I Have Some Good News Posted: 10-14-04 12:39pm
I have been working at a real estate
office as an administrative assitant, for
a while now. The thing is I am leaving
there in december, and my mother works
there. I don't want n e of them knowing
im pregnant. It's close to my house so
the traveling isn't bad.
Sunday 10 am - 6 pm
monday 9 am - 9 pm
tuesday 9 am - 9 pm
wednesday 9 am - 9 pm
thursday 9 am - 9 pm
friday 9 am - 9 pm
saturday 10 am - 6 pm
total of 76 hours a week in which they
payed $9.75 an hour. This is the best job
I have ever had, no taxes taken out or
nothing,except my mother takes $375 for
rent, reality hit when I leave how will I
support my child?
I went to manhattan yesterday and got a
day care center job my friend advise me to
try out. I am so grateful, for her
kindess and telling her friend about me.
I start in december at $11.50 an hour 10
hours a day = 50 hours a week (m-f 8 am -
6pm). Then when the year begins, if I
work more the wage increases. The bad
thing about it is that I will be leaving
4-5 months after to give birth.
I have to go tuesday for finger-printing
and what not. I believe things happen for
a reason and I am so blessed to know that
there is a god.

Wooow minimum wage there is $9.00?? I
wish!! Its only 6.65 here in canada, but
I guess we do get the free healthcare and
all that here too, so maybe that cancels
the other 2 dollars and some out?
Anyways thats awesome you got that job, I
take it you will be moving then? What do
your parents think about that?

yeah, I have to work for it. I rather do
day care since I love kids. Real estate
they work you too much for too lite as a
assistant.
I'm glad you got a good job! That is
awesome! Does your mother know yet that
you are preggers?

Yeah $5.15, but states and cities can
impose higher local minimum wages if they
want. Like in alaska, its $7.15, and in
oregon its $7.05
