The CTA should start paying me

I say this not only because I think everyone should pay me, but because they clearly don't think staffing is that important. I know they always do construction during non peak hours, which is normally just a little inconvenient, but essentially you can get where your going with just a little thought. This past weekend the CTA went a little crazy and decided to close just about every train going to the downtown area. Both the red and blue lines where closed under ground. And everything else was only running on the outside of the loop. Then the lines switched colors in the middle of the loop, and people where all confused. For the past three days I feel like I've helped more lost people find their way then I have in my whole life. No one really made it to work on time. The best part of the whole thing was the bitchy people who didn't want to walk to the other side of the loop. For those of you who don't get this the train that runs in the loop has stops like every freaking block. The distance between the inside and the outside of the loop is like five freaking blocks. And if that doesn't work there are like a million and a half buses to take. I admit the CTA could have and should have done a much better job informing customers, but customers could also be a little less stupid. Thats all I'm saying

I want a 7 thousand dollar raise

Apparently it's what the those who belong to the Illinois state legislator get. Even better they are suppose to get a raise for not doing their job. Thats the best part. I think that if I got my 7 thousand dollar raise couldn't be worse at least I do my job. I get that the suggestion comes from and independent board. But come one now this is the State of Illinois, is it even possible to have and independent board. I sure it just made up of more people who contributed to someones campaign, or some senators, in laws. Apparently that is the only way we know how to do business in the state of Illinois. I wouldn't even care if the state was run that way, if things got done. That is not the case in what has become the sad sad state of Illinois. They are really good at increasing taxes especially in the lovely city and county I currently call home. Again I wouldn't even mind paying more if we were getting more, but that is really never the case is it.

Ouch Ouch Ouch

After two overnights I feel like I've actually started over with my pain. Except this time everything hurts. I'm so tired I feel like I could sleep for a week. The best part of this whole experience is that I smacked my eye on a sign holder. It was metal (though not sharp) so it hurt like hell. Its funny because when I was walking around with ice on my boss where like what the hell happened. I was really too tired to explain well, but then they yelled at me for standing on a cart. Which is funny because I never hurt myself doing stupid shit, just normal shit, but then they weren't really being mean just looking out for me. Then I smacked my hand on the escalator which was moving and hurt my finger, not bad, but at that point I said to my co-worker that I think I need to go home before I accidentally kill myself. At least I don't have a black eye, and least I think I don't I didn't really look well, but its kind of by my eyebrow, so I don't think you could see it anyways because of my glasses.
I just got back from the chiropractor, and my back was all crazy, which didn't come as a big surprise because it hurt like hell. When she finished, she had adjusted so much that not I kind of feel nauseous. I really want to go back to bed, but then I might not sleep tonight, such hard decisions to make. I can barely think straight.
