Today’s morning started me off with a soaking wet pair of canvas shoes. The rain wasnt that hard, and I’ve been avoiding puddles on the way, but somehow, it managed to get my favorite black canvass super wet.
Managed to get to class somewhat dry, turned in my paper, filled in a survey, and went vamoosh.
So far, so good.
I was supposed to go to work around 5pm, as a fill-in, and I got off class around 10:30 am. I have plenty of time to burn and I already know what to do about it. However, I have a big finals due tomorrow, and with this kind of rainy weather, I dont really feel like going to work. I mean, I would rather study at home than mooch off at my friend’s house, but I cant. I dont mind working, it’s just that I have a finals due tomorrow.
As I was on my way to my friend’s house to burn my time, I thought of calling work just to make sure I’m suppose to come in today. See, for the past few weeks, I’ve been coming in to fill in for a co-worker who had to take an emergency leave. I dont mind filling in for her, but the shit is, the hours they want me to work are kind of fucked up. Initially, I was told I was to work 7 hours, from 1 pm till 8pm. I was kind of tight, since I get off class around 11:30, rush-eat lunch and drive to work, etc., but I dont mind, extra money is always good.
But the shit was, when I got there, on my first day as a fill-in, I was told I was suppose to come in at 5pm, and get off at 8. I’m like wtf. They were telling me this as if I was suppose to know this kind of fucked up shit. I’m like, why didnt you tell me this? And I’m suppose to wait for 5 hours, then drive an extra 20 minutes here, just to work for 3 hours?
My director gave me some lousy explanations but I’m just like you know, fuck it. I took the offer and so far, as much as I hate the wait, I kind of benefitted from it, in a way that I get to take naps and stuff with the fucked up 5 hour break I ended up with.
Ok, so back to the present. The co-worker I was filling up for was said to come back in May. I regularly checked on this matter, because I seriously, dont want to waste 5 hours of waiting, gas, and bullshiterry, just to be sent home. For the past few times, I was told, they’re not sure, blah blah blah. I’m like, it’s not really their fault, since it’s the employee’s job to update their boss about their return, right?
So like, last weekend, I heard that this co-worker, was coming back. I asked my other co-worker about it, she said, she heard that so-and-so is coming back, but she’s not really sure,but just to be safe, call in before I come in so I wont waste shit. I’m like, well, I’m sure, our director will call me to let me know if so-and-so is back. (like fuck she would.)
Back to the present. I called work, and asked for my other co-worker to check if so-and-so is back. She said yes, so I was like, then I dont need to come in then?Why wasnt I informed? She said she wasnt sure and that I should talk to our director.
I called her, and she was “Oh, she’s back, and you dont have to come in today.” in a super annoying nonchalant tone.
I’m usually calm, but when I heard this, I couldnt stop myself. “Why didnt you inform me about this matter then?”
Director: “I only heard it last Saturday (wtf?) but it was still indefinite so I waited till today.”
Me: (looked at watch, 11:45 am, meaning, everybody has already been accounted for.) ” SO why didnt you call me? I would have showed up later for work for nothing?”
Director: “I’m sorry, but blah blah blah….” She talks so funny and weird, like she repeats the same words and context and sometimes they dont make sense.
Me: “K bye.”
So fucking pissed. I didnt want to listen to her blab anymore. She’s sweet and stuff but she’s super incompetent.
Anyways, I after I had my rants about this bullshittery with my friend, I went home to nap and hopefully study. Fucking shit. I ended up having a heavy headache and some nausea and vomitting. As I’m writing this entry, I can feel my head swirl and my knees weak. I could barely stand up earlier.
Fuck this shit
