I would take being a homemaker any day over working in retail this time of year and I truly feel for the people behind the counters that are working their butts off that have to put up with everyone's bad attitude for a check that doesn't amount to anywhere near the pay they should get for putting up with the public pms. I think the men are the worst about it though... they are soooo inpatient

I couldn't go back to it EVER the thought of dealing with the arseholes and listening to everybodys woes that they all think are special and one off when in honesty there all the flipping same would probably send me to an early grave, the pub was different if they annoyed you too much you just got drunk lol

Lol... Oh god how I hated being in management this time of year. Not like you had enough to worry about with just the idiots that came in looking for something the store didn't carry but then you have the employees all screaming and getting under your skin too.

Yeah last retail place I worked was a paper based business sold books stationary and music it was living hell at christmas but I was lucky I dealt with the stock control so I didn't actual have face to face contact with the land of the living dead.

I feel sorry for Nos.

He's not management, but he is a supervisor in retail.

He'll be working 70 hours this week, just to keep up with the demand of customers.

Poor thing. The sad thing is is that it doesn't stop till about mid January. I feel for him.

OMG, I think I'm going to pull my hair out!!

/gives J9 a nice shoulder rub and head massage, and splits a bottle of Bailey's with her

I just have to figure out which orifice I can pull around $500 out of... that's all, no big deal.

WhAAAAAAAAA

WHAAAAAAAA

Your husband's rear end, imo.

Try to get it out by kicking it.

This is just a shock... we have NEVER had this problem before. Thank God the bank that we bank with knows us and is honoring and paying all the checks because they know we are good for it.

But the stress of this last semester, the stress of the new shop, the stress of higher costs of living and no pay raises has really gotten to us.

I am now dying to start that new job more than ever, but all of the people who are to schedule me for my physicals, orientations at 2 different hospitals, are all out sick. Second week in a row.

Heck, I hardly even know how to balance a checkbook. OMG, I just want to sleep till it's over.

/hugs

Wish I could make it better, hon :(

Awww I'm so sorry J. I wish I could do something for you.

The more I look through here, the more I find out hubby was not wrong in recording the checks, just disorganized.

I just can't figure out how it happened. Guess, I'll go make a deposit in a few, keep some cash, and not use the checkbook for a few weeks to make sure everything clears. I'm able to account for EVERYTHING, but can't figure out where the NSF is coming from.

Oh, my brain hurts.

Maybe he got your present and didn't record it so as not to alert you as to what your getting

Yikes j that's a slighty large amount you better get out and sell your soul quick...

Yeah, right!! NOT!!!!! I wish, but I know that's not the case. We don't spend on each other for Christmas, at least not until next year.

Had to try something... hehehe *shrugs*

Well, the fire is out, and once again J saved the day!! (with lotsa money left over)...

I can breathe again, but I am taking over the checkbook for now.

What was it? Did you figure it out?
