My hope of getting Saturdays off, is waning. And I blame the flu, or at least people who are claiming to have the flu. One of my coworkers called in sick for the third straight day today. Plus, two of the cashiers have been absent due to sickness parts of this week. This means that the guy whose hours were cut has been called in for three straight days. He can't work my Saturdays if the other knuckleheads keep calling in sick. Having been both a boss and the victim of bad bossing, I know something about the thinking of your average boss. My boss is thinking, "Why shouldn't I schedule a guy who shows up every day, rain or shine?" I blessed with good health and the inability to call in sick when I'm not. It sucks to be the responsible one. Just saying. Speaking of the flu, I'm seeing a few customers who are worried that I might make them sick. Not so worried that they stay home, mind you, but worried enough to ask me about the state of my health. For example, I was making a key yesterday, when a woman asked me if I was sick? I replied, "No, are you?" She went on to say that I looked a bit sick and with the H1N1R2D2 flu going around, you never know. I'm still not sure what her clues about my health were, but I diagnosed her with just a touch of insanity. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true.
