In yesterday’s Under the Fedora I mentioned both that the reason I had not made it to CPAC lately was my full time job and also how DaTipJar has been falling short to the point where this will likely be the blog’s last year.
Well it only took 24 hours for things to get worse.
Things have been nasty at my work for a couple of years. The normal peak seasons at Christmastime that were crazy during the Trump years lasted less that a week. We closed two warehouses in the area and every single temp worker at our place was let go.
All of this despite the insistence of the media/left that our economy is absolutely fantastic and we need to thank the Biden Administration for it. Well I’ll give them this much, I do give Joe Biden/Obama credit for the economy we have. I got another dose of that economy last night.
Yesterday we were told that my shift, the 2nd shift is to be eliminated. I don’t know what my new shift is going to be but the end results at minimum are
- a 4% pay decrease
- Daily mass at best eliminated for 3 days a week and at worst eliminated completely
- A 67% chance that I’ll have to give up both running the parish Adoration and my two hours
- The joys of early mornings and rush hour traffic
- And not only a shift no longer corresponding with my wife but because she sleeps in a recliner due to hip issues an excellent chance of waking her each morning and disrupting her sleep every day.
At my age and with the economy we have there is not much I can do I’ve done two of the three things that can be done.
- I’ve arranged a Mass with all of us at the company as the Mass intention.
- I voted for Trump today when I had the chance.
The only other thing I can do is ask you to consider hitting DaTipJar and or Sharing this post for that purpose. I’ll cut back and we’ll get by the best we can.
But if you would like to give a hand it would be most appreciated.
