Ok, so things at hubby's work might be changing yet again. Right befor christmas, like the week before, the factory let go all of the temp workers. Also overtime has been stopped indefanitely. So as horrible as that was, hubby came home last night and said that there were more rumors about changes in the factory coming up. He said there is going to be a meeting thursday about the changes. Now no one knows for sure what the changes will be, but there is specualtion that the factory is going to cut down to 2 shifts. Right now there is 3 shifts: first, second, and third. Hubby works second. And he said that someone told him that they think it will be first and third shifts, 10 or 12 hr shifts, for 3 or 4 days a week. I just don't know if that would be ok with me. I know that i really don;t have a choice. For the most part, where hubby works now is a pretty good place. But with the economy in the shitter, his work has made some pretty crappy cutbacks. And of course it makes the factory money, but it sucks to those familes who rely on the benefits. We are now on the HSA(Health Savings Account). It's where they basically eliminate your health plans until you are make the quota. For a family it is 4,200 a year. So we have to pay out of our pocket $4,200 dollars before the insurance kicks in. We don't go to the doctor enough to spend that kind of money! It is just totally rediculous. Sometimes i want to tell Kev to find another place to work, but the money is pretty good, and he is working his way up in the ranks there. So i just don't know anymore. Guess we will have to wait and see what is next. Maybe Obama will help get us back on track!
