Long time, no blog

I'll admit it! My blogging and the updates on the website have been more than slim...they have been limited to NONE! I am sorry about this but with the end of the year crap getting crazy, I found no time to update. But hey here I am updating now, and i suppose I can tell you a little about whats on my mind today.

I am sick of Pizza Hut; Just plain sick of it. I get paid $8.50/hour (only a dollar more than a cook makes), to do three times the work that should be done at that pay rate. On Saturday, i was the closing manager and I was forced to call of my cook because of how "not busy" the were in the afternoon. If I didn't comply, I would have surely been written up. So...I was forced to work with one waiter and myself in the entire restaurant during a Saturday rush. I had to cook, cut, box, cash out, and listen to customer complaints, all for 8.50 an hour. After the dust settled and we weren't busy anymore, it was 9:30pm.. we were closing in a half hour and because I didn't have a cook or anything, I had 3 times the work that I would normally have to do. So... instead of just having to do a few dishes and do my paperwork, I had to clean the entire shit-whole, sweep, mop, clean the make and cut tables, finish prep for the next day, and do my ending paperwork. I didn't get out until 11:30...BUT heres where it gets illegal: I clocked myself out at 10:45 because I know that I would have gotten yelled at BAD if the clock would have showed that I was clocked in for an hour and a half after we closed.

All-in-all, Pizza Hut hasn't been to bad to me, until I got promoted. SOOO I have two options:
1) ask for a demotion with the risk of being fired
2) take a sabbatical and travel Africa
