soc_puppetGuess who worked 10 1/3 hours today? THIS GAL!
Guess who also gets to open the bakery tomorrow, all by her lonesome, no later than 5:30am? THIS PERSON RIGHT HERE!
Guess who also has an AnimeIowa meeting tomorrow afternoon that she has no guarantee she'll get to at all, let alone on time? NO, SERIOUSLY, GUESS. Give up? IT'S ME!
Ahahhahahaha. Hahaha. Haha. Ha. *quiet sob*
So my supervisor, who is also Geeky Coworker, who is basically the person who holds the bakery together by sheer badassery (because the next most knowledgeable/competent person is normally only there four out of five weekdays and not weekends (and therefore not tomorrow), and because my boss is incompetent at best) threw out her back this morning and had to leave because she was in extreme pain and unable to continue working. That left three of us, plus my boss, to get everything done in the bakery, and there was rather a lot to do today! Included in that list is one of the tasks that Geeky Coworker does almost exclusively, which is icing, assembling, and cutting sheet cake; thankfully, next-most-competent coworker, AKA Teacher Coworker, was able to take care of the icing and assembling, and hopefully someone can make the cutting happen tomorrow.
In a culmination of bad timing, I've also got an AnimeIowa meeting tomorrow. I had asked my boss if I could work later today and/or come in early tomorrow in order to then get out an hour-ish early and make it to the meeting on time. Preliminary analysis suggested that I would be able to do so, but that was before Geeky Coworker got injured on the job. So today I stayed an hour and a half later than I was supposed to, in order to get as much done in advance of tomorrow as possible. It started with the slim hope that I would be able to leave early tomorrow, and ended with grudging acceptance that such a thing might not be possible, and the best I might be able to realistically hope for was to leave at my scheduled time and arrive at the meeting less than an hour late. Then my boss called me an hour ago to ask me to open tomorrow, and effectively promised me that, in exchange for all of the extra work I was doing (nearly two and a half hours today, and at least half an hour tomorrow), she would make sure that I got out on time to get to my meeting.
I'm not sure that's a promise she can keep, though I sincerely hope that it is. Either way, I'll find out tomorrow.
Marceline icon because I am draaaaained from all of this. So drained. I might actually clock overtime this week, for the second time in my life. It might even be more than a minute this time, too!
