Since I started this blog, I haven't received a single paycheck. Tomorrow will be my first. Any of you who have worked with a large corporation know that, for accounting purposes, every employee is payed on the a day, the week after each week they worked. I find this upsetting and unsatisfying. Am I whining? Maybe, but until know my pay has come in cash immediately after the job was completed. That's cool. :).
When working for an hourly wage, you begin to question your worth as a person. sure, $7.50 an hour isn't that bad, but what about $0.12 a minute. Personally, I think a minute of my time is worth more then 12 cents. Every second I spend at Supermart earns me a whopping .2 Cents.
This is why minimum wage is impossible to live off. I personally don't have problems because I have no overhead, but co-workers with bills, taxes, and expenses (all scary words) need at least one other job to make enough not to go much into debt. Workers of the world unite. Demand a bigger minimum wage.
