I feel like a bloody ass now. I had to work today, noon to 5pm. On one hand, I really didn't want to because my legs are STILL killing me from yesterday (8 hours on my feet lifting heavy shit), but I still wanted to go...I need the money, and I hate making a bad impression on people. I'm diligent, I want to work...I swear, I'm not just "playing hooky" or anything like that...
I could've had mom drive me to work, but that'd have put me there around 7am, some 5 hours before my shift starts, and Wally World really, really hates overtime. However, I thought I'd have transport from my grandmother today, so I could get some extra rest, and get to work on time and not have to wait around looking like a jackass. Well, I called her, annnnnd...she had a vet appointment -right- at the time I needed to be at work. She's been waiting for this all week, and I couldn't bring myself to have her delay or reschedule it just because of me...
My uncle Reggie is gone on a hunting trip, dunno when he'll be back...my uncle Jay's already been at work for some time, and can't take much of a break, assuming he's not in some city many hours away doing a service call. Even the neighbor I used a few days ago wasn't home, and wouldn't be in time to get me to work on time.
So...I called in absent, explained my situation to one of my numerous superiors, and I'm here feeling like an idiot. Ugh.
