another day in the books

well it did not start out the way that i had hoped but none the less. it was anohter day done. usually at the start of a fresh month i do not have to work on saturday. however since our team did not hit our goal. thwy are makin us work a sever amount of OT. thinking that it will drive our #'s down. how crazy. work your employees to the bone month after month w/ no break or time off. yeah real good motivation to get them back on your side. how about a reward or a job well done the other 11x's that you hit your goal this year.

o well i am sorry enough about work. i know... you really don't want to hear about it but my job really can take a toll on a person. i am a collector / skiptracer for a very well know company. prior to my job i am currently in i have never had a collections job. i just kinda fell into it .. got comfy now don't really want to leave. (although the time may be coming soon)
i never would have gotten into it if i had known that it is pretty much: u get paid to argue w/ people all day. someone tells you that a loved one just passed away, and they have no $$$ and can't make it on their own. i have to tell them that i am sorry but you still need to pay.
this really gets to you. i find sometimes when i go home after a long day @ wrk (which seems like all the time) .. that i get snippy .. i snap sometimes on people over the sligghtest thing. if you had known me before my current job. you would know that i am not a very agressive person. this job just does things to you. you do not feel like yourself sometimes. i try not to take the job home w/ me .. .but i am there so much the line between home and work becomes blurred... literally working 12 hour days .. that means between commuting getting ready, and all the other nonsense involved w/ wrk.. i get about 8 hours in a 24 hour day (excludng sleep) to be with my loved ones or have some time for myself.

i guess that is a good thing that i do not have a child yet, i would not be able to give it the same love that both my parents have given me and all of my siblings. i have no idea how they did it. i have a cat and a brand new puppy. i try to not get the cat jealous by playing w. the pup to much. theses are just pets, how my parents were able to raise 4 wonderful kids and make every one of them feel loved and special. how do they do it.
of course when i was younger i did not see things this way. when i had a curfew or was nto allowed to go and do certain things, i would get angry with my parents. i would start a fight and say stupid things thinking that they did not want me to have a good time. when all that they were doing was looking out for my best intrests, and making sure that i would not get into trouble. i can only hope that i am half as good as my rents were on bringing us up.
family above all.....
of course you need a job to have money to put a roof over you and your family. but keep in mind what good the roof. if there is no family underneath to protect.
