I was offered another job at the university I currently work at. $11.50/hour, 40 hours a week, occasional overtime, weekends off, health insurance (including vision and dental, which I haven't had in years).

this will also mean the end to my weeks late paychecks, being as I will be under a different boss, and my checks will go through differently.

yep. I make $12/hour right now, but my job is only seven hours a week..and if no one shows up by 2:00 PM, I have to leave early, so often times I'm only pulling in $60 a week. of course my jewelry selling helps a lot, but even so..lots more money, even if I'm making 50 cents less than I already am.

aw hell, it's WAY better this way, for sure.

although I hate working that many hours.
that's why my job is good for me, lotsa times I only put in 10 hr/wk, still get apid for 30 hrs.

mind ya, sometimes I put in 60, and only get paid for 30... [img]redface.gif[/img]
but over the course of a year, it more or less evens out.

yeah..it's a lot of hours, and it's also early in the morning..8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. which is kind of a bitch being as I live 45 minutes away. but it's the best option I've got right now, so I'll take it.

actually, I always liked early days.
that's probably my biggest complaint at work, I usually start at 6pm, except on Sundays, which range between 7-9AM.

exactly. the woman hiring me thought I'd object to losing that 50 cents, but health insurance and the added hours more than makes up for it.

besides, that job allows raises and such..so chances are I'll regain that 50 eventually.
