Working on Saturday!

November 19th, 2011 at 10:21 pm

My husband's framing crew is working today. They are putting up roof trusses.
That is so amazing to me cause in the 27 years he has been building, no one else would ever work on a saturday. Dh has always worked saturdays, sundays and most holidays. Of course, he gets no paid time off, so he works. You would have to know the locals to know how rare it is for them to work on Saturday. Most people here are out of work and need money, badly, but not bad enough to work on Saturdays!

I can't get over it.

Well, dh just got home. It seems that only 2 of the workers showed up (2 didn't), so dh had to help them put the trusses. It is a windy day, so it was not an easy job.

I got a check from Pinecone. plus had a no use gas day yesterday, so $5 to add to the challenge.

Prev. total $18,799.00
today 5.00
new total $18,804.00

Plus, I found a quarter!!!!

    Still amazes me that in an economy like this that there are still people who don't show up to work. It is a priviledge to have work and it's a shame that people don't take it more seriously. As someone who's husband was laid off and out of work for two years, shame on them!

    That sounds dangerous to do with only three people. Scary! I hope he has some great wenches and pulleys!

    When I start my contract job Monday, they encouraged me to work more than 40 hours a week becus they're very behind schedule and the job MUST be done by year's end. So you can bet I'll be working every day of the week to try to maximize my take-home while I can.

    It's too bad it has to come during the holiday season, but it is what it is.
