Arrrrrrgh.

I found out yesterday, shortly after I posted, that a new person has been hired here at work ... for 40 hours a week. They won't give me 40 hours — they actually complain when I happen to have more than 32, saying they don't have enough in the budget — and they hire a completely new person at 40?! What kind of crap is this? Just wait for it — the kicker is this person worked here five years ago, but moved away to pursue some other thing. So ... this is completely and utterly fair.

I think I may run away and join the circus. (Or not, after reading Water for Elephants. But I'll run away and join something. Maybe a subversive underground knitting group.)


ETA: Apparently this person has *either* 40 hours per week *or* 32-26 hours per week, depending on whom you ask. Next goal? Find out how much this person is being paid ...

We need to start our own yarn company, that'll teach everyone a lesson (and provide us with free yarn for the rest of our days ;D)
