I requested at Fashion Bug to have the 7-15 off because i was going to go to Michigan and spend time with my family that i haven't had in about 8 months. My store manager went and scheduled me on for this weekend because of Inventory. An inventory that i didn't know anything about it being Mandatory until Monday...so i went and i talked her asking her why i couldn't still go to Michigan when i had asked for it off. Of course she gave some muble jumbo stuff that was actually quite litgitament however, i still do not see why she couldn't make an exception for someone who, unlike all the other employees, has not been home for the holidays.
So, i told her that i was quitting...and no she didn't change her mind about giving me the weekend off.
Now, i'm supposed to complete this week, which is Saturday...but i think what i am going to do is get another employee to work for me on Saturday and i am still going to go home on Friday. And i don't care about inventory.
Maybe i am wrong in going home...but i don't think that i am. For the past two years i have placed my job over my family...and for once, I am not going to do that...there are too many people who i love and care about that would be disappointed.
I am going to go home and not rush the entire week that i am there. Not only that but i don't have to much to worry about as far as getting a bad reference goes...because lets see i have had other jobs...that have not ended badly.
And lets say she puts me down as a no call no show...what is she going to do, fire me?
-Vanessa, i know this is completely different than what i told you the other day...so i hope you're still proud of me. And here's hoping that there isn't going to be some big car crash or snow storm that i will now get into as a result of going.
-Just so we don't have a repeat of the "ditch" does anybody reading this have a bad feeling about me going home this weekend...the last time a lot of people did and didn't tell me...so tell me now or forever hold your peace.

Get your ass home. Stay with us. I have a KEY to the Ryerse's..heh heh...so if you WANNA go there..I'm the "MAN".
Forget what "OTHER PEOPLE" say about coming home (except me of course)...Do you feel like its ok / leading of GOD to come home???
HOW come you aren't going to be in church on Sunday? I could plan a Potluck at church, OR you can tell me who you want invited, and I'll get a private lunch going.
Where does your mom live anyway.
My mom lives near detroit...in Sterling heights.
Yeah, i do think i need to go home. It is like my roommate said..."What is more important? Family? Or making money?"
I think we should have a sleep over at the ryerse's ...you, me, Jenny, and Elizabeth..we'll go to the movies, get some games, order pizza...just have a good old game of truth or dare..lol. Oh lets be 16 again.
Oh, i need to spend time with my mom..plus i don't need no pot-luck dinner..I'm trying to get rid of the pot-luck belly i already have.lol!
I'll compromise with ya...I'll be at church Sunday evening...how's that.
As long as you Jenny and Elizabeth are there i'll be happy.
It's okay. It's important to be a good employee, but it's also important to see your family. As long as your boss knows you are not going to be there, she'll have to deal with the choices she made in managing her employees' needs. I think if she knows ahead of time it's fine. People make choices.
Be careful going home, though.
And don't wreck my house. ;)
