Well, last week, while driving home from my boss’ house (the evil witch who treats me like her maid when I’m her administrative assistant), I began to worry more about our finances. For the past 6 wks I had been going to her house to help her “organize” her house since real estate is slow and because she is refusing to take new clients. Every time I go, she makes me feel less and less of a person. I’m supposed to be (and am treated as) a w-2 employee and pays me as a 1099. 
Since going to her house, she’s been cutting my hrs slowly, 1 hour at a time. Last week I was too emotional (AF paid a visit 
) so, I couldn’t take her ridiculous behavior toward me. I’ve been applying to jobs and have had no response, and because Dh is also getting hrs cut at work, we cannot pay some of the bills on time 
and get charged $39 here, $29 there for late fees…
I had had it. I was on the phone w/DH crying. I was becoming desperate. My mom had just told me her coworkers say I am over qualified to work for them, I have had no responses on monster.com, hotjobs, careerbuilder, craigslist, etc… I mean, I was so desperate, I brought up the idea of renting one of our bedrooms at our 3 bd house. I hate the idea of not having privacy, but moneywise, we need it. So, I brought up asking his sister to move in w/her baby
the same sister who is dating that married man, the one w/the baby born out of wedlock, the one he had invited to live w/us right before we married w/o asking my opinion. I couldn’t believe I had done that. To our surprise, she cannot afford to live w/us… and we were charging her less than what she pays for her apt. Her bf is paying her rent now… 
Well, w/o her, and w/o knowing honest people who’d rent a room, and w/o having a call back for any interviews, I was ready to give up. Until a few moments ago that another agent in the brokerage asked if I knew of anyone who’d help him with appraisals for foreclosures. I said no and then he said if anyone, he’d love to have me help him. He’s tried to “steal me” away from my boss for several months. So, I said maybe. He told me what I’d have to do, just take photos of homes and write a mini report on the neighborhood, and voila, 100 bucks per report. He says he needs at least 12 reports a week! He has held open houses for my boss, so he knows how horrible she is. So he thought maybe it was a bad idea since he doesn’t want to get me in trouble. (My boss is very possessive and acts as though I am her property, when she’s around, God forbid I speak to any agent because she’ll have a heart attack!)… so he said she didn’t really have to know, we could do this all by email and phone calls!!!
I accepted as long as my boss doesn’t find out. He also said he wished he had hired me as his assistant instead of his cousin, but he thought it’d be wrong if I quit and worked for him instead of my boss. Then I mentioned that at one point I wanted to get a RE license but I never cared enough to take the test, even though I already took the class. He said if I were interested, I could become his partner and help me out since he knows DH and I are struggling right now!
I feel such a relief! I think God is helping us out. I really don’t know if I want to get deeper into the RE business (I’ve learned to HATE it w/a passion) but he said I could do it part time after I finish school and after I quit working for my boss. He also said he could pay me more than twice of what my boss pays me if I were his assistant… but I’m not going to do that. I’m paying enough $$ for school to just not work in the new field I’m training for. But I might as well study for the RE license and take the test. I don’t lose anything by it!
Thank you all who prayed for me and supported me while I ranted about my boss last month.
CAF has become such a huge part of my life, I NEED to log on to have emotional support. Praise God for all the good He does for all of us!!!
