Work

I have been working 30+ hours a week at work. I wouldn't mind so much if I had some sort of set schedule, but my job does not call for such a thing. Rather, I close some days, preclose, others, etc.

For example, Thursday night I close. Then, as a favor to a friend, I am taking a shift from 9-3:30 friday. I don't want to do it, but I am sure he would for me. I hate the friday morning shift - it is the busiest time of the week, and right now, we have a weakened staff with a new manager and a few new folk. I don't trust most of them on bar that early - I almost hope I am on bar, but I know that at 9AM, I will get it in horrid condition.

But I digress.

Saturday, I am scheduled to work from 4- close. However, I have a wedding shower to attend that day for a friend of mine. I cannot miss this appointment. I shall have to find someone to cover that shift, because I absolutely cannot work it.

This week bites - luckily, next week I only have 18 hours. I will see a difference in pay, but my time is much more valuable than money.
