At my job bagging groceries, I make the fairly good starting pay of $6.35 an hour. Pay is given out on friday for the previous weeks pay period (Sun-Sat). I had a an orientation last week,but I wasn't sure how many hours it was, and then today I got my paycheck. I open it up, not sure how much it is for...

$5.60, for 1 hour!! LOL! It's almost pitiful in a way.

The sad thing is $.75 was taken off by the government before I even got to see it! I just thought I'd share this funny little story. I am however glad I am now earning a paycheck. It is a nice feeling to see your hard work pay off. Next week my pay check should be bigger since I got to work about 11 hours, and I may get to work tomorrow yet too!
