i'm passively looking to replace my main job... which right now is Mon-Thurs, 9-3. but i'll probably start looking a bit more when (a) my younger daughter starts driving (she's 15-1/2 now) AND (b) she has access to car that she can drive when she's able to drive alone. as of now, she stays after for theatre and various other activities, and is sometimes done at 3:30 or 4... and i wouldn't be able to pick her up if got a job that went until 5.

as much as i'm okay with working at Michael's, i'd like to have some days off. even though my shifts at Michael's are only 4 or 4-1/2 hours, most weeks i work all 7 days. soon. hopefully....

Yeah working short hours gives you a lot of crap because you don't get breaks but you never have the day off.

i'm okay with no breaks, but yeah, it's the never having a day off -- unless i plan one. and y'know what? i'm going to go request a random day off, just to have one! =)

i had a boss schedule me for a 13 hour shift once . . . i was in college and went to all day classes tuesday and thursday so wednesday i usually had a lot of homework. This shift was for a wednesday. I told them I couldn't do it but they said I had too and that i shouldn't complain because he worked 14 hour shifts and then had to go work night shifts at his second job XP

i keep my manager to my availability. example, on fridays i'm available from 9-4. one day at the beginning of december i was scheduled from 2-6. i called up the store as soon as i saw that and told my manager i don't do that. it took her a few days, but she changed my schedule.

some of the other management-type people say that scheduling is not the manager's strong suit. but if it's all computerized, why should that even matter? if she screws up my schedule again (even if she fixes it), i'll be on the JoAnn's site again, seeing what they have available.....

Good evening all =3

hey there SparX!! =D

hi sparx!

Glitch - who's the guy in your sig? he looks familiar...

How are you guys today =)

Doing good, dealing with all of the freezing rain here while further North of us gets snow… I just want snow.

freezing rain is poopie D:

Yes it is. I want snow. I want to make Snow Cats

Snow I feel has stopped up here, we will probably be in for more cold and rain, but not freezing

Freezing rain sucks! Luckily although it will be very cold the next few days there is no snow/freezing rain predicted.

I don't like managers that are total tools like that. No compassion.

oh trystan I missed your question --- it is uh whatshisname Dan Laroquet? . . . let me google it.
John Larroquette. It is from the 10th kingdom - really funny scene but applies to me because i always feel clueless about stuff XD
