No Raise - No Overtime

If you read my last blog, you read about my husband not getting a raise this year.

When he got home yesterday, he handed me a letter from the mayor. It explained that no city employee would be able to work any overtime.

This may not seem like a big deal, but to us it is a very big deal. During the spring and summer, Brad works alot of weekends. He gets paid overtime for this of course. We take that money from the overtime and save it for the winter when he is not getting any overtime. I don't know what we would do without it.

Surprisingly, hubby took this pretty well. He says hopefully it will be worked out by next spring/summer.

Also, it's easier for him to take this news knowing he has this job interview today and he may be able to tell the City where to stick it soon.

He's at the interview right now. Say a quick prayer for him please! He was really, really nervous!

Thanks guys!
