I feel you. Mine isn't too bad, but damn when I think of having just Sundays off I'm jealous. I can get 4-7 days off in a row every 9 weeks, but I'd get more time off, weekly if I had a better job or a job that allows a day off a week. I like what I do, but boss is tight. Took 2 years for me to get a raise ( I had to bring it up) and 4 years later I've not gotten a raise since. There is other people hiring in my profession, but where I'm at the school system is great, couldn't ask for a better public education. I've got 3 sons, 18, 15, and 12. My biggest goal in life was to be a better father than what I had. I've accomplished that, now it's on to more money. Folks cry about poor folks having kids, but me and my ol lady been together for 19 years, and our sons are well behaved and have good futures ahead of them. I'm only 35. My children will be great contributions as far as society goes. Been nice to have more money, naturally, but we do alright. Money ain't shit, but now days you've got to have it to be half way comfortable.
