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.

And when I crawl in bed and give kisses.

Any more questions sweet love?

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

That's so sweet of you...thank you!

I do love that smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning...nothing quite like it, is there?

Hope you have a lovely weekend as well my friend

musicman · 05-15-2010, 04:19 AM

Good morning Honies and Homies, I see last night was a success

Some new family members (must have been the fondue) Sorry i didn't make it to play, but it would have been embarrassing dropping all that food in the fondue and then finding a willing participant to kiss

I was horizontal and out early last night. It sounded like everyone had a good time.

Ok, breakfast this morning will be omelets, sausages,crispy hash browns, home made bread,fruits, coffee,juice, Dr. Pepper for Scoote.

Freyja if you could handle the music for this morning that would be great.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Sachita · 05-15-2010, 04:57 AM

One of my favorite things is someone bringing me a wonderful cup of coffee in bed, a back rub and breakfast. I had a lover once that did this for me every morning. Too bad the "other" things weren't quite as nice, however dont think I didn't let it drag on! lol

Mornings are my favorite time. I brought my fountain from the back deck to the front porch. I have a door w/screen from my bedroom to the front porch. I can now open the door and hear the water falling. It's a beautiful thing.

Scoote there are ice cream places everywhere in Florida. They are across the street from all the liquor stores. Have you two spent much time in Florida before deciding to live there? A good part of the year its awful hot. I'd love to have two places- one in Adirondacks and another maybe SC by the beaches.

freyja · 05-15-2010, 05:13 AM

Goooooood morning kitchen peeps,

As always, breakfast served by musicman is the best.
Mmmm - Mmmmm *smacks lips*

yes, this is also the "chocolate room" LOL

My strawberries turned out fabulously, omg, and the first thing into my mouth this morning was one of those sweet babies. *smacks lips*

The sun rose today in full glory and right now, all is quiet in my world. Save for some chirping birds and the scream of a seagull.

Musicman - i bet you were pooped last night. i missed the festivities myself.
Being an early riser, it also comes with early departure from the awake world. i need a woman's dance that begins at 4 pm LOL (don't laugh, i'm soooooo serious!)

Will gladly help you out this morning for a music selection. If the peeps don't mind my selection of get up and dance tunes. i'm just that kinda gal.

becca that is fabulous about Damon

Enjoy your special weekend. How is your garden coming along?

Cinderella - did ya get all the visky you needed last night?
How does the head feel this morning? *grin*

Jo, did you find Zimmy yet?

Everyone have a fantastic Saturday!!!!

freyja · 05-15-2010, 05:25 AM

Okay folks, let's all get up and dance!

Zimmeh · 05-15-2010, 06:55 AM

Good Morning Jo Jo and Scoote,

I am still here in my room looking at my pictures of Paris and daydreaming about going over there one day. I had a house full of people yesterday and my best friend's little boy has kept us both up Thursday. For some reason, he is still not sleeping through the night and since his room is next to mine, I hear him when he gets up at 12:40am and 2:30am. I went back to bed after she left for work yesterday and I slept until 8:30a, whoopps. I am glad that she is off tomorrow, but I have to take my phone to the Apple store in Orlando to see if they can fix it. When I call someone, they sound like they are under water.

Have fun today!!!1

Zimmy
