Training Day
Ξ February 13th, 2008 | → | ∇ On the Job |
I’ll be going to work for about four hours today. There’s a supplemental training class available for anyone who wants to take it. It is supposed to teach you how you should react if a psychotic patient in the hospital attacks you. As I was signing up for it, my friend asked me what it was about. “It’s about four hours of extra work,” I said.
At fifty bucks an hour, it’s about two hundred dollars. Or One-fifty after taxes. All that for sitting in a chair and listening to the person say, “Try not to get hit.”
Next week there is another four hour thing at work, too. It is where you have to go in every year and demonstrate that you know how to use all of the machines that you have been using for the past year. It’s about two hundred dollars, too.
Geez, I can’t wait until this debt is paid off.

Easy money. Take it while you can get it. I wish my job had perks like that!

Ah, but once the debt is paid you can still go to those classes for play money!
