Kind of a current conditions frustration vent/rant.
As in so many companies around the country today, I've been cut to 32 hours for the last month and a half. In Missouri we can draw 1 day of unemployment to help cover the day off (equals about half a days pay), which is very handy when every penny helps.
But today I find, the lady who records and reports out hours screwed up and actually over paid me by one hour. To get the day of unemployment you have to work at least 24 hours but not more than 32, with the hour over payment it put me at 33 hours which gained me $13 on my take home, and cost me a $64 unemployment check. I know, it's just a few $$, and I am truly grateful to have a job at all, but it's just another irritation to go along with all the rest of the ongoing stress.
Been a looong winter, I'll sure be glad when the weather warms up.
All this failing economy, short hours, no work, will I have a job at all next month, cold weather, no riding, is starting to wear on my nerves.:-(
