my husbands has worked for the same company for 2 years..was a real blessing..still is since he has a job...but they paid for this high dollar classes and got him certified in an area where there are only 25 people in the us that are certified..bought him a new company truck and was given personal use of it..they had gas pumps on the site..was promised a raise and benefits after the class finished..(that was feb.)..the raise and benefits never came, ok he still has a job, then came only allowed one take a gas a week in the trucks, ok he uses two so its not a bad deal considering he drives it like its his ($65 fill up) now they are refusing gas for anyone..apparently they made a boo boo with irs and are trying to make the employees pay for it..so if you drive a company truck you pay the gas..so we tried leaving the truck there and my husband was riding his motorcycle but with the weather changing we knew that would not last long..at this point he is spending $150.00 in gas just to go back n forth to work. (which is a 60 mile trip a day not including him riding from job to job, getting supplies, etc..) he missed a week right before this gas thing happened because he messed up his ACL, then the next week the owner of the company closed for 2 days due to his sons death, then there was a holiday and we dont get paid for any of these days off..the week is our problem i had a plan but then it just kept getting worse, work was slowing down because he has to wait on others to catch up to him and his crew.

this led to use being 2 month behind on rent..the utilities were tough too and of course causing stress in the house...husband even had severe chest pains at night a few times..(im really worried about him)

well he sold his beautiful motorcycle to catch up rent and buy him a put-put truck to drive back to work which needed a tire iron something and 2 tires..other than that it was checked out to be top notch..he took care of a few other things too he got the tires at a awesome buy on craigslist for half the cost

paying the rent up was such a relief

i had two litters of yorkies and i got 4 deposits this week

we spent sunday together (he worked saturday to get his 40 hrs) the then he worked sat evening at the biker fest at quaker steak with his partner (little side thing) we went yard sailing, stopped at hardees, came home and chilled

i went to micheals that afternoon and spent some money on fall decorations..it was nice to be able to buy a few things and not worry about it.

this morning, they lost another supervisor..my husband is going to have to work sat again because again another crew is behind, and the supervisor that is gone, his work load is now my husbands..(no more money) if it wasnt for us i know he would have let them know what he thinks and quit..but he is toughing it out for us and biting his tongue which is very hard for him to do..=)

im so very thankful and proud of him!..I love him very much!

Glad he is such a hard worker but make sure he gets to a doctor for a check up for those chest pains. I lost my Dad when he was only 42 (left behind a wife & 5 kids) to a heart attack and we never knew he had problems because he hid them from us. Not saying something is seriously wrong but better safe than sorry.

Don't put it off.
