Erik and I have been together for just over a year now and we're happy. Really happy actually. (Since Rhia was so curious) And we're together because we respect eachother's personalities....the funny thing is , my personality off this board is in a way , completely different.
Im pretty sure if I was the 500 pound , stupid obnoxious whale that you guys think I am , I would have lost my boyfriend a looooooong time ago...And he's not a sucker for punishment. He does have opinions.
I have no reason here to be ethical , polite , grammatically correct or anything otherwise considered decent on here anymore. You guys want to keep this fixed image of me in your head , instead of getting to really know the person behind the screen (such as a few members on here did) , then screw you. *shrugs*. I'll keep up with my persona on here until SOMEONE ELSE gets fed up and leaves...I have no problem playing the same game.

You guys keep saying " well you're so fed up! you're complaining! its your fault" , but really thats just a huge cover to dictate how fucking irritated you guys are because I keep replying , and it makes you seethe :)...You're just getting yourselves in a tizzy lol..I dont think about this all day and all night , but apparently a few people on here put in a real sincere effort to find every post I make and scrutinize it!

...OH and Erik doesn't post here anymore because he can't stand the majority of you , and quite frankly hasn't been impressed with how any you supposed compadres of him have been treating me since day one. So really , he doesn't give a fuck what goes on here. He laughs at all the stupid shit he sees come out of you and shakes his head. So please , dont try and question my boyfriend's integrity as a last resort attempt at poking fun of me. He really doesn't like you.
....and if you need to hear it from the horses mouth , i'll pass the message on.
I think you said it all right there... i totally have to agree with you :)

Back to the topic at hand (not F*R*A*, but minimum wage)...

I work in retail. I'm an assistant manager. I know for a fact (because our payroll dept mentioned it to me the other day) that the going rate for an assistant manager is $345/week (+2% commission). Doing the math (345 divided by 40), that gives you a whopping total of $8.63/hour. As an assistant manager, the responsibilities include running the sales floor, training employees, interviewing prospects when the manager is busy, and organizing paperwork, all while trying to sell as much as possible so that you can make your 2% count for something (side note, at a "big store" like Pac Center or Metro, your commission MIGHT be $200/week, if the sales are there, or if you have time to sell with everything else that you're doing as an AM).

Currently, I make $400/week (so $10/hour, + the 2%), and to be perfectly honest, even THAT isn't enough for the work that I have to do.

The issue of minimum wage (as much as I agree that it should be increased, if only because it would give me fodder to fight for a reasonable raise, which otherwise I won't get), is moot in my opinion, simply because there will be people like me caught in the crossfire of working for a cheap company who will have to pay the basic employees more and will be too cheap to pay the people that do all the work what they actually deserve.

I know that there's going to be people who're going get all up on me to "go back to school and get a decent job and stop bitching!". Again, that's a moot point. Not all people are cut out for years of further schooling. Plus, it's not like there's robots to do my job (yet), so there's going to have to be people like me working those jobs that you all feel are so inferior to your "careers".

On the subject of "that's why there's Moosejaw", how is that a fair assumption? Why should I have to leave the city that I've grown up in, where all my family and friends are, where my LIFE is, because you think that because I live from paycheque-to-paycheque I'm somehow inferior and should be living somewhere "I can afford"?

Get off your high-horses. and maybe, just MAYBE I'll get off my soapbox.

True. It's repetitive like a metronome instead of repetitive like a screaming child.

You should really consider changing companies. Your getting ripped off big time for your position. My gf was working for a retail company and was getting paid like $10ish with no commission as a manger. She was working for that company for years so didn't really know that her company was actually pretty hurting in terms of pay. SO she finally decided to leave for a different company but same line of work (clothing). She started at $17 as an assistant with bonus and commission.

Welcome to what happens every time..and here is the almighty answer to all the stupid questions of "why do attract negative attention" and "why are you here?"

... my favourite one...

" Why are YOU starting shit? " ......

There's your answer!
now wait just a min fra.

before we start holding hands and skipping in the park you should know that i consider blake and avana to be good friends i have known them both a really really long time....

as far as forums and threads go they are black and white. a written record of events and as far as this thread gose yes...you were provoked.

BUT...

you are the worst kind of person who writes on forums.

via pm you have admitted to me that you instegate as well just for entertainment and to get a rise out of people.

come really?...are you 16 or something?,stop it. its especially painful cause your like halfway across the country where its impossible to spot you at a club nite and go right up to your fucking face and say

"WHY YOU GOTTA BE SUCH A TWAT ON THE INTERNETS THEN YEAH?"

know what im sayin.

other then all of that i guess your sort of cool...in a hootie and the blowfish circa 1996 type of way.
