    I work very hard, just like most people. And I have just enough money to pay my bills. At least most of the time. But no more for any extras. Eating healthy is costing a lot more.

    I wish I made more per hour. I am actually worth more per hour. But tell that to the bean counters.

    My auto-immune disease gets paid in disability, but I don't get any of it!! Actually, I have a music ministry, so I get paid in the joy of singing for others!!

    If this was true, you could leave and make more. So, why don't you?

    I'm actually ~not~ asking this question, just kinda seeing who will actually answer such a question without reading the post.

    yeah, i'm bored to an issue at work keeping me from doing anything productive.

    Then the answer for you would probably be "too much"

    Looks like at least one so far. Is this entertaining you yet?

    I find it entertaining that you thought I was serious...it's really 41.67 an hour.
    now HOW am I ever going to take you seriously.... seriously?

    I get paid in oxygen molecules.

    JOB = Just Over Broke

    snw - How about now?

    $7.75/hr. Barely over minimum wage, and I barely get by, but I LOVE my job and am working my way up. :drinker: I've had better paying jobs in the past (nothing like what people on here make though, apparently), and I was miserable. Today I'm stress-free, happy, and have the flexibility to work whenever I do or don't feel it.

    I don't get paid, I do it out of the kindness of my heart. :smokin:

    THIS! Also hugs, kisses and "I love you"s so it makes it all worth it :)

    with having an accounting degree, not damn near enough. Getting very frustrated with my place of work. They won't make me permanent yet, so I still go without any paid time off (even holidays). I get paid only a little over minimum wage. Looking to get out of here soon. But I love the people. Best people I've ever worked with, so I'm torn. :sad:

    And just enough so I don't run away from the tantrums.

    I do pretty good considering I got married at 18 (chose the man over college)

    Thank goodness for that BUT I have to wonder if it is all worth living in Houston. I miss Colorado! I need a p/t job to support my teen/tween and my addiciton to traveling. :tongue: LOL

    Server names crack me up. I work for the sheer enjoyment of doing a job I just love and can't imagine ever leaving.......

    yeah....

    I once lived in ATX and it was a short term affair of only 10 months before my ex was called back to duty in VA. UGH! I am a fan of Austin, so pretty and so much fun. I do have some Houston pride but would also like to live other places. A girl can dream right. Come on pay raises! :wink:
