Denisse and I had a gummy last night because I was thinking I wouldn’t have to go into work until 4PM for a 4-12 at a police department doing bookings. But about 40 minutes after, I got a very gaslighting text about being on the schedule to work at the WIlmington City/County Building from 7am-11am instead which made me grumble for a bit because this week I was supposed to have Tuesday off and knew it. But Chris insisted and I didn’t want get into an argument.
So even though I got 5 something hours of effective sleep, I still feel effectively high. So I am breaking a cardinal rule of never showing up to work intoxicated. I am still buzzed from the gummy. Thankfully I am working as a security guard in a very low traffic area so I’ll make it. And to top it off, somebody I didn’t know showed up claiming that she was supposed to be working my shift. So she got upset and I grumbled.
Employers these days expect you to put your life on hold for them; like they can snap their fingers and you’ll hop to it. Now I get it if they are paying grade A health and welfare benefits but they better be 0 copay and 0 out of pocket. If I was working for a place like that, I’d willingly be johnny-on-the-spot. But it don’t quite work that way. Anyhow, I made it and completed the shift. I’m headed home in less than 30 minutes.
