"I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."

I got my two year raise today. It was more than I expected. At my current schedule, I make $10 more a week now. And that would come out to more than $500 extra a year. I guess that's acceptable. It’s acceptable for someone who doesn't have their college degree yet. I can't imagine working at my current job (or any of my past jobs) for the rest of my life. Each one has really been a means to an end for me. I need the money, I work. I don't need as much money, I don't work. Simple equation.
This job isn't really all that taxing. I don't dread going to work but I don't find myself terribly stimulated by my duties either. I guess it's a job and I should be lucky to have it, especially out here where people sit on the side of the road everyday and beg for money.
My duties were recently changed around and I find that I take fewer calls than everyone on my team. The last two hours of everyday, I average only 5 calls. That’s a lot of internet time. I wouldn’t feel so bad but I think other people are noticing and getting pissed off. I don’t blame them. It sucks to take phone call after phone call when the person next to you is sitting on the internet all day long. I feel bad but it isn’t my fault. The phone system routes the calls that way. I mentioned to my boss that it would be more beneficial for everyone if the work-load was more even among the staff but I’m sure that my opinion doesn’t really matter.
