I’m a passenger while we go to BJs so I figured I have time to write here. I talked to my boss and the store manager yesterday and they kept saying the hours were a mistake and I’ll get more next week. I still think it’s bullshit and I don’t trust them. I’m still applying and getting my resume out there when I see something. I’m not sure I can rely on this job to provide the hours I need to support my family.
Part of this crappy week’s low hours is three days off. I go back on Thursday. I plan to hit the river on the kayak tomorrow with a small waterproof container for my phone. This would help if I take a spill getting out. I stink at getting out of the kayak. I also need to mow the lawn so I can see the house from the road! Well it’s not that bad but it’s a jungle. I’ll post a lot on here and I’m trying to do more status updates on Facebook. Is that still popular these days? I’m always behind.
In my time off Deb, Alex, Scott Jr, my Mom and I traveled to the CT/RI border to go to the beach and a few other places. It was a lot of fun and I hated to come home but I had to.
I had no idea just how messed up work would be when I returned. I don’t want to get into too much detail but I’m lacking hours again and my boss pretty much gave me a figurative “slap in the face” by his actions. I’m fed up and I’m just going to spend every free moment looking elsewhere. It’s really just ridiculous how I’m being treated. Writing about it now fires me up again. I’ll end this now and update when I get a good job lead or interview.
Today I worked 10-5 and I was by myself at the tech bench the whole time. It was quiet as far as customers go but it was nice not having to be concerned with another tech. The day went by quickly and enjoyably. I have the next two days in a row off.
On my way home from work just after 5 PM the highway was backed up so I got off an exit close my Mom’s and visited her. I mentioned that we wanted to go on a day trip and asked if she wanted to go. She was up for it and she’s here spending the night before we go on a trip tomorrow. We’re going to the beach down in RI and a Children’s Museum in CT. We’re kind of figuring the rest out as we go along. It should be fun.
Today was a very busy day so it went by fast. I made a lot of good customer contact with one big sale. I sold a package totaling over $1500, $600 of which was the laptop itself. I did everything I was asked to do and sold things they want us to sell. It was not a 13 hour day so I enjoyed it.
When I left for work Alex had no rashes and was feeling great. I checked in with Deb and she said it seemed like they might be coming back. Thankfully, they never did and she went to bed in her bed feeling fine. I hope it stays that way. I was pretty worried about her because she was nauseous and had rashes all over. It’s late and I have an easy day tomorrow.

Alex just woke up and came out to see me and she has no rashes at all now. It was pretty much all over her body and scary looking. It wasn’t exactly as heat rash was described online but I think it was something like that. She’s feeling 100% better now so I can go to work and not worry. Thank goodness.
