How much worse can this get?

 

Looks like this is just not my month.

 

Last night waiting at the train station for my sister, her train was almost there and I was in the back with my son, feeding him and he was almost asleep. I had had all the doors locked so that we would be safe. It was dark outside and I wasn't taking any chances.

I got out and locked the back door and closed it and forgot to unlock the front door. The car was running and my baby was inside. I was hysterical!  I called everyone I could but no once was answering. My husband was at work and had the other key to the car. I didn't have his work number, couldn't remember it, called his cell - no answer. Called 411 got he other store, asked the manager there to call him, took forever! Tried his parents, his brother, no answer.

I didn't have money for a lock-smith; I was totally freaked out.

Finally, got ahold of my husband. He called his dad, who went by his store and brought me the key.

 

Now this morning, I'm trying to get grievance from my work and they are telling me that I'm not allowed paid time off for grievance. I've never questioned anything before thru work, but today, I'm asking questions. My boss sent me a piece from the Handbook, but there is nothing in there on grievance.

This is not fair.

I asked my boss why this is; why I'm not able to take time to mourn the loss of my grandfather without hurting my work status and loosing the money that we really need for rent.

This is outrageous!

 

I wasn't able to take maternity leave either, it was unpaid. I couldn't afford to take 6 wks off without pay. I could only afford to take 2 wks off.

This just isn't fair.

 

I'm waiting to find out what HR has to say on the policy - my boss was kind enough to go ask for me.
