A small price to pay for freedom.
Today at work, I was trying to figure out how to get of work Thursday so I could rest for the big family weekend get together during christmas. I keep saying to myself " I should have asked for the day off." But then I found out that if I took thursday off, I would lose my holiday pay. I said to myself," Fuck it, might as well go in." Then a small miracle happened.
Because of the talk of snow here in the south, the supervisors got together to figure out a way to keep employee's from calling in if the weather is to bad. They asked us if we worked until ten o'clock, we would have tomorrow off and on top of that, we would get our holiday pay. Now we wouldn't get the money for working the 10 to 12 hour shift, but we still get holiday pay.
"Where do I sign up?" I said to myself. Stayed the extra hours and now I have a four day weekend. To boot, I also got paid a day early! It's times like these that make me love christmas.
