So I was getting ready to go into work today. Another friggin' 12 hour shift on a holiday. (I work every single holiday except Christmas day). So the boss calls me and tells me there won't be any trucks coming in today, and that they'll see me tomorrow. So I was able to enjoy about 15 minutes of my holiday with my family, when they call me back.
Bless em', they wanted to ask me if I still wanted hours today doing something else. I told them thanks, but I'd already made plans with my family since I was told to stay home. Now my freakin' family is all over me, pissed because I didn't take the hours back and go into work like a "team player". Yeah sure, while all my co-workers and family members who get every single holiday off get to stay home, yet again.
Geez almighty. Just had a new guy start, worked 2 days and asked for vacation, and got it. Had 4 people out last week (including the boss) because of weddings, vacations, and fishing. Where was I? Covering their shifts, while I've been recovering from pneumonia, by the way. God, it just flies all over me. Heaven forbid I get a holiday off too without being given the guilt treatment. I was about to post in the "what made you happy today" thread, but I sure can't say I'm gonna enjoy this holiday now. Guess I'll just have to wait for Christmas day, and hope for a better one.
