So DH & I went this morning and opened a checking account at a local bank. The other account is in another town and just isn't convenient or inexpensive with gas as high as it is. This one is kind of, sort of on my way to work...well, not really but it's just a bit out of the way from my job so I can make the deposits on the way to or from work. Rather than go with the Chase account, I'll just set the Direct Deposit up with this account. It's a free checking account and one of the few requirements is at least one DD every cycle. It also gives the highest interest of anything at the bank, 5.01% APY, if the requirements are met. So this will work out well, I think.
When I went in to the store to get my check I looked at the schedule for two weeks out. I'm on it for one day the week after next. That's it, one day, 5.5 hours. Umm, that won't work well for me. There might be a shift or two come open that I can snag but even at that, that's less than 20 hours for the week.
So, it looks as though I might need to find another part time job or perhaps a full time job elsewhere. I emailed HR to find out if this is a temporary issue or something long term. We'll see what they say.
Ugh, just when things were finally improving...
