Last week, L&I offered 16 hours of OT to their claim managers to work on claim resolution. Mom and I decided that would be a nice chunk of change so worked 10 hour days during the work week and five on that Saturday.
Because Chris's truck isn't working currently, they only have one car. Kelly said she could drive him to the bus stop but they'd have to bring Allison as well. So Mom & I lef the house a little after 5am, picked up Chris, and brought him to his stop. Mom was extremely paranoid (and still is, let's be honest) about being late for Chris and making him upset, so was pretty pushy about getting out the door.
But we made it to work every day by 6am... except for Friday when we stopped at Top Foods and brought our units treats. (They currently think we're awesome!) It was just so LONG!!! Let's put it this way... Friday, I went by myself to WalMart and roamed around the store for at least an hour with no direction. Oy!
This week, L&I's decided to offer 30 more hours of OT over the next 3 work weeks and... just like last week... you can only work 10 hours per day max. Mom & I agonized over whether to do it or not because we've been really wiped! But if we have a full weekend, would it help? We're trying it out...
Part of the problem is that we just never get to see Kelly & Allison for THREE WEEKS so it didn't seem worth it. But now Kelly's going to work 4 - 10 hour days for next week and maybe the one after, so that would change stuff. And sure, Mom would have more money for Baltimore or the front room and I would have a great start for a house down payment... but is it really WORTH it???
