Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

DamonK · 05-14-2010, 08:04 PM

Chocolate fondue? Did I read that?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I'd like that with strawberries. Or cherries. Or..oh what the hell those things called?...pixy sticks. I find it in oriental foods. Thin bread wafer with...something on the end. It's yummy.

And yes, I do assume the job is full-time. *shrugs* That's what we discussed. Didn't occur to me to double check.

However, at work today, my now former supervisor got immense amusement out of the week off at the end of my notice. And asking LOTS of questions about FTM.

It kinda made me nervous. Being a catholic place and all...

Hmm...could use something sweet now.

hello Damon and welcome. and im quite sure my sweetie made EXTRA fondue bc she knows im a greedy bitch and dont always share *goes and finds back up fondue* help yourself!

a week off at the end of your notice is awesome...did you plan that or just get lucky???

DamonK · 05-14-2010, 08:17 PM

Well...

THAT is an interesting story.

When I was hired by my current company, it was under the assumption it was full time. About 2 hours after I got the job, I was told there was a mix up, but not to worry cuz I would get 64 hours a paycheck (2 wks). So I wasn't too worried.

MBE noticed that they cut me down from 8 days to 7.

That may not seem much on the scheme of things, but, my ins costs me approximately $250/mo. Therefore, approximately 1 day a week, I worked for free. Well, for my ins.

My ADON insisted I requested a couple of days off, when I did not. I get every other weekend off. And she put me in for days off before that.

Thus, a week vacation that I didn't want.

When the ADON was asked about this, because I was not the only one (one of my coworkers received at least 10 days off), we (part-timers) were told "we have to fit you in where we can around full-timers."

We have 3 full-timers. We have 6 part-timers.

We're short staffed most days.

Yet they cut hours.

Congrats on the new job Damon!!!

Oh I might have to be sociable here.... *pouring myself a cup of coffee and adding a shot of Bailey's* ....welcome Cinderella!

Wow Damon...that stinks to be messed with by an employer like that. Sounds like it may have all worked out well in the end though.

Hope you two enjoy your weekend!

violaine · 05-14-2010, 09:23 PM

dear jo and scoote,

i hope little molecules made of rich, sweet aroma - freshly brewed coffee- travel down the hallway to reach your noses, and it's ever so delightful to savour!

happy weekend-
