Corporate America Doesn't DESERVE Me

I just lost a temp job today. Wasn't a job worth having anyway, the corporate culture where I was at sucked...they basically set up a revolving door, and it was my turn to go out of it.

Wouldn't want the natives getting too comfortable, lest they get restless and start asking for things like (gasp) raises, benefits, 401k's, health insurance, paid holidays, paid sick time, vacations...heavens, we can't have stuff like that, it would cut into the corporate PROFITS...

Well, screw it. I'm more than half-tempted at this point to just say to hell with corporate America entirely...they don't fuckin' deserve me....or the skills I could bring them, since they ain't willing to adequately compensate me for what I bring to the table.

I live at home right now, having been forced to go back at the age of 34, thanks to this rotten Bushit economy...and, the idea was, basically for me to go back to school, and maybe work part-time. Well, I'm thinking seriously on just getting a paper route (motor routes up here pay about 800 bucks a month) it'd be enough for my few bills and some pocket money...and there would then be nothing to interfere with school hours, I can fast-track going back to school, and getting my Paralegal certification, and get myself into a job that actually DESERVES me...and not these ungrateful, selfish bastard corporations.

In fact, if everything happens as I would wish for it to, I'll go on to law school, hopefully graduating by the time I'm 40...and then spend the second half of my life as a labor lawyer, and getting even with Corporate America for sucking the first half of my life out of me.

At this point, there is nothing I want more than to have my chance at revenge against the cocksucking greedy corporate bastards that fucked me out of the first half of my life. And I want to represent workers against heartless, soulless companies, and force them to do right by workers. And punish those corporations that refuse to do right by workers.

But, seriously, I am beginning to think that it all isn't worth it anymore...and that cororate America doesn't deserve me...I'm better than that, I know what I'm worth, and until they wanna cough that up, screw them.

I'm not interested in playing their little game anymore. I'm pretty sure this latest job loss is because they knew that I knew that they were exploiting me, and that I didn't much appreciate it. They had to get me outta there before, Heaven forbid...I let the other natives become aware of how they all were being screwed.

They probably saw me as a potential threat and rabble-rouser, because I pointed out things they didn't want pointed out.

They don't deserve you. Or a lot of us really. Labor Law huh? That is a good way to turn the tables on those who got you down. Cool.

way. I was fortunate to marry a wonderful man last year, at the ripe old age of 48 I was (now 49), and now I just work an hourly job where I can go home and forget it. I have about another 6-8 months of 'indentured servitude' to pay off major car repairs that happened, of course, as soon as I quit my 'better' management job. Then, it is back to college. If I am not too decrepid by the time I finish my degree in history, I want to teach....teach young people to WAKE THE HELL UP.
Meanwhile, while working this stupid job, I can come home, and read and read and read, and go to protests, and work the polls, and campaign.

Well, so there are two of us, now!

I just wish we could get the critical mass to bring about real, meaningful change.

...by the time you can get through school. Good luck.
