I really have started to hate that
I have wanted to stay at home for the past 3 days. Tomorrow I am taking off at lunch to go take care of somethings that I can't ordinarily do because I get home at 6:30 pm everyday. My gracious employer could care less that an extra 12.5 hours of my life is thrown away every week just to come do this job. My supervisor asked if there was a possibility if the company could help me out as far as gas goes. Let me tell you what my supervisor told me after he came back from the meeting. My employer told him that things were tight and that if they could do anything; it wouldn't be much. Which all in all translates into --- we're not going to do a dang thing.
I mean come on! If you had a dependable, hardworking employee that was willing to drive 130 miles round trip which takes 2.5 hours out of her day away from her family to come work for you wouldn't you do something to make it worth her while?????
Sorry for the rant -- but I do get a little whiney sometimes.
Thankfuls:
1. I am thankful I have a job.
2. I am thankful for the right to free speech.
3. I am thankful for what little bit of patience I have.
Al Capone Update:
Al Capone came by the shop today for a visit and we all loaded up and went out to lunch with him at lunchtime. He went to the doctor on Monday -- they found two places that were in early Stage 2. He will be going to get a CT/PET scan and a bone marrow test done tomorrow. Then next week, he will start his treatments. Thank you for your prayers so far, but please continue to keep him there.
Thanks.

Hey Don't apologize for the Whine. It's your blog you can whine if you want to. I need to take my own advice huh? LOL I apologize with every post instead of putting up a warning label.
A couple of ladies that used to work with me did the same thing for 7-10 years between them. They complained about the pay about all you can do is just save the receipts and claim the gas as an unreimbursed work expense. You could have another job lined up...... hmmm.....
Big Hugs! You aren't the only one with a case of the blahs. I've been battling them all January.
Sorry that things seem like they suck right now. The weather will get better soon and the days are starting to get longer, that always makes me feel better. If your employer doesn't appreciate you start sending out some resumes, maybe you will find one that does.
I feel for you. I have 2 hours every day, DH almost 3. Commuting sucks.
Uggh. I feel your pain. Most of my jobs the last few years, I have had to hop on a plane to do (which sounds a lot more glamorous that it is). This last gig, I left the house at 5am, and got home at 8pm. Nothing like 15 hours in the car to make me not want to leave the house for another week.
Podcast are good, too. I am going to try and burn you a couple of discs this week. I have all the cast ons and a few audible books.
Hang in there! As for the SOTSii, don't sweat it. You'll get to it, when you get to it. If you are feeling really bad, cast on something easy:) Atleast that's what I would do.
Big hug,
Shan
