back home in VA!
Ok guys I got fed up at the gas station. She kept scheduling me for 6-8 days in a row with 2 or 3 days off in between the 6-8 day stretches. It was too much for me. I said something to her about it and she basically said either you do this or you dont have a job. I kept working I liked the job just not that many days in a row on third shift. I talked with my DH who is a manager at a Call Center here and asked him if he thought I could get a job there its a dollar more an hour with the chance to earn bonuses on each check. He talked to the HR manager who had him tell me to put in for job I did and I got hired I start on Monday
It will be 2-11 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The things I like better about this job are that if I get sick I dont have to worry about losing my job if I call in and now my life is not in danger every day I work. At the gas station my life was threatened with a knife once and then verbal threats a couple of other times. Can I have some that I enjoy this new job and that I start feeling better I have a chest cold that Im on antibiotics for but I still feel pretty rough! Thanks Everyone!

Praying you like your new job. Glad you found something better and not so dangerous. I always have felt for the people who work at gas stations and convenient stores... especially ladies!

Oh Brandi, I'm so glad to hear this!
Congratulations! I'm so glad you're out of that place!
A dollar an hour more, and it sounds like they treat their people with a little respect, too -- what a great move!
