I've got a problem I need to bitch about [v6]

Thank you guys.

Ugh, I knew it was too good to be true not to have an issue with Ayumi for over a month. Popped the hood just a little while ago to make my usual check of fluids while getting fuel and discovered the side of the radiator was covered in fresh steaming coolant.

After carefully watching the upper radiator hose after getting home, I think it's the culprit. I'm gonna ask a tech at the shop to pressure test the cooling system just to be make sure. Either way I'm not happy, neither the radiator hose or radiator are old. Hoses are about a year and a half, while the radiator is even newer.

Cooling system problems are definitely a recurring issue with this truck...

Gonna be doing a lot of overtime starting tomorrow

Me last week. Had about 40 hours total by the end of the week (probably one of the reasons why I was so emotionally out of whack last week).

At least this week's paycheck will be super nice.

More work can definitely be overwhelming if you're not used it, that said 40 hours is the minimum for full time workers. If you're not considered full time, apparently working 40 hours is a major issue because your employer is supposed to give more benefits or something. Probably something to with Obamacare garbage. Businesses around here watch hours like hawks.


My normal scheduled work week is about 44, tho I usually only end up with 83ish by the end of the pay period (I'm paid Biweekly).

One of my former managers tried to get me full time hours when she was with us. Went about 2 or 3 weeks before I started getting overwhelmed... I know I need a full time job to live, but I just can't seem to stand it where I am currently.

Oh, speaking of former managers, did I mention that my newest manager already quit after like 2 or 3 months? I've been at this store nearly 3 years now (will be 3 in April), and we've gone through... *counts on his fingers* ...5 managers in that time...

They had us working 38 hours as a part time at walmart

See, that gets me. You're practically full time, it's so they don't have to give you insurance and all that usefulness (or difficulty, depending on your POV).

TBH, that sounds about right for that industry. One of the reasons I didn't wanna get into it, nothing but a revolving door the whole way up the chain. And even when you do climb all the way up, you generally aren't making that much money.

What made me mad about working that much, is that I asked them how many days I would work a week because I was taking online classes. They said I'd work 3-4 days a week, which is cool I'm part ime but then I'd only get 1 or 2 days off which is working 5-6 days.
