The Quarter Life Chronicles

I'm very tempted to go on strike. 

When I took and passed the CDL test back in October, I was suppose to be getting a nice little raise.  I was quite looking forward to that raise as currently I was making less than what I was making at my old job-and working 110% harder.  Frankly, I bust my ass every single day while I'm at work...I'm almost always willing to come in to work early or stay late. I do everything I'm asked to do, and usually more. 

And yet...and yet I find myself at the mercy of the incompetent office staff who don't feel it's necessary to process a simple batch of paperwork which will allow me to get the pay that I deserve. 

Hence the reason I'm tempted to just walk into work tomorrow (a holiday none the less) and announce that I will just be a body there-but I will not be performing my normal duties (namely driving), will arrive promptly at the start of my shift and leaving at precisely my ending time regardless of whether or not there is proper coverage or my work is complete.

But I won't do that.  I am too desperate for a job and I also can't do something like that with a sound conscious.  And so I will continue to do my job to the best of my ability and just hope that eventually the payroll department gets their shit together and give me the money that I have rightfully earned.
