Usually I do my replies first, but I just have to get this out. Amanda's condition has really deteriorated today and DH asked me to take her tomorrow to have her euthanized.

I will have Brother with me the whole day tomorrow, and it is NOT fair to ask me to do that. We are now fighting about it, because I think he should take her tomorrow afternoon, even if it means DS will have to go along. DS wants to have her cremated remains, and we can't seem to decide about that, either.
Momboss and I are at HUGE odds about the upcoming schedule. The agreement in March was that I would NOT get a raise, but I would now have every Wednesday morning off. If the kids are out of school and I have to work on a morning I should have off then they owe me that morning back during another week. She now says the Wednesdays were ONLY for the school year (how generous, since they just started the Wednesdays off LAST MONTH) so I have to work every Wed. morning over the summer that the kids are not in camp. She wasn't even willing to give me 2 extra mornings earlier in May to make up for May 23 & 30 which I will have to work. The kids are only going to camp for 3 weeks. I am assuming they will still "trade" the Mondays with me because those are not part of my schedule OR my payroll. So just like that I am back to 42.5 hours instead of 38.5, and no raise.

She also said they want my last day to be August 10.

She wants me to finish with the kids before I leave for WDW. In our discussion I was promised my week of vacation would be PAID, but now I am wondering if she will say it won't be paid because the job ends BEFORE my vacation starts. I will have 35 hours of accrued comp time if I don't use any before then, and I will have 2.5 personal days so that will just about cover my vacation, but it would be NICE to have my week of paid vacation, too. Since that WAS the agreement.

Dadboss is really the one I deal with for payroll and comp time and that sort of thing, so I'm interested to hear what he has to say about it. I fail to see how giving me a couple of extra Wednesdays off during April & May offsets NOT giving me a raise when the kids are going to be home nearly the entire summer!

They have never been home the whole summer before!
So my entire day has gone to hell in a handbasket. I don't know whether to be sad about the cat or furious about my job. The agency e-mailed me 3 TOTALLY inappropriate jobs today, all part time, all with lower salaries than what I make right now, 2 of them nowhere near our house. How am I supposed to make THAT work? Fewer hours, lower salary, sure! Sign me up! And at night I can sell crack or work a street corner to supplement my income. Sorry. Not a good night for me.
