The starred items are things that are opened, or close to being used up. I will work hard to get these items used in a proper manner. It will help decrease my grocery costs for the month. I don't get paid again until the 22nd of this month. The hospital is getting rid of all overtime. It's cutting costs to prevent any adverse financial difficulties to all facilities. This means that they are flexing out overtime first. I work four shifts a week, and was called at home, and told to be "on call". I do get paid call time, but no actual overtime unless they need me to come in.
