I woke up this morning and could have sworn it was Friday.
Ive just thought I could ask to take tomorrow off but I know itl be met with 'well..we really need someone in tomorrow as we are all out working'.
The 1 day I want a day off(ok, Ive had 1 day off so far this year)and they are actually out working therefore they need someone to open up.I sit on my arse the rst of the day answering phones.Bosses come in around 11am so cant ask them to come in early and engineers will probably go straight from home first thing.
Should I bother asking?
If they say no its really gona cheese me off so should i bother!!!??
Take the day off. Put a picture of yourself in front of the spy camera.
Of course you should. It's always worth a try. Just mess your hair up and get a real crazy look in your eye when you ask them.
Ooh, there was talk of a spy camera which I was NOT happy about.But luckily its not happened, yet.
I asked...it was a bit dodgey for a while..there was an ermmm....is X in tomorrow?......or y, if y is in then yes, if not then NO'.
I phoned y, the converstation went something like.'Hi can you cover me tomorrow?' y,'what all day!!?, my arm hurts,(he had an operation on his elbow recently and took the sling off BEFORE his doctors advised, now it hurts him), I wont be able to do much'.
Me, 'well thats ok, I dont do anything here anyway'.
y-'Im left handed, I cant answer the phone'
me-(I tried to get clever)'Im right handed but Im using my left hand'(He was pointing out if he uses his good hand to answer the phone he cant hold a pen to write messages with in the bad hand).
He said he would cover me and i said Thank yuo.
I still feel bad tho,why?
I try no to look at people a sthey may see the lost 'I cant be bothered with life' look in my eye which Im sure never does me any favours.
Im ridiculously happy now tho.I can start my weekend early!!So much to do .
