wednes | Finally, some good news:

For those of you who don't know, I've been very worried about my job. They've been cutting my hours back for a while now, culminating in some 15-20 hour weeks for me. While I can, in fact, live on that; I'd really rather have more money to do stuff with. Not having any kids, I do enjoy the disposable income once in a while. Plus I like to contribute to the household expenses so H doesn't have to pay everything himself.

I had a meeting with my boss today, who assuaged my fears in a big way. We (ie The Company) are not looking to lay anyone off. In fact, they like me, like my work and are going to be training me to do some new stuff after the holidays. They like the work I do on the phones and with the call center newsletter. So that is all very cool. After the holidays there will be people shifting jobs and as long as I can deal with irratic hours once in a while, I have no fear of losing my job anytime soon.

That said, after I get off tonight I am not back at work until Tuesday, when I am working a 2-day work week (tuesday and friday). I'm only working a 3-day week the following week, though both weeks will seem like more because of Holiday pay.

Anyway, I'm very pleased about all this!!
And a little less pleased that we're about to get a crazy blizzard tonight.
