I have opinions & I'm gonna tell ya

so what to write about? I havent really posted much personal stuff in my blog so far. Mostly ranting and raving bout things that bug me in life or talking about things I dig.

Well havent been to terribly happy with life lately. I got a promotion at work back at the beginning of May. I was given a small raise, but a raise just the same. Well up until about 2 weeks ago I wasnt getting paid said raise. I had a commission check coming and I knew it should be X amount and when it wasnt I did the math and found the issue. Long story short, they never told HR about my new position or raise and therefore I was getting paid at my old rate. For over 4 full months. So they did the math, I owe some back to them for my base salary (because of how I get paid now, more $ in commission but less base) and they have yet to determine how much they owe me in commission. The commish should more then take care of what I owe, in fact they should be paying me a decent amount in back pay when its done.

My role at work changed nearly 2 months ago and this means that some small things that I walked away from in my previous role I am now back doing again. Dont get me wrong there is less stress, I dont work overtime anymore, and my pay is better based on my success so far. But I took this new role with the idea that the stupid little things I hated bout my last role would no longer be on my shoulders, not any more. I dont feel like my new role is really a promotion any longer. Like I said its good and bad, and its not THAT bad so... I just dont feel as important and I dont feel I am being utilized to my utmost or the way I should be. It could be worse though, I work for a great company, and get pretty good pay so I should just STFU I know. Ok phew feel better, thx.

I am at least 30 pounds overweight. Said job doesnt help. I sit on my butt for about 10 hours a day. Between my drive to work and back and my 8 hours at work. I dont take breaks and besides lunch and bathroom runs I am at my desk. The environment I work in doesnt help with watching your weight either, not that I am though. I need to eat better and try to get some sort of exercise as its really starting to bother me mentally.

I really think I need to take a long hard look at things in my life, why am I just simply not happy most of the times? I feel angry most times by default. Hmm topic for another day perhaps.
