Blurrrrgh...

I scheduled this coming Saturday off from the answering service last month and now, because they don't look at their own bloody scheduling calendar, they're all bent out of shape at me because I'm not coming to work.

I swear, I'm so tempted to aim high for Extreme Poverty and tell them to shove their hell job.

Either way, there's no chance I'm going to miss out on seeing Dave Matthews for free just so I can go in and listen to mush-mouthed men and whiny women complain about their pathetic existence because they didn't have sense to call their doctor/apartment manager/plumber/exterminator during REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS.

A pox on everyone's house.

Make them fire you

[debrafortune.livejournal.com]

If you resolve that the job is something you can do with out - do NOT quit.

Make them fire you.

Start treating it like a job you can do without - and stop being miserable. Either they'll start writing you up - and you can reevaluate your position - or they wont, and you'll be able to get unemployment because they didn't address the "problems" with your performance and give you a chance to correct them... If they wish to avaoid paying you unemployment, there is somewhat of a burden on them to afford you ample time to correct shortcomings, ESPECIALLY if you've bene there a long time. If you quit - you won't get unemployment anyway. You hedge your bets a little by making them fire you.

Well, I wouldn't get unemployment anyway as this is my secondary part-time job and, to be honest, I haven't the Will nor the inclination to try to make them fire me. The fewer Redneck idiots I have to talk to from now on, the better.
Thanks for the advice though. I'd definitely take it if this were my primary job.
