Just when I thought I had given up hope on getting more hours at work, I started getting called to take over shifts I am scheduled to work 14.25 hours this week (Tues and Thurs 6-10:45p and Sat 2:15-7pm) but was called last night and today to see if I wanted to work extra shifts. Not even 10 minutes after Linda (manager) had called me last night, left a message on my voicemail wondering if I would like to take over a shift and calling her back had she already called someone else and given them the hours However, about 30 minutes ago Kara (manager) called and asked me if I wanted to work today from 4-8:30pm and I said of course, I figured that I may as well get as many hours in for this next check and for Christmas since I won’t get paid again until the 20th which will be about 30 hours or so. Maybe I’ll be able to afford to buy Alan gifts after all I’m off to finish getting ready…then to come home later and do my paper for my marriage and family class since it’s due tomorrow! So far, I’ve gotten an A in Social Problems and Probability and Statistics, I’m very happy
