I’m kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place at this point in my life. I have a job that has been going really well for me since I got out of the army. When I started school I asked them if they could drop me down to part time so I can still make a little extra money. They agreed and everything this was working out as planned, school 2 days a week, work 2 days a week, and 3 day a week to study. Perfect right? Well it was for a few months, but now they expanded their hours and hired a lot of new people and they cut my hours even more. It’s not a huge problem but I’m going to be missing out on some money I was getting used to.
My work is 65miles from my house so making that drive isn’t worth working one day a week. I’m sure they would lay me off but they don’t want to pay me unemployment. I don’t know what I want to do about this, the money is nice but I don’t think it’s worth me wasting my weekend by going to work on Saturday.
By the end of this week I’m going to make a proposal to my employer. I’m going to suggest that I become the “go to guy”. Anyone they needs a day off or is planning a vacation can use me as a fill in. this way I don’t have to wasted all of me weekends, I can keep my job, and I can make some extra money every now and then. It’s not the best plan in the world but I think it will work just fine for now. I just hope my employer thinks it’s as good of an idea as I do. If everything takes a turn for the worse and I loose my job, at least I have my GI bill that still pays me. Ahh feels god to have a flawless plan.
