Bummer of a Day

I generally like my job, however, on days like today I really wish I didn’t have a job period. It’s MLK day and Jeff and Avery are home together watching movies and having fun while I’m stuck at work. Our store is short on Mondays and no one else here really knows how to run a sales deal, thus since I started working I’ve tried to not take Mondays off and actually I don’t think I ever have taken one off. Yet today Jeff talked me into just trying to see if I could take a vacation day even though it’s a Monday. So I called and asked and got shut down, like I suspected, but it still pissed –er um - ticked me off. I’m pretty sure when I got hired I wasn’t ever told that I could NEVER take a Monday off. Now I’m disgruntled and cursing my job and am having a bad attitude day. The thing that really sucks is that at any of my old jobs I would have had today off paid. Note to readers – try not to get a job in retail – you get screwed on holidays! It’s days like this I try to remind myself that I’m lucky to have a job with the economy going the way it’s going. I just need to keep repeating that to myself so that I don’t go postal on my fellow workers. For those of you off and enjoying a long weekend – I hate you – ok just kidding, but enjoy it because not all of us are as lucky! I better get back to my LAME-O job!

Well maybe we could trade off Lacy, I could work for you some days and you could stay at home and take care of Avery and Ryley together? But take it from a stay at home Mom, some days consider yourself lucky you have a job to escape to where for 8 hours you don't change diapers, referee, etc. etc.

I had to work that day too. No breaks here either. Sorry you were stuck at work too.
