OKAY
I've officially had it with my current job. Going to rant about that a little.
I work at a deli which was very handy to my house when I lived with my family, but it's about a 20 minute drive(or half-hour bus ride) in good traffic from where I'm living now. And there's plenty of places around here that I could be working.
The reason I stayed there is because I talked to my manager, and she really needed me to stay on - and promised me regular shifts. I'd told her how much I would need to work in order to pay rent and she said she could give me the hours.
Long story short, I've been underpaid ever since I started there(along with most of the other employees), not given my entire wage on several occasions, and in two instances I wasn't paid AT ALL. A few weeks ago I got a pay raise, thanks to my being elderly now, and since then my shifts have mysteriously been dwindling.
And on next week's roster I have NONE AT ALL. Zero shifts. Nada. Not cool. Need money for, y'know, living.
And I asked our manager why, and she told me that other people had been complaining that they needed more shifts, and that she'd heard I was sick. For.. Some reason..??? Apparently? Despite the fact that she made that roster this monday, and I was already working this thursday, friday and all weekend. So I was, what..? Planning to be sick next week..?
ARGH
I was intending to wait until we've moved house again(sometime in february) to look for a new job, as I'd like to find one in walking distance from the house - but I'm really sick of this. Sigggghhhhh.

In other news, I made cookies! :D They're not Spectacular Spectacular, but they're pretty good.
And I had a quite delicious pear today. Mmmmmm.
