Its my bday today... (insert random cheering and/or indifference from the CS crowd) and my boss booked me to work 3-7. (insert booing and or cheers depending on your thoughts.)
This is all well and good I suppose... ( I can't really start drinking til after 7, I'm not Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas.) Except of a few things... People always seem to be extra rotten during the 3-7 shift and I'm going to have a shorter fuse because it's my birthday. Call it a preconceived "Well it's my birthday dammit... Can't you people behave for one goddamned day?" LOL
I mean technically I suppose you could call the shift a good thing, cuz my boss said she was going to give me more hours because my sales were higher than others and she needed me in the store to fix the average. In other words, they're doing for her store what they should've done for mine and give me a staff who actually helps offset the deficit instead of expecting me to carry the entire studio average by myself. Which is why I got burnt out in the first place and even partly why I stopped posting on CS...
It's all well and good to post about the random crap that happens. But when it started coming from all sides, it was beyond posting random anecdotes and just about survival and keeping my head above the shit.
Maybe if they'd done that, I wouldn't have quit like I did. I just hope that this doesn't backfire on me and they expect me to carry this entire studio.
If you see me on the news, running screaming past the cameras with a severed head in my hands, you'll know that I've snapped. LOL Wish me luck.

birthday: Sure it sucks to work on your birthday, but on the bright side of it more money for you! Take care of yourself, do something for you and only you here and there and take time off too. Burnouts are no joke.
It would be a paid day off. Not working that day anyway? Then you get day before or after off, still paid.
