I’m Gonna Be Screwed

Well, I got my first paycheck from the new job today. It turns out I'm not an employee, (see, you shouldn't assume anything) but a contractor. Wish that had been explained up front. So, no taxes paid on my behalf and I'm gonna be fucked at the end of the year. Last I checked, even contractors around here made more than $12/hr. Top that off with the frustration I was feeling of trying to talk to the client whose menu they were having me do that doesn't really speak English. Yeah, not worth what they're paying.

Stupid me. Like I said, once this magazine of theirs goes to press, I'm done. I'd almost go back to my old job over this one (if they'd move to Castle Rock).
