So, firt things first, I love my job, but its hard work. Lots of physical activity, and early hours. I work 4am to 12pm most days
Its a part time, about 30 hours a week. I am subbing 2 days a week at another store that needs extra help, and they are very buisy, and its getting hard to keep up, but I do my best, and often out cook the people who work at the store .... but I am grtting bigger, slower and more worn down. I plan to work up until little man comes, as I haven't been working long enough to get maternity leave, so I will have only 2 weeks before I have to go back, or be terminated. I know I would be re hired, but I don't want to have to start over with my seniority. My plan was to slow down and drop my hours down to 10-15 a week in my last couple of weeks, but I don't know when I should do that. I feel like I should give my manager a heads up a week or two ahead of time, as well as the store I sub at, so they can plan accordingly.
How long did you ladies work, or continue to work full hours before you cut back if thats how you did it?
Hubby and I are in the process of purchasing a house, and I am despratly trying to get bills paid off/down before we sign the paperwork, and there will be furniture we need to buy for the new house, and I don't feel its fair to DH to just make him work and pay for the bills, new house, and everything we will need, so my paychecks are important as well... I just look at my ticker and realize how fast I am comming up on the 'baby could come at ANY time' mark, and its a little stressful TBH.
