I was cut in my hours about this time last year. I was told that when I got my act together they would give them back. WEll its been a year almost, and I've done everything I can to do what was to be done.

They had no intention of putting me back to the 24 hours a week I had, they cut me to 16 hours a week. I love my job, and don't want to quit.
But they did decide in June to tell me that I would be getting hours back.
But not how many. Of course they made it sound like all my hours. So I was so happy, and I knew it would be August 1st. Well the day came, and I've had one paycheck and knew it would be just a couple of hours that would show, but nah not a sign of them.

So I asked if I was forgotten, and if it was happening, or if I misunderstood and it would happen on September 1st thinking okay I can wait one more month. I got a email back, oh sorry, it happens but its just back to 19 hours,
you aren't getting the 24 back, we never said that.

So I was depressed, I've got so many doctor bills, and so does Derrick. My husband works as a electrician, and its a day to day job. So we have to worry about that, but our insurance is through the union and its the best.

So that isn't a problem usually, unless the hours in the bank go down.

But I decided to let them know how unhappy I was, and I got back a disappointment in you type email, because I put some personal thoughts in the email. Well gosh, its not my fault they hire others, and cut the hours of those that have been on the staff for a while.

But I am not quitting, and I just decided to try and find a second part time job. And today I got a reply to a email I sent to a job in the local paper about a

place that is coming to our area, that needs people to work with developmentally disabled individuals, in the kind of things I would love.

But I was very honest and told them that because of my asthma I can't clean, but could do about anything else.

So I'm hoping that when they send a application, thats what they wanted a address to send the application to today. That I'll get a chance.

Donna,

As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. I hope you get this
2nd part time job.

Befuddled you weren't. I thought honestly

Great minds think alike.

So see, we are all great minds.

Good luck Donna. You are right this new opportunity may be the one for you.

Wishing you lots of luck!!!!!

Another saying: There is light at the end of the tunnel......well at least I keep telling myself that.

Have a good weekend.

Hugs, Nikko

Thanks to you both

And Nikko, I have to believe this might be my light at the end
of the tunnel.

As crazy as this may sound, I try to live in the moment, which I haven't been doing a good job at all. I figure what will be will be.

But, usually it does help.

Hugs, Nikko
