Life
The stress that is my life continues.
To catch up:
Tom had surgery on his back on Halloween, a bilateral micro diesectomy on his lumbar spine. He is out of commission for minimum of 3 months. He's healing well the doctor says and his pain is to be expected. He sleeps a lot and isn't able to do much. and if course his depression is not getting better with him being alone most days all day!
I am still working 2 jobs, 29 hrs a week for any everyday from 8:15-12:15, ish, after I drop James at school After I finish at Andy's I go to JoAnn fabric and crafts where I usually work for another 8 hrs from 2-10, getting home at around 11, just to get up and 6:30 and do it all again! Lately I've been averageing 36-38 hrs. I like my job but it's had some big changes lately that I'm not sure I like. My favorite manager gave her 2 weeks notice last Sunday, her last day is this coming Sunday. I don't want her to go, she's the only reason I don't mind closing every flipping night! Toni is an great person but I can understand why she's leaving. Jillian is also leaving- another manager. I didn't work with her often but I really like her, she's going to another job she's been after for awhile, better hours, full time, benefits, the whole 9. Shea, another full time person have her notice as well because new, part time, people were getting more hours than she was. She had been getting shit for his with little to no thanks. So now two key holder positions are open, one full time one part time- which is the same position i was being trained for in Sevierville but decided to come back to the Knoxville store- and one full time position. I considered applying, mostly for the benefits but the last few months have been really rough. JoAnn has been shorthanded for months and the workload has been more and more. With the holidays coming it's not gonna get any better. I wish i could do the part time keyholder, is really like to but they would have to do a back ground check and we all know how that would go and it would probably get me fired... If I'm lucky. At least I'm making decent money. Which is good given the ongoing medical bills and car repairs.
So much more to say but it's getting late and i have to be up by 6:15
