesterday. They pay me peanuts to do a production line job, I work hard, but it's never good enough. We must be miserable when we work, we are not allowed to listen to nice music on our headphones even though it is good for productivity. So I told them to stick it, now I don't have money coming in again...
I think you should try to get financial aid. You are a dependent of your parents until age 25, if a student, but there are ways around it. When I 1st went back to school, at age 23, I received financial aid, but had to prove that I was not a dependent of my parents, as they were unwilling to take a Federal Plus loan for me. I had lived on my own since 17 anyway, so it was not difficult to prove.
I also had to take out both Stafford and Perkins loans, but you just have to weigh the benefits. There may be numerous scholarships/grants you could qualify for too, but you won't know until you try.
I am 28, and still in school now because the 1st program I graduated from in medical administration did not land the career I desired, so now I am in biotechnology, but considering switching to medical laboratory tech, since I recently became employed by a lab.
From experience, if I knew then what I knew now, I would have finished college much earlier. I was unaware I could have qualified for financial aid and loans, and it is just so much easier for you when you are young. To be 22 or 23 and have a degree in something is a much better position than being older without one.
So my advice is to get into school, any school, you could start at a community college and enroll in a transfer program if you'd like. Either deal with the job you have now, or find something else suitable until you can do what you really want, and just keep in mind you will not be doing it forever-just "bide your time" as they say, and it will work out.
