    Allie I second the other comments. As hard as it is keep looking for something else while you have your job. Having a job can make it easier to find another. If you are working 20 hours it gives you time to find something else. If he fires you then you can more than likely file for unemployment. If you quit you more than likely you cannot. I would be careful about threatening law suits too. Again that might make it harder to find something else.

    Here's another thing to check. Are part time employees eligible for unemployment? I tried to research it, but the articles only talked about working part time while receiving benefits and moving from full time to part time and being eligible for partial benefits.

    Find a job before quitting a job is important,I think.

    Good luck, Allie.

    I am just relaxed waiting for lunchtime. Good luck to those looking for better jobs. The work market has gotten so harsh. Sad that bosses can't play nice.

    I am trying to eat under my 1200 so the average comes out at 1200 after my weekend splurge. This upcoming weekend is my brother's funeral. That is bound to involve lots of food again. Always a challenge. Maybe it is petty of me to be counting calories the weekend of a funeral, but I guess I have my priorities.

    Felicia - your post spiked my curiosity, so I checked WA State unemployment benefit rules. They have a nifty calculator. Benefits here are based on a formula taking into account the past year or so's quarterly earnings, full time or part time makes no difference. Looks like in most cases, the weekly benefit will be around half what the regular income was, unless you were a high earner (then it's considerably less!), and it's subject to FIT of course.

    Annie- Don’t worry about it a lot of us do to gastric bypass, surgeries,health issues,y needing to get down for better health have to count calories or watch what we grab no matter the event. Can even do what a friend of mine did he carried a Tupperware in his bag (manpurse) to put on a plate at events when he sat down.He had gastric even tho family members didn’t understand he had to measure so worked for him. I grab a protein reasonable portion a lot of veggies to fruit.Skip breads to desserts y drinks. Stick with water. Can add it up after or under the table then skip something on your plate if need be.

    Thanks, 3 miles came from my treadmill workout. My daughter say as I'm addicted. Before having my knees replaced I pretty much gave it up, since knee surgery I started slowly and worked up speed and length of time walking. For my 5'2" frame, 3 miles in 45 minutes is a hustle. I love it.

    Janet ~ Do your knees not bother you when you walk that far and when you do the kettle squats?

    Yes, Carol, they do hurt, sometimes worse than others. At least not excruciating pain like they did before replacement. I have to say I've never been completely pain free since the replacements which has been pretty disappointing. I do use knee braces when on the treadmill, which helps. I had to start out very slowly and for a very short time, its taken several years to get here. Right knee was January 2015, left, September of 2015.

    Another idea - when you get resume created, why not post it here and let the fabulous writers on this board proofread and tweak it :)

    In a private message or maybe our group ... not here in this thread.

    Way too much personal information in a CV for it to be broadcast to the general public. Remember, everything here is searchable and accessible by anyone.

    Yep Machka, that's a better idea! <3

    Kettle bells hurt some folks saw young folks wear knee tape to roll on pain meds .knee tape can be purchased from Walmart to amazon even.Usually in the fishing or weight equipment in stores anywhere men’s stuff is.

    Jennie ~ Welcome to a great group of chatters. You don't have to comment on everyone's posts and many of us only check in with a smile and no comments. I love your pups. I have a 16 pound 10 yr old Pomeranian who thinks he owns us!

    Janet ~ Thanks for letting me know about your knees. I still need to get my left knee done but the right one aches about as much as the left. I am doing the knees exercises I was taught at Ortho and have curtailed the gym for a while.

    Amber ~ I commented to my DH yesterday when we were traveling to the car place that it was like playing dodge ball trying not to get hit by careless drivers. And, half the population around here never uses their turn signals.

    Oh, Rebecca! i SO wish there was an affordable way to stay in some of the smaller towns in Japan! I’d love to hear the cicadas and the temple bell or gong, eat street food, go to a festival or two. I must get my mystery trip people on it. They seem to be able to work magic. Well, maybe not yet. I must pay for the Mexico trip first. My dreams get well ahead of my pocketbook at times. And hugs back, Rebecca, but aren’t you a bit afraid of a “SQUEEZE HYG” when you’re doing a cleanse? 😉

    Yes I do miss Japan, with its intricate winding streets. I had a secret route to the train station that took me past old homes, with Bonsai trees out front. Its not the size of your garden, but how you tend it. If we ever decide to travel there it would be by military planes over a timetable of a month! Being retired military we can use MAC but we would get bumped and wait. Maybe we could wait for son to get leave, so it would be more definite in seeing him. I would hate to take the long trip there, only to find out the ship went out to sea at the last minute.
    Sharon I am more worried when I am lifting weights! Its quiet in the weight room, so one toot, or grumble would be heard most definitely! Its the grumbling with the 5 second warning that's the unsettling.side effect! Actually since I take them early in the morning, I am home when that happens.👍
    Saw the barebun run at your resort! How was the turnout? Weather good? I am such a cottontail!

    Did Kelly Coffee Meyers 30 Minutes to Fitness DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Cathe Friedrich Afterburn DVD.

    After the dentist went to the post office, the ATM, home to vacuum, now will go in the pool. Rummikub tonight

    Evelyn – how I wish that was all that it cost. ¼ cake cost almost $50. Yea, crazy, huh? Maria told me she was going to be getting pastries so that’s why I got a smaller cake. Fortunately, most of it was gone.

    I can get so much more done when Vince isn’t around. He’s a procrastinator, I like to get things done in advance.

    Carol and Karen in VA – when we had to have our washing machine replaced, the appliance guy told us to stay away from LG and Samsung. He said they were horrible with the customer service. I sure hope this doesn’t happen to you

    Lynette – we’ve been doing the ceramics for a while now. I’ll have to check the date on one of my first pieces. I’ll do that when I go out to the pool since that’s where they are. Update: one of the first things I did was in 2014. So I’ve been doing this for 5 years

    Allie – you’ve been given some great advice. Just grin and bear it for now

    M – good point not posting your resume here.

    Jennie – please don’t feel you need to respond to each and every post, just the ones that you feel like. We’re here for you. Come back and you’ll find that we are like-minded people who will support you thru thick and thin

    Vicki – what happened (don’t know if you remember) is originally I painted Sally’s clothes in this speckled pink paint which I ordered. But what I got wasn’t as dark as the sample. So I asked if I can paint a speckled purple over it. They really weren’t sure if it would take or not. But I decided to try it…the worst that could happen is I have to ask them to re-pour the mold. Well, it isn’t perfect, but I think it looks OK. So I’m keeping it

    Hot here, too. Went in the pool (what else)? We have this wasp, hornet and yellowjacket trap. Someone on Amazon posted that their attractant while expensive really didn’t do a whole lot and they suggested using applejuice. Well, the only problem I find is that I have to clean out the trap just about every day because there isn’t room for any more bugs!

    Rummikub tonight. Need to leave early to take the supplies and my games. Remember last time I was told they weren’t going to be providing supplies if it’s held in people’s homes. Well…this isn’t a home so why they took all my supplies is beyond me. Then they had to give them back to me. Stupid.
