I’m not one to keep secrets, so when I find out things like grade school teachers make a lot more money than I do, or that postal workers make a lot more money than I do, I tell my boss. I think he’s reasonable enough to know that cheap labor comes with its drawbacks and unless he wants to outsource everything to someone incompetent or someone in a third-world country, he’s going to have to listen to some complaining. The past few days have been especially bad for me. Some of my co-workers (one in particular) is driving me nuts. One of my peers at work usually has that problem but now it’s my turn to be annoyed at the particular co-worker and my peer is able to ignore the irritations.

I better keep my eyes peeled for civil service tests, especially with the US Postal Service, if I want to raise my pay level. Computers are for the birds.
