Besides, you don't know sam's personal situation, who're you to tell her to work 50hrs? She could have a physical condition, or other obligations that would make that difficult. "More is better" does not always apply, especially when it comes to working a job you don't necessarily like.

Actually, I have a disability and am currently living a life of genteel but extreme poverty. I hate my situation and I HATE not being able to work as I once did. I don't know about 50 hours, but if I could work at my old profession 40 hours a week, I'd be out the door in a flash.
A while back an aquaintance mentioned to me that his wife who manages a local motel was looking for a weekend relief desk clerk.
I explained my difficulties to her, and she was still willing to give me a chance. The job involves counting up the cash and credit card receipts each night with no cash register, just a drawer where the day's proceeds are kept. Other cash is kept in a cabinet in the living room and in a pouch hidden under the sofa. I kid you not.
The accounting system is byzantine to say the least, and its been a struggle to learn it. I really hope my boss continues to have patience with me, since I am very grateful for the work, and the extra bit of money makes a real difference in my life.
