I'm being screwed by my company who keeps callin me on the weekend and begging me to come in and solve a crisis with the promise of being paid. For some families, I'd do it without a question. At other times, when I know it's not critical, I look towards that extra amount... since I already put in a minimum of 50 hours a week on a 40-hour salary. I've worked probably close to fifty extra hours in the past few months... my paycheck shows zero compensation. And apparently I do a good enough job to be called on the weeknd, but somehow I'm on probation for spending too much time with certain families and not enough with others. Am I just supposed to say, "Hey, sorry, I can't come see you today because your kid's not actively dying?" Oh hail, no.

I'm screwing myself over by continuing to be a friend and support person to my ex, and not getting anything in return but more tears and heartache. But at least I can admit it's stupid, that's the first step... right? Right??!!!
