What has this world come to?

Hey guys, yeah long time no blogging, but hey, I'm back and better than ever!

So I guess I'm gonna start out with a little rant! YAY!!

1)WTF is up with this world, I mean, ok we have Haiti so the world is coming to an end, then we have a black president in the US, then we have Tiger Woods- ahh WTF!! Im not even gonna finish this, if you want to know just google it yourself! (just so you guys know, I am not racist one bit, but cmon lets be serious here, there has never been a black president, and I think its cool!)

2) A fellow mate and I were walking the other day, and had a good conversation about the power of the vagina. I mean think about it, do you really think Obama makes decisions on his own? HELL NO! That health care reform came out of Michelle Obama's mouth when she was screaming with pleasure.. Either that or she said, "pass the bill or no one is getting any suga tonight" .. totally understandable.

3) Being a senior in my highschool means everything, it means that I can punk around little grade 9 kids who think they are the toughest shit in the school!, It means I'm the top dog,,, however it also means one other thing,, marks count! And if I screw up the rest of this semester, I'm screwed for the rest of my life. Now don't get me wrong, I can still work at NoFrills but it still sucks, and isn't really a career choice of anyone. Which brings me to my next point.

4) HOW THE HELL DID THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH GET CAUGHT UP IN THIS FRIGGIN PROFESSION SITUATION!! Sorry i had to cross out profession, because I mean let's face it, working at a grocery store for 12.50 an hour and putting up with a psychopath Dutch boss who thinks he's the king,, really sucks. But let's look at it deeper shall we?

The average Canadian worker makes about $49 000 a year. Now take $12.50 and multiply that by 40 hours a week, 52 weeks in a year and you get roughly $26000 that's roughly half the amount of an average person. Now, don't get me wrong, working for Nofrills has its benefits... It's a straight forward job, working with friends, and you get close to full health benefits as in dental, and prescription etc. But that's provided by the Union, who by the way don't do shit for us. In fact, me as a student couldn't care less if we had a union or not! They permanently screw us over, for example let's say I need a day, which I am scheduled to work on, off ... and let's say I want to change it, well I can't because trades of shifts are accordingly to seniority. Which means managers have to look down the list and see who wants to take my shift, and if everyone is working that day,,, IM SCREWED!

So all in all I hate my job, but please forum answer this question for me...

How is it that I have been working there for 3 years?

Is it the money, the people I work with, the easiness of a job (a friggin monkey can do it), the hot girls that come shopping with their mom, or is it the fact that I can say I have a job and going to school and going to get a post secondary education after this? YOU BE THE JUDGE!
