"Why I Look Forward to School over the Weekend", an essay by Brendan Dailey
My weekend, in a word, blew. Why, you my ask, did it blow? Well, it all began on Saturday morning, when I went to work. I was scheduled for a 5 1/2 hour shift, from 11 - 4:30, ok fine. I'm not complaining. My problem starts when my co-worker, supposed to come in at 3, decides to call at 4:30 and say "gee guess what, I'm not gonna come today." So, she's fired. So my boss is like, hey can you stay until 5? The new guy's coming in, you can leave then. OK, fine. what's an extra half hour? So 5 oclock comes, and passes. at 5:30, I'm still working, wondering where the heck is this Kevin guy? My boss goes hey. can you stay until 7? *sigh. fine. I'll just cover everybody's butt today. so yea, 8 hour day at subway. what could be more enjoyable? but wait, it gets worse. Sunday morning, i'm going to church. nothing wrong with that... the woman lectoring decides, as is customary for this weekend evidently, not to show up. so what does that mean? i get elected to lector 10:30 mass, 5 minutes before mass starts. did i do fine? sure. but still. is it really THAT FREAKIN HARD to show up when you're scheduled? i mean WTH people? you're scheduled to WORK and you just don't show up? what is the matter with you? GAHHHHHH.
so yes, i worked 13 hours in 2 days. and on a side note, i don't mind lectoring. i just can't stand the fact that people don't see being scheduled as important enough to show up. REALLY can't stand that fact.
yea so that one girl was promptly fired. another one quit. that means, me, and one other guy are the only people that work evenings. you know what that means? i get more hours. that means, i get to work friday, saturday AND sunday this week. HOORAY! NO WEEKEND.
oh and on another side note, yes, i DO still make only $6.10/hour.
so anybody know of any job offers?
