Back to Square One
By saying "flexible am/pm/weekend schedule" my new boss meant I'll be working every single Sunday from 8am-6pm or I am out of a job. We've had a difficult start to the new job trying to reach a compromise when only one of us (me) is compromising. As it currently stands, I've agreed to work her mandated Sunday schedule in order to keep my job. She reluctantly allowed me to do even that as she was ready to shake hands and go our separate ways more than once since this discrepancy arose. I've offered to work every Sunday from 2-6, I've offered to work every Saturday whatever hours she wants, I've offered to work any evening hours, alternating Sundays, but none of that was acceptable to her.
So, it's safe to say that resumes are back out, I've re-inquired about jobs I had interviewed for before accepting this one and I'm trying to remain optimistic that something better is going to come up that will allow me to still attend church on a regular basis.
It is most interesting, isn't it, that all of this conflict has arisen during employment by a company with the word "Christian" in its name.

Actually, the job where I was most taken advantage of and treated the poorest was for a Christian employer. What's with that?
Hope the search is quick and productive! :)
And when assigning scholarship monies for low income kids to attend day camp I was told to ignore the sliding scale I was supposed to use and make 50% the maximum available. All the while they are touting their 'no one is denied use based on their inability to pay' line while they were fundraising.
The Christian is still in the name because Money Grubbing just doesn't get people to open up their wallets.
/end rant.

Sometimes it is the people we least expect that make life hard, but it is the people you least expect that make life a little easier by the same token.

But you totally passed your "Chariots of Fire" test!
I was hoping like others to find a glowing first day at new job post. You are in my thoughts/prayers.
