Today I started work at 7:45am so I could help students get their textbooks for the new module. Oh look! It's 7:40 so I ALMOST worked 12 hours STRAIGHT!!! Unfortunately for me I'll be here until 9:30pm. It's a good thing I brought food with me. My fuse is not just veeery short, it's non-existent. My lunch relief person called in because his wife is sick and they have a couple boys. I get that this is no one's fault. We're down to a skeleton staff right now. I still feel like screaming and crying. I went to talk to Sharla to see if she had any suggestions. I told her this couldn't keep happening. I'm taking 2-3 hours off tomorrow. Whatever I can get. I think I'll just take off and watch Snow White and the Huntsman some time next week. My boss was very nice and it's o.k.-One of my friends wrote under my Facebook complaint it was alright because I'd get extra money BUT NOOO!!!-SALARY MEANS I GET PAID THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY WHETHER I WORK 3 HOURS OR 70 HOURS A WEEK. VENTING, VENTING ALL THE DAY!!! GIVE O GIVE O GIVE AWAY!!! I am so tired and onery and it is happening AGAIN tomorrow only I should at least get a break. I'd better. I can't believe this is happening. Counting my blessings, yes I have many. I'm grateful to have a job I enjoy, opportunities to grow. BUT I'm not going to be taken advantage.
