No. 11980
Okay, so since I'm just a contract worker, we sometimes get days off when the coupon backlog is low, because otherwise the full-time people don't have enough coupons to scan.
Now, I'm thrilled to have two days off, because I want to do shit with my acapella projects.
Friend at work says, "Oh yeah, she's okay with having it off, because she doesn't have bills to pay, LOL."
Bitch, I'm going to a school that costs $14k, and I've only got $4k saved up, after not spending a single penny for three solid months. That's counting the $1.5k I had saved up from my last job. Yes, I don't pay rent, or for food, because my parents rock, but I'm only here for another three months, and I didn't even make a full $3k in the last chunk. I like having a day off, because, unlike you, I need a job that mentally stimulates me. Sometimes, scanning coupons for 8 hours makes me squirrelly, and I want to leave. It doesn't mean I'm dancing around my house, chanting, "YAY! I'M ESSENTIALLY EIGHTY DOLLARS POORER!" (not counting deductions).
Just...fuck off. I don't pay bills, but I do need the money. Don't act like I'm here for the fun of it. Coupons are NOT that fun.
I mean I did get one that was for a free banana yesterday- just one free banana, no specific brand- and that amused me, along with the time I got over 2000 coupons for Vienna Sausage in one order, but still.
I also feel bad, because when she says shit like that, I just sit there and look at her, like, "You have about three teeth in your head, cashed in your RRSP to go to Cuba, with the reasoning that, because your husband had them, you didn't need one, insisted that a metaphor and an oxymoron were the same thing, and plan to retire in six years, at the age of fifty-five, with nothing in the way of pension except CPP, and buy obviously hot (as in stolen) items from Hong Kong and don't even realize it. You are the absolute essence of everything I never want to be."
I feel bad that I have sort of a snob complex, but at the same time, part of me feels it's a valid one to have. I'd feel worse if she wasn't such a bitch, too.
