Tears

Got my first paycheck..$78.00...This next one will be my full one, but now we all got letters that due to the economy all of our hours are cut. I have three shifts next week. Good news. I got hired at re-hired at Denny's. So when I get off work tomorrow I have to be there at 4pm to fill out my new hire paper work. The struggle never fucking ceases...sorry for cursing but I was in tears today.

You are going through one crazy roller coaster.

Whitemist- You summmed up how I feel completely. I was promised a minimum of 32 hours a week. The botttom line though, if I am honest, I am a waitress. I am going to Denny's to fill out the paper work after I finish this morning's shift. She forgot when she made the schedule that I wasn't going to get out of the store til midnight. So here I sit with about 4 hour of sleep ready to work til 3 pm. Not a chipper girl today. I don't like alot of ups and downs, too much for me mentally. Hope you are well.

Keep on Lori, just keep hanging in there. Ya can't fight once you throw the towel in.

WM...I didn't. I won. I got rehired at Denny's today after working crazy hours. He knows I used to have a drug problem but heard I was a legendary waitress. I signed a piece of paper saying I would be on probation for the first month. He owns the restaurant. Kenny and I got married when I worked there. He worked there too as a cook. I made excellent money. I start Monday. You know I can't throw the towel in. I am not built to be a quitter. Plus, waitressing is what makes me happy. It is what I enjoy doing. Starting to see the light at the end of this spiraling tunnel.

You do know that tunnels spiral upwards too right? Good luck and well done honey.
