Sing with me, "work sucks, it really really sucks"

Prepare for vent...
I don't think I can stand my job for very much longer. I work at CompUSA, at one point I could honestly say that it was the best job I ever had. Everybody I worked with was cool, everybody was laid back. Then it all went to shit. They laid more then half the store off, and left me to do a 4 to 5 person job by myself. I guess my job title would be Merchandising, but lately they want me to work warehouse as well. Which also took a major hit in the lay offs. I put up with for a while, except the have me working in the warehouse most of the time. Which doesn't really bother me. Recently though we had the store audited, and we failed miserably, and it all came down on me, since I'm the major one to keep the store looking good, even though im back in the warehouse majority of the time.
Well now, my GM wants me to basically redo the whole store, make sure every shelf tag is out and current, do the ads everyweek, pull all nighters working in the store fixing it up, and working in the warehouse. Everything has to be caught up in under 10 days, and I have a vacation over the weekend coming up. So that leaves me with even less time.
At the moment I'm being paid $8.50/hour, which with the stress I feel im under now and the amount of work I do feels extremely low. They told me I would get a raise at 6 months, well it is now 8 months and they just keep saying, "well get to it" blah, blah, blah. Apparently my raise is only gonna be about %10.
Which also gets me thinking, does anybody else know what other merchandisers/warehouse recievers at other stores gets paid? I feel like my time and energy spent on working hard to keep the GM happy is worth more the $8.50/hour. But if thats the standard pay for my position then I'm more content with it, even though I still wont' like it.
GARRRRRRRG!!!!!!
Phew.... K I'm done bitching now... It was a rough day.
