bikeslut 1 Posted February 11, 2009 seriously... today was just one of those days from Hell... employees not knowing what to do, every time i turned around, another one was on break, no sales in the morning;all in the afternoon, had to run payroll TWICE because of some stupid municipal law, had to pay ALL of my bills within a two hour window, new products and services to sell... Roughest 6 hour day EVER... YES... I was a volunteer at the Junior Achievement Biz Town in Mission Valley, and had to run the airport with 5 Fifth graders... More war stories to follow after I do some real work... :clapping: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted February 11, 2009 Must be nice to have a job. Bragger! YOU can volunteer at Biz Town any day! Really... it was like opening a new restaurant... First laugh: Each business has to run payroll, run the business and pay bills. Cox Communication kid comes by to pick up the payment... my 9 year old CFO says, "I haven't even touched the phone... come back later" First "awwwww" moment... keep in mind these fifth graders were from a pretty poor area... somebody from another "store" comes by to collect their money... my CFO pays them... I said, "you already paid them"... he says, "but they asked me to pay them again"... "do you give money to everybody that asks for it?".... He says, "a lot of people are worse off than I am, like maybe they're homeless, so if I have some money, and they need it more, I'll give it to them" The electric company comes by to determine our electrical bill... How many lights do you have? He says, we are leaving them all off to save electricity... we ended up getting the award for conservation... really... i don't want to ever do it again, but I'm glad I did it...

I hope that by the time this class gets to vote, they will not be incarcerated, and issues are more important than party lines... Yeah; the kids had a slow first hour, so while I was making a loan payment, they decided they should charge less for everything, and they sold out... my "MARGINS" speech, and "SUPPLY AND DEMAND" speech fell on deaf ears... we ended up $57 short for the day... For anybody that has spare time, DON"T DO IT! It was seriously work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted February 13, 2009 Hey Bikeslut, I'll trade you one of my work days for the one that you just had here in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted February 13, 2009 Hey Bikeslut, I'll trade you one of my work days for the one that you just had here in this thread. well, i did get paid my normal rate... do we trade salaries, too? Speaking of which... I just got a summary of my entire compensation packet for 2008... it included my base salary, my bonus, long term incentive and... benefits... they compute out the benefits for insurance (didn't use any for me this year), sick days (like I EVER take those), vacation days (I spend my vacation days on the computer working anyway)... If I could get that money in cash, i would be very well off... benefits account for a large % of my "compensation" That being said; I love my job, and the people I work with, and would do it for less money... don't tell anyone.... Back on the day... Mimi... I've raised 6 kids... I was NOT prepared...there were 145 5th graders running around this place... kids used to little money around the house, and they were earning money to SPEND... it was insane,.... and i had to run the International Airport...without TSA! OK... enough complaining Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's a salary? For that matter what's all this about insurance and vacation pay and sick pay? None of that exists at my job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
