One of the best definitions of “impotent fury” is as follows…
I work at a job that is based on service to the public…they come in, order food, eat it and leave, I clean up their friggin’ mess. I don’t sit on my fat ass, drinking beer and put off taking an order or leave their food sit til it’s cold before I get it to their table. How long would I have my job if that IS how I did my job? My payday was last Saturday, Oct. 15th. Today is Oct. 20th and guess what!? I still haven’t gotten my friggin’ paycheck!!!! I can’t say the bossman is sooooo busy…I mean last night he had time to sit in the bar and get totally blitzed. To me, that is a slap in the face, to go in hoping to get my paycheck (already 5 days late) and hear that he isn’t back with the checks cuz he spent the night at the bar cuz he was too drunk to drive back to Dodge. As upset with this situation as I am, at least I do make tips and have cash in my pocket when my shift is done. People in the kitchen, they are just working without any pay at all. I was able to go to savings and pay my electric bill on time…today…what are some of those people doing? But, jobs in Cimarron are hard to find with all the businesses closing. So, you just bend over take one for the ole team in hopes that all the late fees don’t drown you. If it wasn’t for Duane’s job I’d have to drive to Dodge for a minimum wage job and spend the saved money of late fees on gasoline. It’s a friggin’ no win situation…IMPOTENT FURY!!!!

Geeze. What is it with the management pool in Southwest Kansas?
If ya ever get sick of it, you can always come up here and teach people how to dial their cell phones for $7.50 an hour. And the hospital in Manhattan just expanded and the one in JC is expanding. Plus I know a place in Milford with really cheap rent!

It’s gotta be an epidemic out here. Even Duane came home from work the other morning and said he’d had it with nursing. At least he gets a decent check…his overtime, reg pay and a bonus made his last two weeks work worth $2500…AFTER taxes were taken out. Shoot man, I’d work a year to earn that! (then spend a couple months waiting for the boss to give me the check!)
