Ok first a side note: We need a this or that section to just put in random thoughts or what have you.
I didn't really want to put this in here being I am not the praying kind but if you are I suppose it could help or if you can just send good vibes.
Ok DH got a job as a school bus driver. He went through two weeks of classes and orientation (unpaid). He is finally working but it is only part time. He went in to the main terminal to get a telzon thing that is to scan certain points on the bus and be his time card and was told he couldn't get one until he gets a drivers number and he can't get that until Cincinatti puts him in the system.....which apparently can be weeks! Oh sorry you probably don't understand the exclamation mark....he doesn't get paid until they enter him in the system! Yup, he has already gone three/four weeks without a paycheck and now it could be a few more weeks until he sees a paycheck.
I took a part time job at SA to try to generate more income while he was waiting to start driving and to help us catch up. I have worked one week doing both jobs. I am exhausted, stressed out, and I hate my SA job. I now remember why I worked my butt off to get through school. Anyway, DH also applyed at a pizza delivery job and sounds like they want to give him whatever hours he can take. He had his first shift last night but I can tell already he doesn't like it. I told him though that I am quiting Sa.....I really can't do it. I am to tired and if he is going to keep the pizza job I don't want to find someone to watch the boys every weekend.
He did have an interview for a driving job out of New Ulm. He thought the interview went really well. It would start off as just weekends and some nights and then turn into FT plus overtime, year long job. This is what we have been waiting for! He wants to have a driving job and we really need him to get away from the season positions. However, the guys said if he didn't hear from him by Friday he probably wouldn't. Tomorrow is Friday and I am getting really worried that he won't call. So this is where your prayers/good vibes come in. We have done everything we can but we desperately need this to turn out. We finally caught up with our mortgage and all our other bills but right now we are quickly sinking again....I can't keep living like this. I am way to stressed and am desperately hoping this job comes through. Felt it couldn't hurt to ask you guys for some help.
Thanks for reading and whatever vibes you send out there for us!
UPDATE: 12/19/11
So DH didn't hear back from the truck driving job so we are guessing he didn't get it. Totally sucks. He is ready to quite the pizza job too...the damn owner hasn't even had him fill out a W4 yet. Still don't know when he will be getting paid from the bus company but hopefully it's soon because we are really starting to drown. To make matters worse our basement drain is backing up again. Happened a bit ago and DH cleared it but it's doing it again and since it didn't last long we are going to have to call out a plumber to drill out our main line again which we aren't even close to having money for. So if you know a plumber that will do it for nothing send them my way! JK. Anyway, things are still the same and not much hope of them looking up. Thanks for all your good vibes though!

No nothing at Quicksilver. He is doing the bus route and pizza delivery and with that we should be ok for now but we really need something FT and year long. He really wants to drive like bigger trucks: dump trucks or semi.
Thanks for all the good vibes!

Oh Mo - I know how you feel!!! I'm so sorry that the bus driving is falling apart On the plus side, you and I (and the other ladies) have a date tomorrow night so you can at least smile a little bit! You may not be the praying type but I have found that I am more and more these days with all the trials and tribulations my household has been through. Sending prayers and good juju

Oh boo. Hang in there! And ... isn't it illegal to not be paid during training? That's like, a major minimum wage violation right there. See this: "Under the law, employers must pay their employees the minimum wage for all hours worked. “Hours worked” includes training time, waiting time, rest periods of fewer than 20 minutes and any other time the employees must be at work." www.dli.mn.gov/LS/Pdf/minwage.pdf
