Well, I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that my boss, for the first time in probably three months, made the schedule a whole day early -- before I could write on the calendar that I wanted off. He signed me up for my usual 8-5 stint on Sunday. I told him I needed most of Sunday off, and when he found out why, his initial response was "Too bad." My response was, "That's okay, I'll just get Jake to work for me." (Nobody likes Jake. Like, at all.) This threat was quickly rewarded by my boss saying, "No, don't do that! What time do you need off?" I told him noon and he said he'd come up with something. My job is so messed up, but I kind of like it that way. You know, maybe Jake isn't so bad after all... :)
