after vacation
Week on the river was alright. Kind of disappointing, really, since the weather was really off and on in the worse way, and people were just as off and on as the clouds. Often, we were alone with a couple movies and a pack of cards so there were some frustrating moments where I’d just rather be home, you know, feeding my fish.
Fish are fine. They look pretty good, actually.
Didn’t even get to go on the good float down the river this year, due to everyone just running around elsewhere. Every year I go, I tell myself to just jump into the freezing cold water like every one else for a change, and usually I stick to my absolute hatred for cold temperatures instead. But the other day I swam around a bit until I just got too cold. Then we took a little detour into some other shallow areas of the river that were actually pretty fun to splash around in.
It’s funny, that every time I go on vacation there’s some little “what if’s” in the back of my mind the entire time. I booked an exact week off of work for etiquette’s sake. Well, at my last job, they like it if you book off a ’schedule’ week to make it easier for everyone involved. So, since this place I’m working at now seems to either have no rules at all, or like to keep all information a big huge secret, I figured I’d make it easy and book a schedule week off, despite the fact that I would only work a couple of those days anyway. So my vacation would technically be over on a wednesday. Of course, I’d come back on thursday, because I don’t work thursdays. I’ve NEVER been booked for a thursday. My schedule never changes. Ever.
EXCEPT OF COURSE WHILE I’M OUT OF TOWN.
ha ha… heh heh heh. I have no pity. Really.
So they called me YESTERDAY NIGHT. To tell me that I am scheduled THIS MORNING to work.
Yeah, no. At least I doubt that people will be angry. Because seriously. That’s fucked up. I just got home an HOUR ago. I just want to laugh. I swear, these people just pull these tricks out of their hats for kicks or something. Part of me is worried that I fucked up, but most of me, the SANE part of me can hardly believe what just happened. :D
Anyway, great. So now I have to call them to find out what other aspects of my schedule they’ve decided to mess up without even telling me. Of course, after the boss goes home. In like, one minute.
I shouldn’t be this surprised.
