When your husband calls you from work and the conversation starts off with “Honey, I’ve got some bad news,” it’s NEVER a good thing.
Hubby’s been handed a three-day suspension…a supposed second offense at work, but they’re refusing to show him record of the first offense. And because it’s a second offense, it comes with a three-day suspension.
Couple that with the fact that he also was told that he DIDN’T get paid for working on New Year’s Eve due to yet ANOTHER financial screwup…well, to say hubby’s upset is a bit of an understatement.
(They will be paying him for New Year’s Eve on next week’s check, though. It just got missed. Which means…knowing how his company works…he’s going to get screwed over for the overtime he SHOULD have had on this week’s check. Yee-freakin’-haw.)
Hubby was apologizing to me left and right about the whole situation. He’s trying to find out a couple of things…like, if he’s supposed to be suspended, how come they didn’t send him home TONIGHT; they’re waiting until the weekend for his suspension to start.
I guess there’s one good thing…the three days that he’s suspended AREN’T on the same paycheck…two will be on next week’s check, and one on the week after.
*grumble*

I got the renewal paperwork for our car insurance today. The insurance marketing guys must be busy…after my renewal papers showed up, no less than three more emails from other insurance companies that I’ve dealt with in the past showed up in my mailbox. Thanks, but no. Our current company is just fine. Now bug off.

I want a do-over of this year so far. Because quite frankly, the beginning of 2010 can suck my nut.
