I'm gonna quit!

Why do I put up with it? Is it because I can't find anythng else? I don't fucking know.

As if it's not bad enough that my boss and everyone else at the company constantly make me the butt of their jokes...without reason I might add. I'm good at my job, I'm easy to get along with, I don't look or act weird (as far as I know)...but they still do it anyway.

I'm also being paid worse than shit...being paid shit would be a step up for me. My salaray is approximately $45,000 below other people in similar positions. (I'm regional manager for a large electrical contractor, responsible for everything from project management, material, shipping/receiving, scheduling, personnel, operations, AR/AP...I fucking do everything, completely alone!)

And now, I gotta deal with site foremen who scream in my face about my "telling them how to do their job", when, if he had actually been listening when I was talking, I was telling him what I needed to get our part of his job done.

As I asked before...why do I put up with this shit? The low fuel light came on in my van on my way back to the office, and I have no money to put gas in it until Friday, all because of the driving I do between four cities to run jobs...wil no consideration for mileage or the wear and tear on MY PERSONAL VEHICLE.

It comes down to a battle between the commitment I made to this company, and my distain for being taken advantage of. The latter is winning lately, for the record.

Why do I feel guilty about demanding more money, about demanding respect, about demanding what everyone else seems to get without asking.

God damn...this is enough to drive me to a fucking breakdown.

Need to find a friendlier state for your trade. Ever consider Yucca Mountain in Nevada? That's the job site that never ends, all on the Feds' dollar, too. Don't worry about the nuclear waste, they've hardly put any in yet. You can work wiring for the TBM, the lab geeks, and the engineers. >:) Go where you can make some demands, then again, you could whore yourself out to Big Oil, learn some Spanish, and do some time in Venezuela. I hear gas is only 50 cents a gallon because that whole country is one huge freaking refinery. Keep it evil.

Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
I may never know for certain
When will be my time
How was I considered evil?
Pleasures taken in this life
Someone granted me retrieval
Decades spent in strife

Led to nothing
Repeated in my mind
Led to nothing
If only I was born another time

Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How have I been so determined malign?

It's the closing of the curtain
In the play that was my life
Countless chapters left unopened
Tragedies inside
I was fighting for a reason
Holy blessed homicide
Seems I have committed treason
All I've sacrificed

Led to nothing
Repeated in my mind
Led to nothing
If only I was born another time

Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How I have been so determined malign?
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How I have been so determined malign?

Fate is so unkind
Now I should have known
Blind leading the blind
Reaping what I've sown
If it all amounts to nothing
Why, then, am I standing in this line?

Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How I have been so determined malign?
Hell is still overburdened
I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened
How I have been so determined malign?
