YAY!!

Well this past week has just been hell and back and ended with a bang. lol.

Let's see. A week ago Saturday was Scott's final interview with Chrysler. He called me as he got out of the interview and was on his way home. "Honey, they are gonna call me today with my schedule, pay rate, and start date" Woohoo. We both dance around and have a good day, till say, 1pm. They hadn't called. Sunday, no call. Very annoying. Scott had Tuesday and Thursday off, so he was starting to feel really anxious.

Had the phone forwarded to my cell phone on Monday, just in case. No phone call. We are making dinner and I say to him, "They are going to call you tomorrow." At this point, Scott is feeling a little sick (Worried), and I as well. To be this close to being out of Hellmart, and out of financial worries, is just too much to take.

Well about 10 on Tuesday, I call Scott to see whats going on. He says he is just playing EQ2 and is about to go take a nap. So we get off the phone and go about the rest of the day, or so I thought. He calls me back about 15 minutes later. My first question, was of course, I thought you were taking a nap? He tells me, well I was but, Chrysler just called and I have orientation tomorrow and I start work on Tuesday. WOOHOO WOOHOO.

But alas, that is a Wednesday and he has to work, oh dear, if he calls in sick he is sure to be fired, considering all the days he had taken off in the past two weeks, for Chrysler and the Post office. So he decideds to just do the right thing. He goes in and talks to the co-manager of the store and is upfront and gets things taken care of.

So Wednesdays bring orientation. 8 hours worth. I finally get to talk to him when I get home from work. He says they are in the process of switchign hours. IE going from 8 hr days to 9 hr days. And that they will call next week, and when they call, he starts the next day and of course this is all going to be second shift. Grrrrrrr. More anxiety. So then he himhaws about what to do with walmart. We get to talking and I tell him, that I think he should make Friday his last day, because he does not want to miss the phone call from Chrysler. And even if he doesnt work next week, the way paydates fall at walmart (every two weeks) versus Chrysler (every week) it wont hurt us at all.

So he going in on Thurs, tells Friday is his last day, he gets some crap about it. Hello????? $20/hr vs $8/hr. Hmmmm let me think. DuH!!! About 15 minutes later he calls me back, and says to write this down, So and so's name, h26 chassis, and then be there one hour earlier. And he starts Tuesday. "Oh and one other thing, hun. I will be on first shift" WHOOOPPPIIIIIEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 20 minutes later, the whole roller coasters comes crashing, the tears finally end, the headache begins, and I want to just take a damn nap. But its all done.

He starts tomorrow. 45 hours this week. 9 hrs tues-fri and 9 and sat. Oh did I tell you that they pay overtime on a daily basis. After 8 hours a day, the rest are overtime. Did you know, that Saturdays are pure time and a half, regardless of how many hours you work that week. And Sundays are double time. Holy buckets of joy, batman. And next week, I think is 54 hours. Mon-sat. 9 hours a day. I think I am gonna cry again.

EQUpdate: I havent been playing much, my mind just too preoccupied with other things. This weekend went well. We grouped up Friday night and ran around Sanctum of Scaleborn, that was fun. Had a really good group as well. And I really want to group with Troubadors, a hell of a lot more.

Sunday, Scott played an alt, and he got into a group with them. I threw up LFG and went on my way. Okay, I am gonna go here and rant. Some guy in the Barren Sky was /ooc for a dps or a healer for Palance of Awakened. Now, I havent been there yet and I really wanted to go, so I sent him a tell. He says I am not high enough DPS. huh????????????????????? I am a 65 wizzy, my best damage spells are adept3 or master. and I dont have enough dps?????? Ass wipe. Ended up getting a group for the Nest, and dinging 66. Rock on, baby.
