In some places, that's an above-average wage. Sadly. I couldn't live on that anymore. But my BFF lives on less.
That's below minimum wage in my state, and only a dollar above it in California.
National minimum wage is $7.25, so if that's above-average in places, something needs to change, drastically.
Timelies all!
Consuela, I'm sorry the asshats at your work keep jerking you around like that.
I make $9/hr right now. It's better than having negative income like I did last year.
The adorable Clydesdale foal Budweiser ad - with more info about the horses.
I must be on hormone overload or something. That totally made me cry.
Oh, Clydesdales. Pretty horses. Sweet commercial.
Me too, Amy. Budweiser making me all weepy, what a world.
msbelle,
why couldn't he have put that in an email to you so you did not have this level of stress for over a day?
I don't understand it.
Critter ads always make me cry.
re: job messes--there's something to be said for living in an area were the worker-managerial relationship is considered to be essentially adversarial, you don't expect much from the bosses. Consideration and clear communications are then happy surprises.
Ugh, I ate too many feelings, and now I feel yuck.
