I work a full time job and go to school full time and I find myself dragging and exhausted. I spend all of my free time trying to keep up with school work, house work and spend time with my boyfriend so he doesn't go looking for someone else. (we live together and have been together for 4 years, I really don't believe that) but on a serious note. I just don't have any spare time.
So my title is part time work, because even though we are both working full time and he is working 40+ hours a week, he is based on commission which is the dumbest thing I have heard of, because he is a route driver that fills vending machines. If his vending machines don't make money, he doesn't get paid. His job recently "restructured" and lessened his route by "a little". He is working 40+ hours still and yet for two weeks pay brings home $400 ?!?!
The sad thing is that we have been looking for a new job for him, but the job market is still very thin and hard to find anything at all. So I also find myself looking for part time work now to add to my personal list. how can we afford to live if his paycheck is cut in half?!
This upsets and worries me and I know he is stressed and worried too, but I just don't understand this. We had some money saved up from income taxes to cover last months rent, but I just don't know....
It hurts to have these kinds of struggles and see people that flaunt things they buy and do because they have money, there is a difference between talking about something and flaunting/bragging about things.
Another crappy thing is that by trying to find part time work I have to fill out applications that are 5 pages just for work at a grocery store or even fast food. Then they see my work history and say I am overqualified and decline my application. What ticks me off too are the places that have you go apply at the store...on the computer there?! Uhm, why!?

That is some bullshit! I hope he finds a better job soon. He should not be working a 40 hour job with that little of money!
ReplyDeleteOh man, My J will flaunt stuff he buys at times too. Sorry, I hope that doesn't bother you. I told him it wasn't nice but when he explained why he does it, I don't mind anymore. LoL. He said he worked hard to get it and this is the first time he can actually buy nice stuff.
