Aggravated!!!

OK, so, fair warning to anyone who is about to read this and to any moderators who may stumble upon it -- This post is a rant and not about weight loss!!!

So, I just had an argument with the hubb's.  He's been working a TON of overtime lately and I get that he wants to work and become one of those guys that they just CANNOT let go of because he's so flexible, capable, knowledgeable, etc.  But this working all the damn time is for the BIRDS!  I have a TON of stuff coming up in the next couple of weeks, so I need him home some to help out.  But instead of being flexible for his family, he's bending over backwards for them.  You see, they did some sort of training retreat and forgot to schedule enough people.  So, they had given 3 people vacation and now they are short handed.  But instead of just sucking it up and making some of the Supervisors actually WORK, they're working the guys who are there to death!  Now, keep in mind, this is Industrial Electrical, Mechanical, and Electronics work.  My hubby is the only person besides one other qualified to do Electronics.  OTHER THAN a couple of Supervisors.  So, instead of saying hey, we screwed up and now we are going to help you cover, they've scheduled him an impossible shift with no turnover.  He's going to be exhausted and that cannot be safe!  Not to mention, I am already worn to a nub from an injury, busy schedule, and a baby who is still up a lot.  I was up every hour last night with one or the other.  Oldest was having bad dreams.  I am SO tired I feel like crying!!!!!

So, I came up with a solution to the work problem and told him he could try asking his boss and he was like, "No one is going to want to work that."  I'm like, WHAT?  The guys there are ALWAYS asking for overtime!  And if nothing else, ONE Supervisor could cover to give you one day off!  But instead, he was like, well, they're just really short handed and you're acting like it's my fault.  I said no, I'm not.  I'm trying to help come up with a more reasonable solution rather than you working 84hrs. -- 62 on nights and 24 on days on one day of transition!  And even if no one DOES want to work it, it isn't his problem!  He's not the one who approved this stupid class and people's vacation without making sure that the floor was covered!  So, the Supervisor is the one who should be responsible for making sure that it is covered, covered safely, and that if there aren't enough regular guys that HE comes in and works it so that his employees aren't worked to death!  Everyone with any sense KNOWS that when you are tired that you are MUCH more prone to mistakes.  And when you work in Engineering in an Industrial job, it is just not SAFE!!!!

On top of all that, like I said, I have a TON coming up this week and I am so tired I can't think.  And I am getting no support.  I get he wants to do the right thing for his job, and I am THANKFUL for this job, but sometimes you just have to say enough is enough and let them find another way.  Especially when your family is starting to suffer.  I won't lie, I'll make it.  I won't fall apart.  But it's frustrating as snot when men put their jobs above what is going on at home.  I just feel like screaming!  SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why, but that sorta did make me feel better.
