Since you ask, my wife really got her sister this morning. My wife retired last August, and her sister is the manager at the company that she works for that is a supply warehouse. I guess it was about 3 months ago, my wife's sister needed someone a few days a week to come in and help out in the office putting in orders and answering the phone, things like that.

Well, what started out of 20 hrs a week has turned into 5 days a week, 6 hr days bc one of the two full time ladies that had been working there for 5 years quit a few weeks ago for personal reasons. That leaves 1 part time worker, my wife, and a full time worker. Now the other full time lady that my wife works with, her husband gets his orders that he was being transferred to another duty station at Fort Lee Virginia. For what ever the reason the lady didn't tell my sister in law that she would be leaving in two weeks until this past Friday, and that is going to leave my sister in law with one part time worker in the office that is my wife, and this has left my sister in law between a rock and a hard spot. My sister in law told wife she would use a temp service until she found two more to hire full time, and sister in law wants my wife to train them, and wife tells her no problem that she was glad that she could help her out of a dire jam really.

Well, my wife calls her sister this morning and tells that she retire from a good job making a lot more money bc she was ready to retire from working and the routine of getting up early and going to work every day, her sister must have hit the floor bc there was a long pause, and when sister in law finally said something, my wife tells her April fools, then the laughing breaks out. Sister in law told wife it was a bad April fools joke bc she was thinking during that pause that it wasn't anyway possible she could manage all those guys in the warehouse and do the office work also even though she had a couple of guy that would help her with the warehouse, but she couldn't hold down the office by her self. I told wife after, this may help her sister to become a smarter better manager by having a couple part time office workers in case a problem like losing her two full time office worker in a 5 week span. My wife really don't like working as many hrs as this part time job has turned into, but she does it to help her sister. My sister in law should get two more full time office people, and have two part timers coming in 4 hrs each, and if something like the situation she is in now, it wouldn't hurt as much bc she would have two experience people working part time that if the need was there, they could get more hours or become a full time office workers. But to go from 3 people in the office to Zero in a few weeks would have to be a manager nightmare!!!!
