Just found out that I am supposed to work on Saturday. I'm a student and work catering and we usually do stuff at the stadium, PMAC and stuff for gamedays but I was not expecting to have to work any games other than Troy State. Well I just got my schedule and it has me working on Saturday. I'm friends with the boss so I don't want to just be an ass and quit, but does anybody have suggestions for me??? I mean hell, I'm a college kid. I will have plenty of time for the real world after I graduate. o: o:
It's simple really. Step 1: Call in sick. You will know you are lying, your boss will know you are lying. Will he be able to prove it though? Step 2: Wear an elaborate costume that includes a mask to the game. This will allow you to avoid being seen on national tv you liar!
Just Say "When I got up this morning I took two Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac. I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it." :thumb:
Better, tell him you stopped taking your Prozac and you just got your new 12gauge in for this year's hunting season and you are a little upset about missing the game. Or, just don't show up.
Go to work and give me your ticket. My little brother wants to come to the game, but I only have two tickets and they both belong to my father in-law who I don't think I could convince not to go.
Trust a 23 year old who knows. I thought I could f*** off while in school as a student worker and wait until graduation to take life seriously. It probably cost me a full time HIGH PAYING job in both Computing Services and the ISDS department (I worked both places, left OCS to go work for ISDS, and then proceeded to play more Quake 3 than do actual work), which cost me a year of unemployment after graduation. The most important things to take away from this are: 1) Treat every job as if it could be your career. You never know who will be in a position to put in a good word for you. 2) NEVER BURN ANY BRIDGES. No matter how pissed off or disgruntled you get at a job, make sure you are the only person to know how you feel.
