Employees don't get a lot of say about how scheduling goes. There is always pressure from corporate to cut hours. It adds to their bottom line and takes away from mine.
Currently we have new people and the company is not getting as much bang for the employment buck as usual. When the crew has experience, the company can cut our hours more easily. Good work winds up being rewarded with less pay in a paradoxical way.
Tonight we had a beautiful orange sunset. There was light at 9 PM. It would be a good time to give up my proletarian undercover work for a while. But. I'm banking all of my 401K is nice to say.
Many people as old as I am don't have a body that lets them work. I'm lucky, if I don't take a job that kills me continuing to work seems to be good for my health. It also lets me live a little better as you can see.
If I had more faith in my future, I'd stop for a while. But if I work the longer it will be before I am poor.
