I wasn’t planning on blogging today, well at least not yet, but I felt inspired so I’m gonna roll with it. I am in a spirit of gratitude right now. As I mentioned in my last post, and if you’re aware of what’s going on weather wise, you know that the East Coast is basically covered in snow. Therefore I get to enjoy the rare Monday off!!! Because daycare is closed, not because my job is closed, no never that, it would have to be like a natural disaster for that to happen. Even though they made employees risk their lives to get to work today…well let me digress…
I’m very thankful because back in June when my son was out of daycare for an entire week because of a virus, I had to take that whole week off. That really screwed my available time to use for the rest of the year. My supervisor emailed me back then and said I had to take out a lot of my scheduled days off bc I didn’t have a lot of time available. Well I think my sup meant to send it to another agent because for the past few months, I’ve actually been rather pissed by the fact that, I wasn’t out of time like she said. In fact, I had enough to take a few days off. But because of the nature of my work, you can’t just take time off like that. Or if you do, you get penalized on your bonus. So since summer, I have been working and working and working. With my only time being off on the weekends, and with two kids, that’s not really time off either.
Why I’m so thankful is because today, my job opened on a 2 hour delay. And unless you had the vacation time available, that you were required to report to work. Thanks to the whole issue of me and my time, I have enough to cover being out today. This is the last week of the year and so many employees don’t have any time left, or if they do it’s like an hour or so. I’m so blessed and happy that I don’t have to try to risk my car, my life trying to get to and from work to talk to a bunch of ignorant customers who call and talk to me like I’m not worth ish. So I’m in a great mood today! Even better, it doesn’t count against me because it weather related so I’m all smiles. The only thing that would make me smile more right now is if I could teleport to Target to get my camera! lol Trust me, if I’m not gonna drive to work I’m not trying to drive anywhere. But we’ll see how the roads look mid-afternoon…they should be fine as the temps rise. For now I’m about to get ready to enjoy another day of snow play with the kids! It’s memories like this that are immeasurable. That and the fact that Brianna was so ecstatic this morning that mommy didn’t have to go to work today! In her eyes, mommy works all of the time and being able to play in the snow with my babies is absolutely priceless.
