Hurricane Gustav
Well, we really didn't get much of a hit from Gustav. Thankfully. and from what I hear the coast didn't do too badly either. I mean, there's still tornados floating about but I don't think anything really bad happened except for flooding.
Pray for those who lost their lives in Haiti area :( that's sad.
Yesterday Canes was closed, so I got a day off. I also had asked for today off. Thinking "well i don't want to be scheduled if the hurricane does hit or if there's rain or something."
Well, Alec calls me on Sunday and ask's me if I'll come in just for a few hours to prep. So I said yeah, blah. But I woke up today to the Tornado siren going off. It went off a couple times and it's raining pretty hard. I got stuck in the rain yesterday and it scared me shitless, so I'm not doing that again! I can't even call him though! I'm out of minutes, and I was just going to add some online but once again, I CAN'T FIND MY FREAKIN DEBIT CARD. So I feel really shitty, I've never done this to my job before. No call, no show. I feel like crap. BUT I was off today! I don't know why they asked me, the only pregnant girl at canes, to come in on her day off. Oh, well they always ask me! It's not like there's 40 other employees they could ask or anything!
I shouldn't have said yes. I should have said "uhh, I duno maybe?"
I keep looking around for one of my neighbors to use their phone to at least call. I feel like crap.
To make myself feel less guilty I've been e-mailing my mom about it. I shouldn't worry, I mean, hell I do have a good reason. I'm not going to work soaked. They know I have a pre-paid phone. They know I'm pregnant. and they know there's a tornado warning in our area until 4pm! So just trying to make myself feel better.
I've been getting super stressed lately over the dumbest things. Like, pumpkin will not stay out of the windows! No matter how many times I take her out of the windows and smack her butt and say "no pumpkin" she keeps doing it! I know she's not a dog and cats are harder to train and shit, but come on man! I've done it so many times. So this morning at 5am when she was tearing up my blinds I just screamed at her and started crying. Travis woke up and told me to just calm down and go back to sleep. So I did.
Now I feel like crap about my job. I have to call, I have to. My shift just now started. Hell I could run there, but I really don't want to get soaked and then sit in the air conditioning all morning getting sick. I did that yesterday and that was stupid! Especially when my awesome caring friend Erica texted me more than once asking if I needed anything. Lol.
I have to start thinking of things plural. Everything I do reflects on Jordan. Especially stress, I hear. I just need to chill the fuck out! What is canes going to do? Fire me? Because I'm pregnant and didn't want to walk in rainy tornado weather to work for 2 hours making cole slaw? Alec will understand.
And if/when they try to call me they'll see my phone is off and be like "huh, well her phones off." If they really wanted me, they'd send somebody over to my house.
I just feel bad! Ugh oh well. I requested off today anyway!
