Mom's 75th Birthday Gala
I asked for Saturday the 12th of December off, it was approved. Its rare
that you get a Saturday off in my line and field of work, Saturdays are
the busiest day of the week. Well my brothers and sisters changed the
date to the next wekend, the 19th. Like, I went to the powers that ne
and told them of the weekend date switch, and they told me that no way I
can have that Saturday off. I not mad or anything, just a little
dissappointed. I haven't seen certain family memebers since I was 17
years old, and was looking forward to seeing them this time. Another
reason I'm not mad, cause I know what is, is what it is. Lucky and glad
to have a job with the way things are going.
My brothers, sisters and my sister inlaw are emailing back and forth
with the details about what's going on. Moms knows nothing about it. Its
turning out to be a real nice affair so far. I want to be there, and I
can, but this is what's happening. I'm working from 7am to 10pm on that
Saturday. Where this is happening at, in The Bronx, it will take me 2
and a half hours to get there, no problem but... I have to be at work on
Sunday at 7am, and work til 6pm. I can do it, but I'm gonna feel like
shit on Sunday and probably be cranky as hell with no sleep involved.
I spoke with my mother today without revealing not TOO much information.
She told me not to stress the situation. I explained to her what the
other deal is too. One guy is getting fired sometime this week or within
the next 2 weeks. Another guy is thinking about leaving because of an
email a 'supposely' a customer emailed to the owners. So he is on the
fence about staying or leaving, I say sink, or swim motherfucker. I
don't know if my brothers and sisters will understand what's going on
with me and work, see they are off on weekends. I live sometimes if not
all the time from pay period to pay period, always have and I guess I
will always will. So explaing it to them, they won't understand, so I
explained to Moms, she understands.
My sister texted me and want me to do a screen saver type thing too at
the affair. Iwill text her back, probably call her and let her know what
the deal is. Hope she understands.
