Greg Rider Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Made a house payment so that keeps the dogs off the door. Now I'm only 2 months behind . The private ambulance I work for is putting me on a full-time shift starting Monday . My other part-time medical job will probably start their second shift back up in March . If the boo-boo-bus job gives me the shift I want I'll be able to work both for a while and not get burnt out . 42 hrs a week on the ambulance and possibly 20-30 a week at the medical trailer.

Greg Rider Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks. We've been a month behind since 2007 lay-off so that was no big issue. Been off this time since June and that was starting to hurt. My truck is named Faith for a reason. Quote #1 on A-model registryIf I drink because of work, why can't I drink at work?

Greg Rider Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Good luck buddy and remenber for what its worth there is alot of people having same problems and some that is only a paycheck from that. glennWe got a "letter of intent" last month and had till the 16th to make a payment. We were there. I worked enough call in to get us enough for a payment. I put in 54 hours this past week so I'll be OK. I don't want the wife to give up school. She is getting it for nothing now but the cost of books and gas. It hurts 'cause she can't work as many hours as normal.

Greg Rider Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Went full time on the boo-boo bus on Monday I put in 64 hours this week!!! Lynn is a lot happier and worries less now. Just heard that East laid off another 25 people, so the outlook of them calling me back by June is bleak. I think I'll stay on the ambulance and push them to make me a supervisor.
