the predicament:
i think i need a new job.
one that doesn't fuck me and then piss in my mouth with the amount of money i'm paid(or rather lack there of.)
i really like my workplace, mostly and until lately.
it started out as just a temporary solution to my financial woes, and i ended up staying for now 9 months.
i work with my best friend, i have grown fond of most of my other co-workers, i even dig the owner. (he is, however, totally insane.)
out of loyalty, i have stayed this long.
but you know the old adage:one bad apple....
there are thieves in our midst, and this dishonesty has led to mistrust and bad blood and balls to the wall hatred amongst us all.
the tension is palpable.
i dread getting up in the morning.
the decision was made to find another job. pronto.
the proposition:
my manager and the owner both know i'm seeking other work.
they also know why.
today they approach me with their plan.
the problem has been that the daily totals are far lower then they should be.
there are many tedious details that explain how they know this, but i won't bore you with them.
what they need is someone they trust in the afternoons keeping tabs on the cheats. i will have the official title of Supervisor. once the problem has been solved and our totals regularly exceed a certain amount, i will be given a raise and he will institute health benefits for all staff. they are also willing to be completely flexible with my scheduling once school begins.
the deal breaker:they need to know by tomorrow.
i know it seems trite, but this involves responsibilities i didn't really want.
but i also like it there, and the end result should rid us of the problems that are causing the stress, thereby eliminating that which makes me want to leave.
it's all too much.
how is everyone?

the last thing anyone wants is resposibility. what worries me is that your good enough at your job for them to offer you this position, if i have any good advice in the world to give it is this; only do enough to get by- in this case enough to not get you sacked. dancing on the knife edge between employment and unemployment is an art that i will make my lifes work to perfect.
