A week goes by so fast T_T
I had so much fun this past week, but it came and went so fast! T_T Monday night we picked Dayne up from the airport, and the two of us exchanged our gifts right away (cause one of us was impatient *cough* >.>). He got me an outlet adaptor that lets you charge USB things from regular outlets (like iPods and my new phone, who's power cord doesn't work), and he got me this back massager thing that you can either wear like a backpack or attatch to a chair, and he got me the book "A Girl's Guide to dating a Geek" :|, and... he got me.... ALL OF SAILOR MOON ON DVD! OMGosh I died a little when I unwrapped that :| I know what I'LL be doing in my freetime now.
Tuesday we lounged around all day. Seriously... we didn't even shower. :| Wednesday we had to get up and shower in the morning cause I has a Chiropractor appointment, but then we went back home... and lounged around the whole rest of the day. At least until Jim's kids got there, then we were both playing with them (they LOVED Dayne, and he was so great with them... it made me happy). Thursday afternoon he drove my car to Fond du Lac so we could go to the mall and get our Christmas shopping done, and then I took him to Tuckers for dinner. And then Friday was another lounge day, until the kids got there.
Saturday was my family's Christmas, where he got to meet my mom's side of the family and have at least one out of four of my little boy cousins climbing all over him at all times. One of them is in wrestling, like Dayne used to be, so it was adorable watching Dayne try to teach him how to do some things. My grandparents and all my aunts and uncles loved him, too, so it was all-in-all a lot of fun. We stayed up until 5:30 in the morning that night watching season 7 of Scrubs, too. >.> And then, Sunday we had to drive him to the airport to go home again. T_T
That's the gist of things, but all that time, too, it was snowing like CRAZY. Oh, and, the biggest thing - I was schedualed to work on Saturday and Sunday. So I called at the start of the week to try to work things out, and the whole week up until Saturday I was trying to work things out with them. I would have probably still been able to make it in on Sunday, and just be a little late, after dropping Dayne off... but I didn't have to even try, because after I called in on Saturday to say I wouldn't be able to make it in (cause let's face it - I was NOT going to miss my family's Christmas), I got a call back later from a woman in the office saying that I was not to report into work until further notice. They're supposed to call me today and all that jazz, but one of three things can happen: They'll tell me that I'll have an occurrence point for calling in (which is what SHOULD happen, if they follow their own rules), they could tell me I am on unpaid suspension for a certain amount of time, or they could tell me that I'm fired.
I won't even go into all the reasons why they can't legally fire me (not to mention, I'm in the union now, and they'll fight for me, supossedly). But if they do? Good riddance. It's a GREAT paying job, and I'd love to be able to keep it... but I'm not really going to fight that hard to keep it if they're going to fire me for this. It's such bullshit. I TRIED to work things out, and by doing so they had PLENTY of time to work things out on their end. But they didn't. I could have easily just called in on Saturday with no prior warning and then what? They would have just given me an occurance point and moved on. But because I had told them in advance, I am facing disiplinary actions. Whatever. I'm not too heart-broken, even if the pay was nice.
