So, I, like, pretty abruptly quit my job.
I made my 10 years with the state and was going to do home health for a little more flexibility, but then DH got laid off, and then I was working full time hours plus paperwork in the evening, but due to various bullshit, getting paid less than I would working full time at the gas station down the street, plus not being able to leave work at work.
I get up to 2 weeks of Goblin Mode before I need to get my shit together.
So, go team "Not Really Okay At All"?
Oh my, Debet! Goblin Mode definitely sounds warranted. I'm so sorry you got put in that position.
Oof, Tom and Debet. I want the universe to stop messing around with Buffistas. I have a list of people that should have bad things happen to them, where can I submit that?
Oh, wow! I had no idea there was penguin species controversy, I feel so enriched!
Eek, Debet, good luck!! I have a friend who does SLP home health, there seems to be a lot of BS around travel time and what gets paid but otherwise she seems to like it a lot.
Yeah, under other circumstances it probably would have been great, but there was just way too much that was Not The Thing
A million years ago I worked in Payroll for a home health company and figuring out travel reimbursements and overtime and who got paid how was super complicated. And I assume differs by state, as most employment stuff does. But I can't imagine it's ever simple and straightforward.
Good lord, that was literally in the last century.
That's tough, Tom. Points for putting yourself out there though!
Yes. Easier said than done. It sounds like you have some other good options coming up.
So, I, like, pretty abruptly quit my job.
I have to say that every time I decided to quit my job it was the right decision. May things fall into place properly for you now.
This year's fall leaves are nothing short of spectacular. Last year was very disappointing, as they just seemed to fade away and die, but this year they are making up for it.
Yesterday was spent with my sister cleaning out her basement. Her furnace died so we are working on clearing a path for the old oil tank and furnace to get out and a new one to go in. We filled 38 big green trash bags plus various other containers and loaded my nephew's pickup truck, which DH took to the dump this morning. We'll work on it again today. She has a guy coming for an estimate, and she didn't want to terrify him. This is my hoarder sister. She probably hasn't gone into the basement in a decade, as she doesn't do stairs, and the outside entry has been sealed off for a long time. Most of the 35 bags were clothing that was piled up from when she used a laundry chute from upstairs. We cleared a lot! She also did some work in her main upstairs entry area. I'm hopeful she will be encouraged by how much we accomplished and might let me work over the next month to do the same in her main living area. Yes, we wore masks and gloves down there because the mold was significant.
