Vent About Your Job Here

Its kind of weird how things are in different places.  A friend of mine works at a KFC here in Indiana and they are so busy she's been getting sometimes 55hrs a week in.  It's about to wear her out.

Well, I got 2 1/2 hours today. I guess I should feel lucky?  Instead of buying my lunch today, I bought 3 scratch off tickets at the gas station. I broke even on them. I usually don't do lotto, or scratch offs but, I figured... what the heck... you never know.

I used to work for a guy who would only but lottery tickets the day they came out and he always won.  He had a theory that the winning tickets were always going to be on the first of the first rolls that came out so people would win and it would generate more sales.

Wow... I never thought of that. I wonder what day they come out here? I'll have to check into that. I might try playin' the numbers too.

He is one of those lucky stiffs that seem to know all the tricks.  He never won real big, I think $500 was the most, but he managed to stay on the + side of the scale the way he did it.

If I won $500 on anything I'd probably have a stroke from excitement.  That would suck because I would probably be dead, and couldn't even spend it LMAO!!!

Today, I only worked 1 1/2 hours.  That type of shift isn't even worth the effort. Especially when it's as cold as it is. I guess my coworker Joe only got an hour yesterday. I'm gettin' a little tired of the shenanigans.

That hardly pays for your gas to go to work. Was 1.5 hours your scheduled shift? In Maryland, if you reported for your scheduled shift and they sent you home, they had to pay you for at a minimum 2 hours, although I don't know if that was before or after the employee started working.

Actually, I was scheduled for 3 hours. It use to be a law in Illinois that they had to keep you at least 2 hours. I don't argue too much because, I think the store is probably on its way out. I figure I'll ride it out,and go down with the ship.
