token payment

I was asked to run an errand at the home office. My payment is ... [drum roll please], a half-hour of pay, as I was directed to adjust my clock data an additional half hour for my trouble. Let's see, last time I didn't get a thanks for running around a couple places in town for stock they didn't have. This time, while I'm in town, run to home office and pick up stuff for a "quarter" essentially. So, I get no "thanks", but "okay".

There is no equitable trade here, for what do I get in return ... little/nothing.

I'll trade my half-hour pay for each of the "uppers" to do 30 minutes of work at my pace, more especially the pointless paperwork that tends to keep me there late at night. For that, I'll be happy to run to home office on way to work more often. The migratory humpbacks don't swim like dolphins or sailfish. I, myself, work and move like a sailfish (or related species Marlin). I dare them to pick up their pace!

I'm still looking for another job, as I spend too much time venting.
