I feel almost as worn down as I did when working with the ex A.
Work is really hard to come by at the moment and I've been working retail. Trouble is I'm not getting enough hours and no matter what I say and do they give all the hours to a new girl who literally just walked in off the street. I've gone the official route of going to the union but I feel like I'm on the slipply slide of lies, betrayal and intrigue we all know so well.
I can guarantee you when I go into work today they will have given the new girl an 8 hour shift when I barely get 4 hours (I spent one hour each way on the bus to get there).
Of course all this stuff triggers all my stuff and getting to detachment is like ploughing through molasses. This financial hiccup is just for a few more weeks till I can get some more regular work (the store job is usually the weekend one). I feel like I'm beating my head against the ground and getting nowhere. We all know that feeling of not getting our needs met and facing an uphill struggle to just get by.
That's where I am right now and forgiveness and having a clue where the people at the store I work at are coming from is absolutely beyond me.
So I'm slipping and sliding and its painful and hard. One more mountain to climb.

Maresie, That is a situation that would make anyone want to scream! Thank HP for your program and you work a wonderful one. Lean on al-anon at this time. We're here in support.

I think the only option is to detach. In 6 weeks my options will be more. Until then with the employment market moving like molasses I don't have that many choices.
