If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all...

I know it sounds like a HeeHaw song, but in this case it's true. It looks like my string of bad luck with employment hasn't ended. It appears as though the "P" is closing. It hasn't been confirmed, but I can see the writing on the wall. Let me know what you think....

First, I was told that not only will I not become full-time with health insurance (the asst mgr recently left, opening the door for me to move up), but everyone in the company will be taking a 5% paycut. Now it only really affects $20 a week for a lowly part-timer such as myself, however the Mgr and DM are different stories. I feel bad for them. On the bright side we do have jobs... for now. Yesterday, we received an email asking how many 50% sale posters we have. This is what happened the last time I worked at the "P" when they closed in 2007. I have a feeling the store will be closing by summer.

So now I'm looking for a full-time job with benefits. Not that I ever stopped looking for one, but now I have to step up my search. I wish I would get a call from the state for the interview I went on last week. That would change the whole scope of things.

On more promising news, we may be adding a new addition to our family. It on a trial basis to see if Baxter gets along with her, but we are taking a 1 year old black lab named Roxy. If all goes well, she'll be company and a playmate for Baxter. He still seems a bit depressed and we think he's lonely. Don't get me wrong, we are not replacing Weber. Nothing could ever replace him. It's time to move forward. Let's just hope this works. I'd hate for her to have to go back to the family we are taking her from. It's not that they don't want her, but their dog is jealous of the new one and thus having behavioral problems. I'll update you on both.
