Human nature. Have you ever had an authority figure who was as realistic as that?~

I had to cancel donations, and can't cancel my life insurance unless I want to start over. Also I had to go get more overdraft protection with my bank. This week has been horrible, and for the first time, it sunk in and I finally cried. My boss told me that letting me go is the "best decision for her business". Yet she made me stay for two more weeks with reduced hours anyway, and asked me to help train others. I have another job lined up already, but I don't start for a week. Because of this, I'm losing a week in pay on top of all the hours she cut. And I'm having hard times coping with it. I have never had to deal with the possibility of having bad credit in my life, until she took over our store.And I would like to prevent it with all the advice and help I can get from those who are older and wiser or who have been through something like this before. Thank you. less

I don't know usually when she will be home either, it always fluctuates a half hour to an hour; which is fine mostly, but sometimes has made me have to cancel plans. How do I go about wondering if I coudl do at least one set time on either end (mainly a. m. ?) ...? I don't know whether to just keep bopping time to be accomodating b/c I do enjoy the family or say, 'it would be great for me if I knew what time I start...' ... ? less
Basically 'not' hire you; not get back to you, after they told you you were 'on' with them?

My sis had mentioned to her potential boss she is diabetic, he had said it is no problem. Next week, after he said he was going to have her on, that she had the job, a co worker started talking to my sis about diabetes near where the boss was. She did say (my sis) that she had to leave college, b/c of her diabetes ONLY b/c of the cold weather on campus walks, making it go low. She saw the boss there, listening and explained that does not happen anymore, and the next day he still did tell her he'd make up a schedule.. now it has been a week and no contact from him/them. She is so upset b/c she wanted the job so much, but he did say she had it- is this part discrimination? It feel s to me like it is in a way.. b/c she did explain all is ok.. any views welcome. less
