Seriously...is this week over yet?!?!?!

At least there's one more day of hell left and it consists of me wearing jeans to work and being comfortable. So, I guess, that makes it about 50% okay. Now, if the tremendous piles of paper would only go away, I'd be all set! You'd think I was building little models of the Rocky Mountains will all the masses of paper I have sitting on my desk. So much for paperless billing, my ass. I don't think the word paperless exists in any accounting department.

But, in other news...my best friend finally got a job at a firm that will actually let her be an interior designer (finally, someone's degree is getting them somewhere...lol). I met her in college and we both were in the same program and she graduated about 6 or 7 months before more and got a job at an Interior Design firm. Unfortunately, they shoved her in the "CAD BITCH" position and she's never advanced anywhere else. She's gone on dozens of interviews, but it's obvious no one really looked at her potential and she never got a call back. WELL, it was her lucky day today! She can finally quit her crap job and do something that she'll enjoy doing! I'm so happy for her!

Me, I'll be stuck in a dead-end accounting job going no where because I graduated from college with a degree in Interior Design. Ugh...the only reason I stay there at that job is because I have insurance through them and I sort of REALLY need it right now. They give me 2 weeks paid vacation and 40 hours sick time (which really comes in handy too). BUT, I seriously don't get paid as much as I deserve for taking the bullshit that I do from so many people. Yeah, yeah...if I disclosed my salary, some people my bitch at me and stuff, but I make less than $25,000 a year where some people are making upwards of $30,000 or more to do something WAY less stressful as me. It's depressing...

Okay, I'm gonna quit my bitching...I've done enough of that today.

Sounds sucky, but yay for your friend!

40 hours of sick time doesn't seem like a lot to me.... what happens if you have a really bad sickness? Do they fire you?? :0

Well 40 hours is a full work week off. They legally can't fire you from work as long as you can prove (usually by way of doctor's note) that you were truly sick for that period of time. You can sue them. Normally if you are out for a while, it would be suggested to the company that they hire a day-by-day temp who would then be able to vacate the position when you were well enough and given doctor's clearance to return.

The point of 40 hours of sick time is that you get PAID for those hours without actually working. Now I will stop explaining stuff to other people in the 'blogs of even other people hahaha

Hey
I'm happy your friend is going to be doing something she'll like... Sucks you're still in a shit hole. Hopefully, within time you'll get something you'll like. I do understand about having to keep your insurance though, (same boat here). I don't remember if I told you or not either but it's a boy.... WOOHOO!!!!
