I must say that I love what I do at my job. Especially the Human Resources aspect of it. I mean, I am the one calling people about potential jobs, they get happy. I call them back for the next interview. I get the fun part of the process. I answer the phones, type reports (helping me feel less computer ignorant), plan meetings & order awards. I work 26 hours a week so I still feel like I have a fair amount of time with the family. Sometimes I am rushed, but it isn't that bad. So I get a call at 11:12 am today from the school. Micki got sick, has to come home.....I am supposed to leave for work in a half an hour. Short timing.....this sucks. So I call Spunky, and he says he'll pick her up from school and bring her home on his lunch break (at 11:30). I call work to tell them of the situation and offer ideas on how to cover my shift while I am not there. I know it is short notice and expect my boss to be somewhat put out by that. Boy oh boy was I mistaken. He was beyond put out and full on into raging pissed (for the suit that he is). During the course of our conversation he says "Well can't your husband take off work to watch her?" This is where the common sense thing gets me. My husband makes the money that pays the bills. I make the money that supplies the luxuries (gym membership, eating out, movies etc). So when a kid comes up sick, and someone has to call into work to take care of the kid, who would be the candidate to do that? Of course it is me. He can't risk his paycheck over taking off of work for this and he did do that the last two times the kids got sick. If one person has to call into work and potentially get into trouble for it, it's going to be the one with the expendable income. That's me. That's not news either. It's not like I hid that fact from my boss. He knows that this job is just to help ease finances from my husband until he finds something better. Sorry, just venting. Just thought, I have been there six months, shown up to work sick, was late once cuz of flooding and now I call in ONCE because my baby is sick and he gets all crazy about it. I did offer to go to work and have Micki do homework in the office. It's not like I didn't offer to be there. I was just suprised by my boss getting so upset that I have to take care of my child, all but insting that Trace risk his job to do it, knowing that I only make $220 a week. I mean where is the sense in that? |
shit happens. i wouldnt worry about it. ive had to do that recently with my part time job, which is retail. they may not like it but if they think for one minute that i would ever put them above my daughter, they are seriously mistaken. |
The opening was posted in August. I put in my permanent application in early September. When you are permanent then you accrue vacation hours based on time worked. And there are full benefits. I haven't heard a word on my application, no one has said a single word. I am still getting paid through the temp agency (and believe me it is definately payroll only) after 6 months. I don't mind really. It isn't THAT important to me. It's just that there should be some understanding and logic. If I was perm, then I would have vacation time available. But I'm not. I don't. I still have to take care of my daughter. BTW, how is Eva doing? Part time job? Lots must have changed while I was away at work. |
im a single dad. i work 7 days a week. the baby mama moved out and into a studio to pursue her fashiondreams. lives with a sweater boy "work partner". otherwise, eva is brilliant man, absolutely brilliant. |
as far as reasons to work hard go, a little baby girl has to be a good one. do you end up getting to spend much time with her after all that work? |
as a result, I think some of the indigo managers do not like me as much as they should. honestly, who can waste time caring? |
Not encouraging you to remarry or anything like that. You know that your life is up to you and what you want. I do KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that Eva is your main priority, and has been since her birth. I have been nothing but proud to see you that way Patrick. You are a good father, and good parents are hard to come by in this day and age. Sorry to hear about Momma. Hope you're doing well. Glad Eva's doing well. She's an adorable little girl. You know, if you ever need anything, whatever we can do we will. And I know it is hard working 7 days a week, but I'm sure you know that Eva is worth it, I don't need to tell you that. |
she goes to day care the weekend job is ideally a temporary scenario as Im hounding every god damn decent photographer in LA to hire me a few times a month to assist them, in which id make more in one day, than I do in a weekend at the retail photo supply job. its a real bitch and no, i dont have the amount of time i want with her, but am working my ass off to change that. |
