Work, Life, Etc.

My wages were lowered and my hours were decreased. They’ve also decided that we must all dress “professionally” when they had us dress “casually” before. Working there for three years means that I have nothing but casual clothes, since I have no reason to be dressy elsewhere in my life. So I get a lower wage, fewer hours–and am expected to buy a new wardrobe.

I applied for a part-time job today, but then when I thought about it, I decided that was stupid. I mean, liberals don’t work hard. We’re lazy through and through, supported by the government. Ah, well. I’ll probably work two jobs anyway. I always was a slow learner.

    I am right there with you! Why should have to work? Or go to school? Or research global trade and economics in the Post classical era? I thought the government was supposed to everything for me…

    Bummer about your job. Where do you work?

    One word: Transition; I am sure they will allow for this.

    Dillon; I’d prefer not to post where I work, as they seem to be looking for any excuse to fire people these days. I don’t mind you knowing, though. I can email if you want.

    Carson; They said the clothing thing was effective immediately. I found one nice(r) shirt and a pair of nice(r) slacks. I will wear, wash, and repeat until I can afford more–and it may be childish of me, but it will amuse me to do so.

    Fair enough. The clothing thing is pretty stupid though.

    I am with you. This is a bit drastic.
