update, hey.
so last week was really cool. but it also really sucked. i got the week off due to vacation time. and ashley came up from vancouver to visit for the whole time. 3rd - 9th. it was a lot of fun. except that i ended up working a few hours almost everyday of the week. it didnt make me happy to be out at dinner with her and friends and then have to cut the evening short because i have to work on my vacation. not to mention the very first day of my time off, i have to go in unexpectedly because someone gets totally hammered the day before and you have to cover for him.
its supposed to be that if you work on vacation days you get paid double time. but because my boss is such a tight ass with his money he came up with a brilliant idea. let me have this time off, and get paid my regular wage for the week on the hours i worked. then let me have my vacation time on a different week when i chose. at first it sounded alright, but i should have thought about it more. because i didnt think that i would be working as much, and i didnt realize how much it screwed up any plans i had with ashley.
but mostly it turned out alright.
and its back to another long week of working now. with open house. its going to be lots of work, lots of hours. working on my days off. fun fun fun.
