I decided that, since I had musical practice this entire week, that I would ask off for work the entire week. Well, apparently, I missed several different sales that I will now not be prepared for in the future. Jeesh. You take a week off and suddenly they think that you have moved to Africa and adopted your own family. Nope. Sorry, but if I were to move away and start a family, it would somewhere far away from where Freddy's would ever find me. I asked off for the week because i was busy, not because I didn't want to work (although that may have been in the back of my mind).
Another thing is that I have noticed that my wallet emptied much quicker when I had not worked this week. I have more free time to spend money on things like Monopoly at McDonalds, or porcelain dog figurines, or a paintball gun (all are extremely useful in a time of personal distress). I do not think that I ever noticed what a change work has had on my money supply. Mostly, it just goes into my account and I rarely check up on it, but, now, while it is slowly dwindling away, I am beginning to get worried. Should I be working more? Should I spend less? Will I ever have enough money for college, but then again, who does?
I just do not understand why they would be angry with me for asking off for a week. I know several people who have called in sick when they really are not, so could I just do that? Is it better to promise that I will work and then duck out at the last second or give them a real reason for not being available and have them be prepared? I think that is a pretty easy question (especially with my subtle phrasing).
Also, here's the thing: I asked off for this week and I left pretty much all of next week open and they scheduled me for one five hour shift. It seems to me that if Freddy's wants me to be more involved, they should be giving me more hours! And how am I supposed to make all my money if I don't get any hours?! And how will I possible play McDonalds Monopoly without any money?!?!
