My poor husband

THis morning at 6:30am I get a call from my husband. "Kristi, can you do me a favor and get me an appointment with the dentist today."
His toothache has morphed into so much pain he can no longer wait until a day off to have it looked at.
So being the WONDERFUL wife I am I was able to get him an emergency appt for 1:00.
At about 3:00 he stumbles into the kitchen gauze filling his mouth and hands me an instruction sheet of how to care for him and 2 scripts that need to be filled ASAP as one is for pain.
They pulled 2 teeth - with only novicaine. (This is why I really hate the dentist! Totally scary place!)
So I called his boss for his night job and he was completely unsympathetic as he had 3 other people call out. I explained it was an emergency, we had no way of knowing this would happen.
Guess what, my husband is at work! They couldn't cover his shift. At work, barely talking, in pain, and on Vicodin. I could cry! I told him if I could I would go to work for him tonight.
This 2nd job thing where you make crappy $ is awful - even when you do your job are always early, switch shift times when ever asked you still get treated like crap!!! Even awfuller when you need it to pay the bills and can't tell them to take a leap.
I think even scarier than the lack of jobs right now is these employers thinking they can pay crap and treat you like crap because theres a line of people behind you that will take your job and will probably work for even less!
