[zemnarihah]

ik i just get on here and complain about the same things all the time but god it is so fucking frustrating how difficult it is to get specific days off at my job i really feel that my time doesnt belong to me sometimes

#like i understand that my job absolutely needs to have a certain amount of staffing like its a liability thing whatever. but god sometimes i #remember working in food service and texting the manager two weeks out that i need a certain day off. and just getting it #now its like. i put in my time off wait list request a month before. dont get it bc the waitlist for this particular weekend was a mile lon #6 months ago. get scheduled 8 hour shifts all three days. beg people for coverage and slowly whittle my shifts down by trading in 2 hour #increments since everyone's schedules are fucking insane including mine and none of us can actually trade a full shift. I cant trade half o #these people because theyre not trained to the same level as me. i beg the managers to cut a couple hours in exchange for covering ops #literally in hurricanes. work a one hour shift after class since thats what i could get someone to trade. I still have 5 and a half hours #left to get covered #okay the good news is. erik is coming this weekend:) and i have a free weekend (except for 5 and a half hours)to spend lots of time with hi #i mean thats fiiiiiine like he can find something to do if i have to work. he can read his little law books for a bit #and i expect a hot meal waiting for me on the table when I get off! #i bet he would do that if i asked haha should i get him a little frilly apron and make him be my housewife on that day
