Well,
we lost 2 workers in 2 weeks, one walked off in the middle of a shift and the other neglected to call in for like 4 days and never showed up for any of those days.
So, it looks like I may be getting in some extra time, this is a good thing.
Yeah, it is a bit of a pain to have to get the extra hours and grind through each and every day, but, hey, at least the shift will be covered and i get some serious OT.

I hope I get to work Christmas or thanksgiving or maybe new years, major pay increase there, I think it is like 2 and a half times your normal pay rate.
I can forsee myself getting some new toys for Christmas.....

Found out I was eligible for health care coverage today too.
Although I am gonna decline it, no offense, I mean, the benefits are halfway decent, but the deductible is murder and its a 50 dollar a week draw from my check, I simply can't afford it.
There is no prescription help and even the hospitilization paln is kinda pricey, were talking an 80/20 split.
while 80 percent is a fair amount, the 20 can be pretty damn expensive in itself.

Now I wouldn't mind the 401K plan....

===============================================================
I was glad to see Katprr on the board, I have been thinking about her a lot lately, I worry about people I consider my friends, and she is no exception.
I know she has been having a rough time of it lately, and it breaks my heart to know that other than moral support, I can do nothing to help her.
I would love to be able to give her a hug and reassure her that things will be ok.

She helped me when I really needed someone to talk to about mom having cancer, and she helped me prepare the kids a bit for what lies ahead as far as grandma getting chemo treatments and stuff.

I got a notice today from the court, my court date was cancelled because the babys dad has dissappeared and they can't find him.
The S.O.B KNEW that the court was gonna order a DNA test and he KNEW that the test would prove that he was Liz's dad.
I know, I know, I know, Karma is a bitch, and she will turn around and bite him on the ass.
Yes, they have his social security number, and thats all they need, once he gets a job they will have him nailed to the wall.
Too bad what he has done isn't against the law.
Too many fathers do the same thing, they manage to avoid the courts for years and years and years.

I'm sure if I sweet talk the right people I can get some info for the courts.
He is sooooo gonna regret the day he fucked with my daughters life by denying her the right to know who she is and her heritage.


Ok, I am done ranting for now, I am off to bed, 6 AM comes too damn early.

Night!
