Bitch! I don't know your life!!!

Just cause.
I'm tired of being undervalued at work. I was informed Monday that I was going to be moved from a salary employee to an hourly one. It wouldn't be bad except they're low balling me and now hold all the cards as far as how much I make. I know Jim won't screw me over but I know that's not the case with the other powers that be. I've sucked it up and done EVERYTHING they've asked me to do. I taught myself my job. There was nobody there to help me out. Then to cut costs they thought it would be good if I cleaned the office and now I've had the entire rental job thrown on top of it. I've never been as stressed or as busy as I have been in the last month. Rarely do I have time to breathe let alone get my work done. I told Jim I didn't like that I was being moved to hourly but I guess he has no say either. If my hours get cut I won't have a choice anymore and they won't like what I have to choose.
To make my blood boil even more, I was praised for how well the rentals did last month (since I've taken over). Typically, that pat on the back would make me happy but instead it pissed me off. There is accounting proof that I'm doing decently well but they're still not going to reward me with a raise for taking on more work. Instead, I'll have a microscope on me and I'll be hassled daily to rent more cars. If that was the focus of my job that would be fine but in my opinion, and I would hope all of my bosses opinions, my main priority needs to be dealing with every issue in the body shop. ie. getting customers in, taking care of the insurance companies, and making sure that all of our AR is actually going to come to us. That's where my pay comes from so obviously that's what I'm going to spend the most of my time on.
After that rude awakening came on Monday, I've decided that I'm going to go back to school. I don't have it all figured out yet but hopefully I can transfer my credits to a community college and get my associates degree. There has to be some combination of the 100 credits I have that will equal not far from a degree. I've never been the type of person to aspire to do a certain job and that's hurt me but I've got to be able to do something else. I'm a smart girl. I pick up things very quickly and somehow I'm actually a people person when it comes to my job. I think working with insurance could be a good fit for me. I've seen one side of it and think that I'd be able to do the other side. I have to do something to help myself.
I also am planning on getting a car if I can get approved for one. It's looking more and more like that's got to come before moving out no matter how bad that makes me feel. I'm tired of working nonstop and having nothing to show for it. Doubt I go for a Toyota... those people pay my bills but I don't feel like paying them. Especially after I clean their toliet.
I guess that's enough ranting. I'll probably write a good spirited one here in a bit.
