Wow. Just wow.

There are some days where I wonder how I do it; like today for instance. I managed to put just barely enough tip money into the bank so that my bills would get paid. I was planning on starting July off right by having my bill payer service make payments to my credit cards every other day. My theory was that if each day I throw pocket change at the credit card, the average daily balance will continue to decrease, thus lowering the total amount of monthly interest I get charged. Tomorrow during my morning off to recover from the comedic glory that is DeathMatch, I will see if I can build a spread sheet to prove my point.
There are days, coincidentally enough today as well, where I wonder why I still bother to show up at work. Is the money worth proving that I'm a good guy and can do a pretty menial job really well? Work is starting to wear on me, which bodes ill for the future of the summer. Several people have already left and I am considering leaving. However, before that happens I think that I may need to leverage a raise by the fact that I am staying and doing more work than most. We'll see what happens. The first tactic with that is not that I'm better than everyone, but that my cost of living has gone up. After that I play the I'm better than everyone who works here and better than those that have left.
We'll see what happens. The real question is, how many human resources managers are looking at this right now? That could be amusing.
