Oh, Fuck

I was supposed to work yesterday from noon - 4pm. It's an irregular thing that we rotate among ourselves. I totally blanked yesterday. Hell, I kept thinking it was Saturday, because we're closed today and that threw me off schedule.

But no one called to ask why I wasn't in. So, hopefully, it was quiet. *crosses fingers*

D: I hate it when that happens. *hugs*

I just don't get why no one called to see where the hell I was. I mean, I know it happens from time to time, but, really, you'd think they'd give you a call. Hell, I was home most of the day and had my cell when I wasn't. If they'd called and I'd missed it, I would feel worse, but as it is, embarrassed is my main emotion.

Ayup. It's possible that in this economy, they're simply grateful not to have to pay out the hours, if it wasn't busy enough.

I worked the morning shift at a tv station once. That meant getting up at 3 am and getting in at either 3:30 or, on the weekends, 4. I either didn't set my alarm once or went to snooze and turned it off accidentally and got the "Where are you?" call. They told me everyone does it, but you only get one freebie.

Mornings and I, we just don't get along. ;)
