........

I'm sitting at work, staring at draft of a post that I have. It includes my email to my boss and her response to it, as well as some of my commentary. I'm not sure that I want to post it. I'm so very bitter about the whole ordeal.

My boss is not a bad person. Despite all the crap that's going on, I don't believe her to be spiteful or rude or inconsiderate at all. The people I work with are good people, for the most part.

I've been working here for about two years. I've given a lot of time and energy to this place. I have worked harder than 95% of my coworkers. I don't really want to leave.

Still, no one has even tried to prove to me that they didn't pull the wool over my eyes. I can't get a straight answer out of anyone, unless of course, I happen to ask that wonderful question, "Can I help you with anything?"

It's a question I ask on a pretty regular basis. I have done tasks that no one else even cared to consider. I have done my fair share of toiling around here.

Still, despite the fact that I don't believe that I've been treated as I deserve, I don't feel that anyone needs to be defamed.

Is it so much to ask that I want to be told the truth? Is it simply a fantasy that things would even slightly go as promised?

I kind of like this job. That's why I've been here for two years. But still, I need money. I certainly need more money than working 13 hours a week at just above minimum wage can give me.

I think it's time to move on...

And I think what I'm trying to say is that I won't post the email. Sorry guys. But I can't do it with a clear conscience.

They don't deserve you. Sad stuff, even so.
