poor dh

he's really been working hard to get a promotion lately so we can get this debt out of the way. he's been taking call for anyone who needs it, volunteering for any extra work, etc. he doesn't get paid for any of this, he's just hoping to impress his boss so he can finally get a promotion.

yesterday they asked if someone could take some after hours work and he quickly volunteered thinking it would be immediately after hours..around 5 or 6. the work doesn't start until 9:30 tonight! and he has to be in the office. So he's putting in at least a 14 hour day today..... :( 

Re: poor dh

  • Oh my.... that's awful!

    Good for him for working so hard for ya'll though! Shows he has good character and would do anything to support his family. :-) I hope he's not over-working himself though!!

    :(  I've totally been there, and it realllllly sucks!  Hope it isnt too bad for him, make sure his comfy bed and an ice cold beer will be waiting for him when he gets home.
  • Does he at least get paid for taking on the extra hours? It doesn't seem right not to.

    Oh, that really stinks, especially since the hours are so late!!  DH tends to do the same kind of thing.  It always irritates me to know that he's working so hard and not getting any kind of compensation for it.  They deserve to be paid for all their hard work!

    I agree Bev!  You've got a good man there Lauren Big Smile  I really hope he gets a promotion soon!  He certainly deserves it!

    I'm so with you on the debt thing.  We are busting our tails scrimping and saving.  It's a PITA right now, but it is really rewarding to see that debt go down.  Just think how amazing it's gonna feel when all our hard work pays off and we are school loan free.  I wish we lived closer together so that when we are all paid off we could get together and celebrate : )
