I ended up having another sixteen hour day today. I am very quickly getting tired of that and am ready to start bashing heads in. One of my managers started whining around noon that his entire afternoon shift had called in and he didn’t know what to do. I helped him cover the shift but also suggested that it might be wise to not schedule them anymore. He knew when he made the schedule who was unreliable and who was not.

I am going in tomorrow morning, but it is my only chance for a partial day off between now and Sunday so I am going to try and get out of there by nine or ten and come home. I will just have to cross my fingers and hope everyone shows up.

I guess that they decided that no phone calls were warranted last night. Lucky me. I ended up staying and cleaning until about seven PM last night and came home. Everyone showed up for work on the graveyard shift, which is a good thing. I actually managed to get six hours of sleep for the first time this week. So far I figure I have worked 44 hours since I picked up the three stores. Since Thursday. I am trying to figure out a way to get tomorrow off right now and it just doesn’t look real likely. I may just arrange to get a cook in there and take care of the drawer changes but come home in between.

When I did get home last night the wife ran me a hot bath to soak in which was nice, and the four year old decided to come in an serenade me with songs on her electronic piano. She kept that up for quite awhile, which was very cute. Something about Santa and I love you…

I’ve been remiss the last couple of days in posting. I can always tell because since I only keep a few days on the main page my sidebar is getting longer than the actual content. Oh well, it’s not that I don’t love you or anything. It’s not you at all, it’s me…
