counting down until graduation!!
I hate my job...right now. I have been working at the same place for almost 8 years, waiting tables, and I am tired of dealing with grumpy people! I will graduate next spring, and hopefully will get a job soon being an x-ray tech. I might do CT or MRI. I can't wait! I actually start doing 40/hr week clinicals this week!! YAY!!


No, I don't get paid for clinic. That part sucks a little, but it will be so worth it next year!

I have been keeping my eyes open for another one.
Oh no! Thats awful that they put you on tasks that make it worse!
How horrible of them. I hope you find your dream job soon!

I LOVE my job... The big issue for me is about SOME of my co workers. They can be a REAL PAIN in the


One co worker CONSTANTLY complains that I do not communicate enough with her and others no matter what I do.

Second co worker likes to be center of attention and doesn't like the fact that my program is a VITAL part of the department therefore he has to answer to me at some times.

I used to get upset and took it personally whenever they'd complain about me but now I have learned to let their "snide" comments roll off my back and just keep doing MY JOB which I know I do a good job of!

So, now you know where your tax dollars go. So, some employees retire, find out they have $30,000 in an account they didn't know they had.
From working in the government I have found that it really is true that the higher up you are, the less work you do, and the more money you make.
Unfortunately I'm at the bottom.
