Another Working Weekend

Saturday, February 11 ... 4:32 pm ... working until 11:00pm.   Well at least working is keeping me off Facebook so I can't get myself in a knot about anything I see on-line.   ;)

I wanted to give you a quick update about what happened with the casual Home Care position. 
On Monday, February 6 I did phone Angela and spoke to her regarding the pay rate.   She was nice about it but still questioned the whole Letter of Portability insisting we shouldn't have access to it because it isn't supported in the collective agreement.      So I wasn't hoping for too much at this point.    She went on to say that in order for me to get the amount I'm receiving here at Switchboard I would be getting a promotion and added that I would be making 3% more.    3% more??   At Home Care??    I'm still stunned but part of me won't believe it until I see it.    And I'm getting the retroactive pay for the difference.   I figured it out to be just under $600.00.    I'm still shocked and a little stunned.    That took more time than I thought it would take and the outcome is better than I thought it would be.     I'm so glad I did persue it and not let it go as she has suggested.      So I'm not quitting ... not yet anyway.
