Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Let's see,for $11.00[a dollar raise]an hour,my company wants me to drive to the warehouse-45 miles away-towards Columbus-to be at their warehouse in Plain City
at 5:30am-driving my car,using my gas,to pick up a new employee because he doesn't have enough gas in his car to drive.

Then,next,for a $10.00 traveling bonus they want me to travel-without my $11.00 per hour pay-for an hour an a half,the opposite way>back past Bellefontaine>all the 90 mile way to Celina.

So far,I have driven all this time and mileage for $10.00 lousy dollars.Then,if I am lucky,I get to put in a 8-10 hour day,and drive this new employee the 90 miles back to his car in Plain City for free!

Finally,again for free,I get to go home.

If I take the van{because it is running better} and say,if I stretch the truth and say that it gets 20 mpg,it will take me over 13 gallons of gas to go from here,to there,there and back again,and then back to here.At Bellefontaine gas prices($3.20),I will spend $41.60 on gas.I will not get paid the 45 minutes to Plain City,nor the 180 mile round trip to Celina and back to Plain City.Also,my time is free for the 45 minutes going home.That is four and a half hours of my time for which I am not getting paid.My van does get $10.00 gas though.

If I work eight hours,I will have put in an extra four and a half hours for free to get it.So,$88.00 plus the ten bucks for gas is $98.00.Minus the $41.60 is $56.40.Divide that by 12 hours that I put in,that's,let's see...
...$4.60 an hour.

I made more than that on my paper route when I was twelve.That was thirty seven years ago!I might just call in sick...because I am sick of this shit.
