hubby just got 2nd job at walmart!
he's been a university professor for 13 years with NO raises for the last three. they built a MEGA walmart a half mile from our house in this small town that has NO jobs, so he decided to make lemonade with this lemon and work in their greenhouse parttime - he's a master gardener and it's not the plants' fault they're in walmart. we need to clean up some bills because he's starting med school next year. but walmart?????? don't hate me...... we're doing what we have to do.

btw, i'm an ACE home-based medical transcriptionist who could squeeze in another client if anybody knows of a doc who's set up to dictate eletronically into a computer.

1. Do what ya gotta do
Anyone who would hate you or judge your husband for doing what you gotta do to survive should be immediately ignored.

I will say that I hope everything goes the way you want it too eventually.

2. No one hates the Walmart employees
I just encourage people to shop in other places if they can manage. At least, your husband gets to work with the plants.

3. Congrats. I couldn't even get a job there.
You gotta do what you gotta do. I wish I could, but they think I'm a bad person (they think their computer can accurately tell a person about who he/she is... sigh.). We all have to work within the system, it's not going to change anytime soon.
