Official Damper
August 24, 2007
I am a real employee again, sort of. I was contacted about a secret shopper job but this job isn’t as an independent contractor. Instead, I am working directly for the company and receiving a real paycheck with taxes taken out and everything. I spent a day in paid training and have about another 2 weeks before I am “certified” but I get paid for every minute of training and that pay goes up once I’m done with the formalities. I’ll only be getting about 10 hours a week but it’s better than nothing. Plus, they pay on a normal pay schedule, unlike most secret shopping companies that make you wait 30 to 60 days for the money.
As for school, my dad went into jackass mode and put a damper on my plans. Just once I’d like for him to say, “Hey, that sounds like a good idea.” or “I’m proud of you for making this decision.” Instead he has to pick it apart and tell me what he thinks I should be doing. No wonder I’m always depressed. I will give him some credit though as he has a higher opinion of my abilities than I do, it’s his delivery of the information that sucks.
Well, it’s late and I was up at an ungodly hour this morning for my 8 hours of training so I am off to sleep.
