So, it’s 5:45, and where I am? Still at work! Why? Because I have so much crap to do it’s crazy and they just keep piling it on. See, I am a contractor, I don’t work for my client, I work for my company. And I guess since the government folks don’t do any work…they give it to us to do. But for real, it’s like my boss doesn’t understand that 1 thing could take days…even if I worked on it without working on anything else. They don’t know anything…they don’t know how to work our software and databases, they don’t know how to work our Sharepoint sites…nothing! So guess what? They ask for stuff and don’t understand the complexity of the task because in their little minds, all I need to do is push a button and out comes this pretty user-friendly report with everything just the way they like it. NOT!
I am tired on several occassion to transfer within the company and my project manager just gives me lip service. Now, don’t get me wrong, I do not have deep feelings for any one job ever. If I am at a job for longer than a year, my friends and family think that’s a miracle…’cause I stick and move… But I want to stick around to be fully vested in my 401K and if they know what’s right for them…my raise should be sweet. But I don’t know how long I can last in this…on Monday I worked almost 12 hours…today it will be close to 9. Thursday isn’t looking too great either.
I have so much stuff to do it’s crazy… I am leading one group, the acting lead of another, a team member on this group, I just got the lead for anther iniatitve. PLUS, i sat in meetings 95% of the day today…how the heck am I supposed to get anything done sitting in meetings?
Then I have the stuff that I really like to do such as my businesses. I am planning a conference in Charlotte and Virginia Beach this year…and I LOVE doing this stuff. But I spend so much time at the JOB, by the time I get around to doing the fun stuff, I do get a second wind…but the next day I am so tired. Plus, I got my Pure Romance kit and I placed another order of stuff and I got it all and I just want to go home and play in it. I love it! I have my first party this Friday! YAY!!! So I am very excited. I will post another entry about the menu later. But I digress. Anyways, a sista is tired. I need to figure out a way to do what I want to do all the time and make a whole lotta money doing it!
A study conducted by the University of Maryl and the National Institutes of Health-funded study concluded that lesbians make more money that our hetrosexual counterparts. “Lesbians rake in up to 35% more than heterosexual females, while, on average, gay men earn about 14% less than straight males”. The study found.
