14 cents an hour!?!?!
Hi guys, i'm here to complain again. Now don't take this the wrong way, just cuz i'm complaining dosn't mean i'm not thankful. I just thought that I need to post about something and well...I have nothing better to post about. As few of you may know, I spend a good 8 hours a day working. 6 days a week. Hard work too. Ok, maybe painting and drywall isn't that hard, but anyone that's done it know's how annoying it can be.
At any rate, last week I was having a hell of a day. Me and Kev were having the hardest time trying to fit a peice of drywall. No matter how we cut it something kept going wrong. By this time the power had gone out and Kevin had already electrocuted and burnt himself on a bad extention cord. Yep, it was just one of those days.
Now most working men can comfort themseleves after a long hard day with the thought of their payment at the end of the week. So I thought to myself, "Maybe that could help me get through today". Unfortunately after doing the calculation I came to one shocking conclusion. "I get paid 5 dollars a week". We decided to give the home the benifit of the doubt and only account for an average of 6 working hours a day, although we usually do at least 8. Now lets see who here's a mathmatician. Can anyone figure out how 36 hours of work a week can add up to 5 dollars? I can, and it becomes about 14 cents an hour. The homes defence for our meager payment is "your not being paid anything. The 5 bucks is just your allowance." Still, am I wrong in thinking that a guy who works more should get paid more? The guy who does no work whatsoever gets 5 dollars a week. The guy that works all day long gets 5 dollars a week. What a screwed up system we have. Maybe soon thigs will change. Until then, i'll have to practise being stingy.

RandR? Is that some way of saying "ricky and rosie"?
umm...for protection for this person...I cant be allowed to answer that.
You should definately organize a Union. The Brotherhood of Underpaid(or Unskilled, wichever suits your situation best) Missionaries or B.U.M. You could stage walk-offs, picket lines, boycotts, or just do what the IBEW does.....Drink a lot!
Well to quote a famous 10 year old, the reason they call it allowence is because "if they called it pay they would be breaking child labor laws".
hahaha, good idea. B.U.M could also be a good name for a wordstock band. Perhaps the "Brotherhood of Untalented Musicians". You know how the family loves acronyms. :p (no offence intended to my fellow cultists) And Ben...I can't believe I didn't think of that. It's been so long...i'm forgetting my lines.
hey randr, if u think im a loser, why dont u come over to my site, and get in contact with me so i can prove once and for all that u are right, and that it's an old subject...
