Nomad JuanCa's Report

Ok, the first good news of the day. Yesterday Ricardo and me proposed to our boss and to the owner of the store that since they are firing everybody (off course we didn't phrase it that way) we could help them to cover the space left for the missing person in the schedule of the store.... if they would pay half salary of this person to Ricardo and the other half to me. That would mean around 91 usd more (after taxes) to my salary. Not bad huh? It will help me to pay my debts and not to struggle ... this would last only two months since Rosa is coming back at beggining of September.

Of course this is not free... we will have to increase the working schedule and they will setup the new schedules tonight... I am a bit scared... i mean we do work more than normal since the store works 12h/7d the schedule was divided into three meaning a person would work 8 hours per day plus weekends... so when the normal working time for any employee in Ecuador is 160h/week.... we do work about 190h/week.... receiving the same salary as any other person working only 160h. Now.... i don't know how many hours we will work, and i am not sure if i taxing my health with such effort... i just know one thing. I need the money so i will take the risk... i just hope i don't fall sleep :(. If we get to do good sales and get to reach goals stablished it would mean i will receive even more money... that would help me out to get out of debts sooner. I know i won't save anything since i pay almost all my salary to the banks, but at least i could pay them faster.

So, i think at the end the chances are good. Lets hope it works out fine... have to plan how i am going to do to meet my Dr without making them suspect. Anyways, it was good news for the early morning. Have a good day.
