You know what sucks? At 18 years old, I attended college right after high school. I was only able to attend one year, which was online college at that, and I couldn't go back the next year because I had to focus on making money. Work eventually consumed my time as well as responsibilities of being an adult such as bills. Why does this suck so bad? I'll tell you why. I work as a manager at a local retro video game store. As a manager I make $10 an hour. I am WAY underpaid, and they constantly pile more and more on me. I know you're thinking "It can't be that bad, every manager has a lot of responsibilities, that's why they're the manager." Yeah, I feel like I complain and that I'm complaining about nothing but... I have to run a Facebook page, I have to do things at the store, I have to run to the bank, I have to buy supplies for the store constantly, I even have to run an Amazon page all by myself in which I have to spend hours and hours of my work days AND my off days up there at the store to test games, post games on the Amazon page, clean them (the case and the game), package them up (which is a 4 step process itself), AND THEN I have to drive these games up to the post office ONCE A DAY EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK EXCEPT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. Now I will say that last week the owner offered me 10% of all sales on the Amazon page, but he also told me that I need to get 200 items on the page and keep it at a constant 200 or more. I don't know if that means if I don't I don't get paid that 10% or not. I don't know. On top of this, I have to take shit from the owners because of EVERY LITTLE THING INCLUDING IF WE DONT SELL A LOT IN A DAY AT THE STORE. I can't control if we don't sell enough in one day. They give me no way of advertising unless it's free and people don't really check our Facebook page and craigslist keeps taking our posts down because other competitors report the fucking posts to stop us from advertising. I even offered to do a free fucking commercial for them in which I wrote, filmed, edit and even got my friends to act in for free that they could advertise because I do film, and personally I think it's what I'm supposed to do in life and I'm very passionate about it. That's not what I'm ranting about though. I'm tired of being disrespected at work and underpaid. I ran out of fucking gas the other day delivering packages to the post office because doing so has used up my gas and I don't make enough money to afford bills on top of driving everywhere and not being reimbursed gas money. And if work wasn't bad enough, you know what college did to my credit score?! IT DROPPED MY CREDIT TO THE 300'S BECAUSE OF STUDENT LOANS!!! I WENT TO COLLEGE BECAUSE IT WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP ME IN LIFE AND ALL IT DID WAS FUCK ME OVER AND NOW I CANT GO BACK UNTIL ITS PAID OFF, I CANT GET ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH CREDIT NOW BECAUSE OF COLLEGE AND IM LUCKY TO EVEN BE WHERE IM AT IN LIFE NOW. On top of those, I also have an awful mother who keeps fucking up my life even though I don't have a whole lot to do with her including getting my car towed, AND THEN REFUSING TO PAY TO GET IT OUT EVEN THOUGH SHE DID IT(which is another stupid story on its own) AND THEN I HAD TO GET A $1200 LOAN FROM MY DADS BOSS WHO NOW WANTS IT ALL BACK WHICH IS COSTING ME MORE MONEY EVERY WEEK. OH AND SOME FUCKING COP FOLLOWED ME INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AT 11:21 AT NIGHT, WAITED FOR ME TO LEAVE MY CAR AND GO UPSTAIRS INTO MY APARTMENT AND THEN LEFT A TICKET ON MY CAR ALL NIGHT LONG AND FOR WHAT?!? FOR WHAT YOU MIGHT FUCKING ASK?!? A FUCKING EXPIRED TAG. Here's the crazy part too... I had the tag in my car. Next to my seat. I bought it. It was renewed. I just forgot to stick the sticker on my license plate. NOW I HAVE COURT IN 11 DAYS AND HAVE YO PAY $131 FOR SOMETHING HE COULDVE STOPPED ME FOR AND COULDVE BEEN CLEARED UP. I'm fighting that though. I can't afford $131... My point to all of this? I'm now 20 years old and everything has gone to shit for me. Welcome to adult hood. Really, all I want to do is quit work, forget all of these people and just sit at home all day with me fiancé while she makes all of these amazing things she does and I just want to make my videos. That's my passion. I don't want to be a video game store manager that gets treated like shit. I want to create entertainment for people everywhere in the world. I want to inspire. I want to be someone kids can look up to as they grow up and inspire them to go far in life... ... Maybe one day Damion... I'm done. Thanks for listening. 👍🏻
