Thursday night was our weekly Buffalo Wild Wings meeting with a friend. We started to do this on Wednesday...hump day! It changes with my school schedule.
My friend asked how the job was going so I told her about my meeting with the temp lady. Then she asked me how much I was paid for a week. She told me I should have been able to put up with anything for that. She said she only brought home $75 a week more. My hero being my hero pointed out to her that she gets company paid medical, dental, retirement (yes, she is one of the few left that will actually get a retirement package from her job), she gets life insurance, 401K, four weeks vacation, and seven personal days. Not to mention that she gets company incentives for healthy living programs paid for by the company. He also pointed out that she works with people she likes and is able to laugh at work. She has seniority, will not be laid off when they catch up with the work load and only has six more years to work to be able to collect her full pension. She said she never thought of it like that before.
It just shows...some people never know what they got till someone points it out to them.
But the glass is still half full. You both have jobs. :->
