I was not working for abut 8 months because of the recession 3 weeks ago I finally got a job and I was so happy, I got this job from an placement agency. The agency told me it was goin gto be a 12 hour shift day for 4 days and Friday off, so I took it because I did not have any thing else going, when I started the told me that one week was a four day week and then the following week would be a three day shift. 

As mentioned I have been there for three weeks and I can handle it, it’s not the best but it not really thr wrost.  The wrost thing about working in there is the 12 hour shift because you are in so much pain form bending and handling heavy boxes and standing for a long period of time, it does wore you down.  Plus after three weeks you do get used to it

Now, for all the time that I have been there I have been working only 2 times a day, which is wrong then every Friday I hvae to travel 2 hours to get my cheque and then 2 hours back home, So I told that to the person who found me the job that I need a steady job, so now I am stuck with the 12 hour shift

When I get home from working at that job I am so achey, ouchy, my back is strained, weak, tired, just no energy, hungry and just yuky.  I feel like I am working on ht week-end and have the working week off, so if I can’t find anything else I am going to have to go and do something else like another part time job or working from home or even just doing some babysitiing or whatever.

I have so many dreams to that I have to save miney for but with this job it’s not going to work because I want to save money but I have bills, mortgage and groceries or for repairs so how can I survive on $200.oo weekly.
