(and edited later, darn that SMS character limit)

I still have the 2nd job at BN, but I don’t know for how much longer. The reward:stress ration gets lower every shift…

… especially when working with one particular manager who doesn’t get why I’m here: a few extra $, something to do…

… evenings, and the 30% discount doesn’t hurt. This is not a career for me; I am very happy in my real full-time…

… job and don’t NEED to be working at BN. So when she treats me like one of her peons, finding fault with…

… everything I do and being downright rude about it, I really start to question my motives for staying.

Later: I survived the shift, employment status unchanged, but I will do what I can to avoid working with this particular manager in the future.

This is a test.

I am testing a Palm blog-posting app called Vagablog from www.bitsplitter.net/vagablog. It lets me write a post that could be longer than the 160-char MMS limit, but does not support uploading photos or editing existing posts. So it could be useful (and it’s FREE) but it’s not the complete solution yet.

Post-by-phone when supposed to be working

Dear clueless lady standing between magazines and best-sellers shrieking into your phone “I can hear you, can you hear me?”: We can all hear you.
