Damn, what kind of problems did you have? Hope everything is okay with your company and their software.
On another note, try going in at 5:45am and then coming home at 11:25pm.
It's way worse. :bleh: X2 But that first beer just revives you! :D :woot:

dang. at my old job, i used to go in at about 8am, but my avg time home would be about 10pm (sometimes 1am or 2am). it was crazy. the only shows that i got to see were reruns of seinfeld, will&grace, etc. and for the amount of hrs i was pulling, the pay wasn't enough. i moved on.

Yikes! Another Hawai'i person working long hours. I 'specially feel your pain, Mr. jholic, having to watch those junk shows, hahhaah. Was that a retail job, just wondering?

actually, no. i work in telecommunications. i know retail is tough in terms of meeting quotas, etc, but do they need to work long hours? i've always thought they were paid 'by-the-hour'? so whatever they were scheduled, they worked.

one of my friends worked at the waikiki bvlgari. he worked pt, less hours, and yet got paid MORE than my full-time job! i couldn't believe it. and then he quit his job! :shocked:

i know retail isn't a dream job, but c'mon!

Yeah, retail does pay some big bucks. Benefits are good too. :D

I know for a fact that the store managers are balling.

I hate my supervisor..she's the most unfair fake bitch ever.
and I hate most of the counselors as well..they always talk shit.

Only two more days of work and I'm out of that crappy place :woot: :woot: :woot:

It's that free family medical insurance that has me stuck there.

Interesting point of view...

------------------------------------

Why is there a 13 month bonus when its really
isn't a bonus?
The mystery is finally revealed!

When the British were in Singapore, they were
being paid weekly
& they argued that Singaporeans were

actually being cheated into believing that the
13th month pay
is a bonus.

Singaporeans are being paid monthly which is
equivalent to 4
weeks pay coz there are 4 weeks in

a month.

As the British were paid weekly, it worked out
to the same.

You see, there are 7 days in a week.

4 weeks in a month.

12 months in a year.

Then 12 months should work out to 48 weeks
only.

But 1 year worked out to 52 weeks!!! Hence the
13th month is
your own pay (not bonus??!!).

So, the British argued that there is in fact
no bonus at all???
It is a very simple calculation that

stunned many!!!!

BONUS ??? What bonus???

:woot: :woot: :woot:

Well I understand why aho complain about his jobs....

But it's the price to pay to live in Hawai :)
