Jen and Steve's wedding

Oct 11, 2005 22:47

I'm so excited! I will be photographing Jen and Steve's wedding this saturday! The other very exciting thing is that my boss Rod is gonna let me borrow some lights so now I don't have to rent them! Rod is so awesome, unlike my other boss Mark. I mean don't get me wrong, Mark is not a bad guy but he's been acting like a jerk to me lately. Like this week for example, since I asked for friday and saturday off because I have to photograph the wedding, he decided to give me almost no hours. Instead of just making those days my days off for the week, he gave me 4 days off so that I was only working 3 days with a total of 20 hours. He said that he didn't need me the other two days, and basically made me beg him for more hours. As it worked out I was able to convince him that he did in fact need me those days and I got some more hours. Stephanie thinks that he was trying to punish me for asking for the weekend off, as if by doing that I would say "oh I'm so sorry Mark I changed my mind please let me work this weekend". This was the first and only time that I have asked for a weekend off, and I asked for it off over 3 months ago! I can't believe he made me beg him to give me more hours. I seriously wanted to quit right then and there when I saw the schedule, but I stoped myself because I can't quit without another job to go to.
I think that Rod is just about the only person at work that I actually want to work with right now. Just because I know that when I go in he will be happy to see me, he won't overly criticise me, I won't have any problems with him, and he won't be a drama queen. Unfortunately, everyone else falls into one of those categories some if not most of the time. Why can't I just have a fun job without stress, drama, and mean people? Or does a job like that just not exist?
