How to quit a job on short notice? Employer jerking me around :(?
I have worked at a company for about a year (1 year next month). I only work on weekends for them, and fill in during the week if the 2 full timers need a day off.
This coming week, they want me to work all week days including my weekend, which is 9 days in a row. They gave me 1 day notice. I worked it out and told them I can work all week with the exception of Wednesday.
I asked if someone could cover my Sunday shift so my family and I can go on our last vacation (day trip to amusement park) before school starts. This is absolutely the only day we can go as my husband's schedule is going to change. My Sunday shift is only 4 hours and is not a busy day at all.
My boss says no one can cover this Sunday for me.
So I am expected to be available on a day's notice for a week of work but I can't have my 4 hour day covered.
I am going to quit anyways because my hours are fixed and no longer work with my schedule, but I would have liked to give notice. They will need to hire someone and train them (which will only take a couple weekdays) but after this, I could kind of care less.
Help!!! I am so anxious about what to do!
Should I say that I will have to give my notice if I can't have the day off?
1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment9 years agoCan you help me create a gamertag for xbox live?!?
I am trying to think up a gamertag for xbox live but I can't make up my mind! I usually create names based on being a mom so i want this one to be fun and be all about me. I am a girl but I don't need to advertise it, and here are some things about me I'd be willing to get ideas from:
I have a degree in Psychology so anything psychology related, I like morbid and scary movies and music, I am goofy and like to joke a lot, I love LOST and The Office, I am a child of the 80's & 90's, and my favorite bands are Smashing Pumpkins, Incubus, Marilyn Manson, and Carol King.
I hope that 's enough info for everyone that answers to give me a few ideas!
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question!
2 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoMarriage advice for flirting husband?
My husband has been the most loyal man the whole time I've known him. He got xbox live a few months ago and all was fine and dandy until he met a girl. She's the daughter of a work friend of his(and about 10 years younger than my husband) so he doesn't want things to be awkward when he plays online, but it seems he doesn't care about how awkward things are at home. I overheard him discussing personal things with her and called him on it. He said he wasn't doing anything wrong (turn the tables!) but later confessed to developing chemistry with her. He deleted her off his friends list but she's back on again to avoid awkwardness within his team.
What p*sses me off the most is that he jumps through hoops to be friends with her. She got upset one night because no one laughed at her joke and he was sending her messages saying "just come back sweetheart" because she left the game. I wish he would try so hard to get my attention... instead its the other way around.
He spent his week of vacation on xbox talking to and getting to know this girl. He won't get vacation back for a year so now I have to wait to go on a real vacation with him for another year because he wasted it on her.
I'm not a jealous person but something about this really p*ssed me off. Oh, he also told her I was jealous and insecure.

I want to experiment with the juicer but don't want to waste food making gross combinations. I also intend to use the processor to make crust for tarts, but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

1 AnswerCooking & Recipes1 decade agoWhat is the song from LOST and the Dawn commercials and who sings it?
I love the song that was in an episode of LOST and is now on Dawn dish soap commercials where they're showing how they clean up animals after oil spills.
I'm obviously not sure of the lyrics but it's something like "I've got troubles though but not today, they're gonna wash away, they're gonna wash away".
Please help :)

How do you recycle canisters that some foods come in such as peanuts and breadcrumbs? The lids are recyclable plastic but the containers are usually cardboard and a light metal (tin?). I don't know where to or how to recycle these things...any help would be appreciated?
10 AnswersGreen Living1 decade agoI have a Bachelor's degree in psychology. What would be a good job for me?
I am of course interested in all things mental health related but am also interested in business, more specifically human resources. I don't understand how businesses want to hire those with 2-3 years experience because how the hell are you supposed to get that experience!!!! That's what college was for!!!
One other bad thing is that I live in Ohio where no one can find a job, people are laid off every day, and no one has any money for anything.
I am desperate, any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. :)

I have an HP DV1040. I got it quite a while ago, in 2004. I was watching a movie on it one night and it made a loud pop and shut off. It won't turn back on now. Any suggestions on what happened? At the time, it was an expensive computer and I really like it, so I think
