Both my department manager and assistant manager know I'm going away and will be out of work for at least the rest of the month. My manager has known this for a while, my assistant manager less so, but when I asked, neither of them said I had to talk to anyone else or fill out any forms or anything for it.
So this morning while I am asleep, the phone rings. My mother is off bringing my brother back to campus and my father is at work and possibly losing his job today, so I stagger up and answer it.
IT IS WORK!
I need to come in and fill out a form. (And then watch the food safety video, since I'm gonna be there and I need to be re-certified and all. Oh, but I can clock in for the goddamn video no i am not clocking in i am busy LEAVE ME ALONE argh!)
I'm annoyed! I'm annoyed because no one mentioned this earlier! I'm annoyed it has to be done now! I'm annoyed because we don't have a working car here today (Honda's with Dad, Toyota's in New York, van's largely undrivable - the most recent broken thing is the speedometer FUN TIMES) and now I have to try and call my father and convince him to come home early when his work is doing another massive round of layoffs and the last things we need is for him to be cutting out! I'm annoyed (and getting a bit worried) because I've been calling him for the last hour and a half and no one is answering! I am annoyed because I have told them a million times and they have heard from my parents half a million times and THEY ARE PLAINLY AWARE that I am not a morning person so why do they keep calling me at a time when they know I will not be awake?!
AND WHY COULDN'T I HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THIS A LITTLE EARLIER?! I WAS JUST IN THERE SUNDAY, I COULD HAVE PICKED ONE UP THEN ASGDSFDJJKLRGJLK
Edit:
Got into work without dying. Filled out the form and watched the stupid video. Got in contact with my father, who's still got his job for at least another two and a half weeks, and then we'll see again.
