Reply #12: I know they're probably calling me a ballbuster every time

I walk in the door.

Yes, I do want to work there. I would make $5 more an hour than what I already make at my current job. The benefits are excellent-I could finally afford to take my daughter off of state-assisted health insurance and insure her through work. And I would have weekends off-a rare find in my area.

They always seem to hire 18 year old boys who work for a month or two and then quit, off to a party or whatever. And they whine about the working conditions, saying that it's too hot for them. Me-I'd act like I was in a sauna because I'd be glad to know that I'm making decent money to support my daughter. They whine about not getting time off to go out while I'd be happy to get a weekend off to take my scout troop camping.

I'm short and I look about 10 years younger then I really am. (I'm 32). Plus, I look rather feminine. All that does count against me in a man's world. But I can do the work and would be glad to, just to have a decent paycheck to support my daughter. I wouldn't whine and complain because I know the office work I'm trained for pays nothing around here and I'd be happy just to make some money. And I have family around town to watch my daughter while I'm at work all night.

I just wish they'd see the positives. They haven't in the past.
