So, since coming to Texas my husband has bounced around from job to job. It felt like we would spend more time job hunting then him actually going to work. First he did Schwan's, but it wasn't working out as he moved into more and more commission and less and less gurenteed paid (they have a step down program that stepped a lot faster then they originally made it sound). Then he became an electrician helper. It paid less then we wanted, had no benefits, but he could work his way up over time. The guy, however did not want to teach him the construction aspect of it, and it was something he had never done before. So, he was let go. Then we went a week while waiting for the perfect job to come along. And it did. He is making 12 an hour, will have benefits after 90 days, is working a ton of hours (which means a hefty pay check) and is still home by six thirty (at the latest) and has Saturday and Sunday off. Of course, now we get up at four thirty in the morning to make sure he gets off to work on time.
While that is a new way of life, we are adjusting. This being week two (and Friday) though, my husband was saying that he wanted to set the alarm for four thirty tomorrow so that he could shut it off and roll over.
Well anyway, we haven't had a paycheck for all of August. But we will, next week. It's a two week pay cycle and it takes three weeks to get the first check. Which is kinda owie. But we are looking forward to having money again! (Wouldn't anyone?)
