Gifts to myself

I'm, uh, well, quitting my job tomorrow. By quitting I mean telling my bosses that I need to get moved to days/cannot work nights any longer, period. When I called to make the 'appointment' to see one or both of them, I was told:

"Tell me what you want to talk about so we know what's up."

So I did--my schedule.

"What? You don't want to work graveyard any more? I thought you were a tough guy!"

Uhm, yeah. I thought I could do it, thought it would get easier, but it hasn't. It's killing me slowly. I know you guys are in a tough spot right now, I mean, with me being the only person on the shift, so I just thought we could start a------

"Ok, well, we will see you tomorrow at the bakery. If you're going to be staying on with us we can discuss your rate of pay."

Uh, again, I mostly just want to start a dialogue about all this so we can come to a conclusion that we're all comfortable with. I know that you told me that if there was ever a prob---

"Tomorrow, then." *Click*

That's nearly verbatim what was said.

I know my bosses and their reputations well enough to know that one of the following is going to take place.

1)They will tell me that since I have a 'bad attitude' and am not a 'team player', they no longer need my services. Fired.

2)They will try to manipulate me into staying my dangling money in front of me.

3)They will accept my statement of "Days or I quit by this date", then do nothing but make my life a living hell until that date, when I will quit.

They filled the daytime position. LIED to me. Yeah....I don't want to work for people like this.

Due to this meeting? I'm working a 13-14 hour day tomorrow. Rockin'.

**************************************************

So today (Yesterday, now) was my birthday. My mom forgot how old I am, but still sent a card, so I guess that counts for something.

Went to my cousin's gallery closing gala thing, which was pretty damn neat. His new stuff is awesome.

Uhm....I slept a lot? Took a gigantic nap when I got home? Am forcing myself to stay awake now since I have such a shitty schedule tomorrow? Sigh.

Watch.



Makes me think of cock rings performed this way, rather than wedding rings, which is what was intended. (Sorry, conservative members of my reading audience.)



This made my flipping day.

Wish me luck tomorrow. I just have to remember--no matter the outcome, only good things can come from this. Even if things do REALLY suck for a little while.
