sabI got a lot to say, and quite possibly a quiet day at work in which to say it. I'll just keep typing till a crisis hits.
They log my keystrokes here, but I don't care, my master's gone away. The _underscore's the new bullet point. Just ask _Nissan or _TBS.
_work: So I took this job after the election last year because the Center Director told me to. Initially I'd only planned on staying through election day, but Ed said, "please stick around?" and I said "only if you make me a supervisor" and he said "Done." And he said "eleven dollars an hour" and I said "twelve" and he said "Done." And I said "promise me there's more money down the road" and he said "Absolutely, absolutely, supervisors make up to $24 an hour."
I've worked my Think Blue Democratic Ass off for a year at twelve bucks an hour, and was due for a raise about a month ago, to what's known as minimum-wage-for-salaried-employees, or $28,800/a, or $14.42/hour. Piffilous pay (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
helenish can provide the reference) for a year of political prostitution and silver-tonguing and coaching wave after wave of idiots, and Sab can't live on such piffilous pay!
[10:30, crisis]
[11:13, back from crisis]
So, when my raise didn't come through, I began looking for other work. I mean, seriously. Told Ed I was looking. Had it all out with my bosses, lotsa crying. Lotsa screaming. He reversed his position on the raise in an attempt to keep me here. My $14.42 came through last week. I'm still looking for other work. I am pushing thirty. I deserve better. Anyone hiring?

[11:56, crisis enlarges. I will have to finish this post later.]
_television: NIM, yet
