&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was informed by my boss at my Mon-Wed job on Sat. afternoon that he is closing the store March 1st. I made a panicky phone call to the Thurs-Sat job to see if they could give me 2 more days a week and they said they would love to. So I will be there Tues-Sat, with Mondays if needed. Guess I didn't really need to be so stressed out as to buy a pack of cigarettes after all! I quit 3 years ago, but will still smoke under extreme duress, and I do mean situations like looming unemployment, not I had a bad day. Unfortunately it means I will not be able to see so much of you EC'ers as I will actually have to break down and do some work.<img border="0" src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0"> But it's a great place to work with super bosses who understand about foaling mares. It's a mat leave that I'll be covering, but I hope that by the time the girl comes back that one boss may be considering retirement. It buys me a year anyway.

Geeze Ruth things are not going well for you this year so far.
Hang on! Hopefully things will get better. Keep us informed!
(maybe now you will get a raise and can buy some new undies!) <IMG src="smileys/smiley16.gif" border="0">

No, but they could be far worse.

Oof, the old nervous system doesn't need shocks like that!&nbsp; Glad to hear that your other job has room for you though - you have enough problems sleeping at night <IMG src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">.&nbsp;
They say that when one door closes, another one opens - personally, I'd like to give "them" a good swift kick, but maybe this time, they're right.&nbsp; Let's hope so. <IMG src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0">
