The Saga Continues

I'm seriously trying to go to bed right now.

I just started another blog--like I needed another one. It's http://makerofshoes.blogspot.com, just in case you wanted to check it out. But why would you need to, since you are reading the exact same thing here. (Xanga? MySpace? Facebook?) When did the internet become so impersonal? ;-)

I don't want to get myself in trouble here, but I feel as if my loyalty to my company is waning more and more by the day. Stupid corporate. I hate how the world is run by super-rich, global tycoons dead-set on pinching every last bit of money that they can. Can we not just keep American jobs in the U.S.? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dollar Thrifty prides themselves on being an "American" company, based in the heartland. I can't bring myself to terms with the fact that some jackass can sleep at night knowing that 250 people are going to be out of jobs just so that his multi-million dollar company can save a little bit of green. I'll tell you what it really means, more money in his pocket. Yeah, that's right...little old "Ebenezer Dollar Thrifty Tycoon" has no problem cheating 250 useful employees out of their jobs--most of whom could never even dream of seeing the amount of money that he makes in one year. It's not like we're rolling in the green, for the love of the lord.

I'm just sick of dealing with it. And then today I find out that 21 paid time-off hours that I earned during the overtime incentive can't even be redeemed until after May 1st. I just don't get it.

Oh well. At least it's a job. I just hope that I can keep it before my job gets handed to some guy over in the Phillipines, who, coincidentally is probably named "Bob" or "George" or some other generic American name.

Or at least that's how he'll be trained to answer the phone.
