The story of my life, part 12

I read this quote recently in an article and it really struck me:

"The good workers get disheartened and demoralized if they see these non-performing workers making as much as them and they're not doing their job."

I have seen this daily since I started at the Hotel. It really does practically take an Act of God to get someone fired, unless of course, the state takes their license.

However, I am stubborn. I stick around and do my job to the best of my ability to spite them all (and trust me, there are enough of them). It's a challenge, but some days ARE really better than others (today was pretty decent).

I will let it all take its course before I decide to do something else, but the clock is ticking. I have never been so glad to be on the downside of my service contract for graduate school!
