Hard Knock Life

August 11th 2007 03:25
Having a bit of a hard time the last few days, not particularly sure why. My head is constantly killing me. My knees throb/ache with red-hot pain after only being on them for a few hours.

I utterly despise my job right now and am seriously considering finding something else. I am a very loyal person when it comes to jobs. I do not choose companies lightly. I worked at a grocery store before the job I have now. I started at $7.35/hr and ended up at $10.55/hr after 2.5 years. They cut everyone to part time, forcing most of the higher-paid associates to find other work. I started the current job at $8.50/hr (then a $0.50 raise after 90 days), I have been there almost 3 years and make $9.66. I am pretty sure I'll get the standard $0.33 raise next month, putting me at about $10/hr. 3 YEARS later...and I'm still not at what I made before

Consequences Continued

July 27th 2007 17:22
I found out yesterday that the man who sexually abused/exploited* me was fired at some point last week. The investigator was out of town Wed-Sun (which I knew about) and either did not check the status until I emailed him yesterday, or knew and did not tell me. Either way, frustrating.

I am completely unsure about how I'm feeling. Of course I am glad that he finally is paying for what he did. I am a little upset that it took me so long to realize that it was wrong, and even longer to have the courage/ambition to report what happened. I am scared he'll file a grievance, but do not think he will. I still feel guilty, about so much of this. I wonder if the other staff member was questioned, but do not believe so because the investigator never really went over that with me. I think about his kids, and remember how cute they sounded
