I have been enjoying all of the happy and fun posts {happy anniversary, MBC & Matthew!!! Hope you have a peaceful drive down here!}.
But, these comments bring me back to reality {one I am trying to avoid}...
I work at the bullesye and they've scheduled me to open at 5:30. I am not really happy with them at this point. Tomorrows early shift aside, they brought in a lot of temps and cut the hours of so many others. Just in time for the holidays. I thought it was personal, being cut to just two days, then one, from 5. {They did not approve my LOA and have been giving me grief over it}. So, I figured I'd be working a lot, well, since they couldn't approve my time off. Nope.
I haven't complained because I do want time off, I figure this works into my plans. But, other co-workers needed those hours desperately. I can't believe they've done this. Perhaps when it gets closer to Christmas they'll call people in but that doesn't make up for the 5-10 hour paychecks they'll be getting in the meantime. And, during the holidays.
I need to put in for spring break off {and I need to check my rights as far as LOA for family are} as it is also our 25th anniversary and we are planning to go on a trip.
Damn. I have to get up at 4:30??? Or earlier??? Carp.
