The subway way

So last night I was at work just to read the roster and find out that I am doing a close this Friday. This Friday is the work dinner. But you know, we are closing early. The dinner is at 7.30pm and we close at 7pm, meaning I leave by 7.15pm and technically should get dressed in the fridge and go straight to the dinner, smelling like subway (aka bread, pickles and sanitiser). But of course, that is not gonna happen. I'd go home and have a quick shower and then go to the dinner and be late. I rather be late than smell like subway. So that was a nice start to my shift.

Not only that, but I found out I am closing with someone who no one likes and doesn't help much. So yay for that, right?! Because everyone is going to the dinner and no one wants to work with this person, no one would swap shifts with me. So I figured, it could be worst right?! But then, salvation came along.

About 2 hours after I found this out, a girl from work comes in saying she doesn't wanna work tonight. And I'm saying how i don't wanna work friday night. So she says, if I do her shift tonight, she'll swap with me friday night (i'll work during lunch and she'll do close). I agree, of course. So she rings ppl around to let managers know and all. And then she leaves. About an hour after that, we get a call from one of the managers from the store which I was gonna work in. He's saying that we can't swap coz the pay difference is too big and bla bla bla (he makes no sense, considering cheaper ppl cover for more expensive ones all the time! it balances out). So drama goes around, no one can et in thought with anyone, and eventually the girl has to do the shift. Because of that, she wouldn't swap friday with me. But it gets worst.

Because I knew I couldn't work, I decided to go christmas shopping today, just to get a call in the morning asking if I could do the close tonight! WTF! I said no and the girl was gonna call in sick and stuff. But I think she ended up doing it. And the good news is, she'll still swap friday with me :D hooray for not going to dinner smelling like pickles :D

You see, my days are much more dramatic when I have work :P So much drama happens there nowdays, it's quite entertaining. But I'll leave all those ones for another day ;)
