Hey, gas is up, food is up, and my margins at home just aren't what they used to be. I need some relief from the provisions we negotiated by contract. I thought they would only apply when I was saving a lot of money at home. Now that I'm not, the company either has to pay me more per hour, or not make me have to show up to work every day that I am supposed to so that I can go work that other job.

As they told me when they wouldn't cater a sequence that routinely didn't operate as published,......that's not in the contract.

I thought we gave each other our word, looked each other in the eye, and promised, come hell or high water, we'd abide by it. Least that's what John Wayne taught me.....maybe that's why they say in training, "We don't 'John Wayne' it around here."
