So…
I ended up getting someone to cover my shift tonight so I could stay an extra day with mom and dad (well, mom mostly but dad came back last night so that’s why I stayed an extra day). That also meant losing precious hours.
But, I had a really good time. Cried on the way back. Missing my mom and Evie already. I’m glad I was able to see them and that Cori was able to come with me, but I hate being 520 miles away from them. Especially my mom. I love her to death. She bought me all this crap because she knows Cori and I don’t have money to spend on Christmas, so we’re not getting anything for each other. She bought me Naked on the Run from Urban Decay (a makeup palette), food, Christmas stuff (towels, an apron, a light-up lantern, garland, candles…), pillows, a stick-on light for the pantry, toiletries, etc… She also bought Cori some sleep pants and bought me a couple new shirts and a jacket and pair of snow boots (my others were torn apart and a decade old).
She’s completely different this time than she was last year, regarding her knee replacement. She could barely walk last year (we are sure her left knee replacement was botched last November) but she had her other knee replaced in mid-October and she was keeping up with me and not limping at all ! Totally different. Now I’m convinced the doctor who did her first knee had little idea of what he was doing.
As for having an extra day, I didn’t exchange shifts because I felt someone was more likely to cover it if they got extra hours. Then, on the way back, I get an email on my phone while we were gassing up near Wheeling saying they cut my ONLY shift next week. That also put me in tears. I do work tomorrow, but I want to ask if it’s simply they aren’t busy enough or did I do something wrong, or was it because I had someone cover my shift today ?
Besides that, we had two seasonal people quit because in the last 2 weeks, each of them only got 4 hours of work. One of them gave me her shift, so at least I have that on the 21st (if it’s not cut before then).
I don’t know. I love Sephora but… 4 hours a week ? If I’m lucky ? It’s hardly worth the gas. I remember when Wendy kept cutting our hours at 7FAM and how I was mad about 12 hours a week. WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE FOR 12 HOURS A WEEK.
It’s funny how things just get worse and make you wish for when they were “better,” even though they were still awful.
And I am so happy I got to see my mom and dad and Evie, and meet the two cats she’s been feeding (and might bring in). But it almost made me all sad all over again.
