I am officially retired.........from my present job that is........at least I think so..... I was sposed to be done 3 weeks ago...........but they keep calling me back......and sucker that I am , I keep helping them out... Dale has finally gotten to the other side of the ford plant where they get all the OT they want......so I got to quit my job !!! he had to go on overnights first so I left the overnights I was doing and was going in at 5:30 am when he got home to cover someone who had surgery........well it turned into 3 weeks instead of 1........it was getting too much for Dale to sleep a lil and then get the young un off to school and then go back to bed...( funny tho that that's what I did when I worked overnights and he had no problems with ME doing it )..so he told me to tell em sunday was my last day !!! Lucked out the lady who was off can come back this week.....but when i said to the manager that I'm finally done she said " well don't say that yet " arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh ! I don't think they really want to lose me but ...............dang I just haven't had time for here..........:hurts:and most of you know about my lovely job and how much I LOVED it....... retired just in time for spring and summer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the way things have gone for us the last year, why shouldnt it continue??? I'm torn as to what to do about my job. we were gone to Ohio for Dales dads funeral upon my return home I knew I was scheduled to work friday and sunday. Knowing that I had saturday off Dale accepted work for saturday. I go inot work friday afternoon and see that she had put me on the schedule for saturday. I asked her when she did this and she explained that since the new hire didnt work out ( show up) she had to put me on. Well I explained to her i could not work because Dale had to work and I do not have a babysitter. She ( the manager)asked me when he would get off so maybe I could come in later. I didnt know what time, we never know what time when he works saturdays but usually its 10 - 8. It would be no use for me to come in that late as my shift would end at 10:30. She said that she had had to work for some others so she guessed she could work for me also. This is where the conversation ended. Well guess what.....she didnt show up for the shift saturday.......neither of us did. But guess who is getting blamed for it? As soon as I heard what had happened I tried to call her, both her cell and home...she wouldnt answer. I left a message. I called the assistant manager and talked with her. She told me the manager took me off the schedule and she ( the manager)wouldnt talk to me til monday , when she was back on her regular schedule!!! So I called the manager monday and she pretty much layed blame totally on me for what happened. I appologized and said obvioulsy it was miscommunication.she tried to tell me the last thing said between us was what time does dale get off so maybe you can come in late....and since no more was said, she figured i was just going to come in. She appears to not be taking any responsibilty for what happened , which really upsets me. It was obviously a miscommunication and I have admitted to my share of it and appologized to her and to the person who had to come in and cover the shift. On our phone conversation she said she would talk to the District manager and tell him we had spoken and see what he wants to do. Well I havent heard anything back. I contacted the owner and let him know what had happened and how I feel im being treated unfairly....the general manager them contacted me and said she wants to get this straightened out between us that maybe I should go talk to the manager and she would come also if I wanted her to. I'm so frustrated, I have always worked when asked to, helped out by staying over some hours into the next shift when someone couldnt come in, worked overnights to train a new person....i have missed one day in the last year, other than the time i had to take off for the funeral, always busted my butt for them ( in fact I was in for a raise) This is a new manager who has been there for 1 1/2 months now and I have gotten along fine with her, no problems til now. We do have some other issues going on about me switching back to overnights because of Dales schedule now, which I was told I could have because the night guy was going to be transfering to another store to be assistant manager, well some probs have come up with that and we dont know if he is leaving or staying now. Because of this thinking i was going to overnights I turned down my chance for the after school program for haylie that ive been trying to get inot since school started, I told them to give it to the next person waiting because i would be going to overnights. So now I have no child care for afterschool so I cant work the shift i was on. What a mess. I have even agreed to cut my number of days down for a while and take the 2 overnights available and wait to see what happens with the other guy transferring. sorry about the rambling but im so frustrated, cant afford to be without a job.and really dont know if I want to go back there now.........
