slavery



Today, I got a taste of my first headquarters. It was not as I expected. Somehow, it is an understatement that I am disappointed. Not so much with the place but rather with the "system". I thought that the headquarters would be filled by volunteers busy preparing for the campaign... well... that's exactly what happened in my imgination. Not so in real life.

There was a task done today and it was so menial that it can be counted as factorywork. Staff are not supposed to do it unless they do so willingly. Shall we say that I have done the deed unwillingly. Imagine a person who has a masteral degree -- or bachelor's degree in law stapling posters. How come we don't have people to command?

One thing is certain in this world we live in - money gives comfort. Which my boss has but does not want to let go. Fuck....

It was such a sad reality that other employees get to have their own people to order around. Instead of doing the job themselves, they get to navigate. This is another reason why I hate the Head Exec. Ass. of my boss -- he's really a pain in the neck! If he would have another name, it would have been - ASSHOLE! Yep, that's what he is. He's a powertripper ego maniac. Fuck... I will never forgive him for "ordering" me to stay late. I don't stay late at work, specially so when I come in early. DUH! Do they pay me that much to work for them for 12 freaking hours? I don't think so. Anyway, if they want me to stay late-- i will come in late. The Labor Code provides the legal working hours, and that is 8 hours. Excess of that -- they have to pay Overtime and Night Differentials! Beat that ass kisser!

I felt like a factory worker.
