Is it at all possible your employer decreased your work hours because he cares about not over-working you and that he really cares about your health? Also - I have to disagree with the "no job skills" part of your comment. It takes a lot of "people"skills (psychology, organization, responsibility) to be a waitress and remember who gets what and when, especially when most people tend to get a little grouchy when they are hungry! I worked for a temp agency for a while as a favor to my ex-daughter-in-law who was having trouble finding people. One of my jobs was to go to the airport, sit in a big room with about 12 other people, reading magazine/books, etc while waiting to be called up and have lotion spread on my hands while someone else took notes. A couple of the days I didn't get "called on" at all and just brought me a book to read and I got paid for the full day at $10/hr. There are lots of "people skill jobs" (receptionist, phone answering, delivery) and I'm sure a temp agency could list lots more.
