So, I'm lounging around because I didn't have to be to work until 5:45 and I'm texting the girlfriend during her downtime.
I then get a text from BK, my department senior asking me to come in and help him make the schedule.
So, I'm sitting beside him in the breakroom, mainly watching the tv but also telling him what would work for me and what wouldn't. I really wasn't paying attention. Then he goes to me, "can you work Wednesday?" I hemmed and hawed on it because I have a class that requires me to be up at like 7am, so I hate working after it. After a bit I go, "oooook."
He gets done with the schedule... and he kind of looks at in amazement. He pulled out his phone and starts talking to someone. Mind you, I'm a man and sports center is on, so I'm not really paying attention.
He gets off the phone and goes, "great! You don't work on Wednesday." I was thinking, "excellent, I can sleep right after class the rest of the day."
Then the dots in my head connected and I go, "did you have me scheduled every day?""
He goes, "umm... yeah" the paused for a minute before saying, "the problem is, if I like you, I'm going to make you work." And I know he does like me. I've been there about 3 months, and he's given me more responsibility than the people who have been there longer.
I'm up for review and his exact words, "I'm going to try and get you the maximum on your raise. You deserve it!"
My last day off was Tuesday, my next day of will be Wednesday. Then who knows what stretch I'll be working again. I also have mid-terms next week. I might die.
