Perpetual Ruminations

Friday

Well hey, I got this entry in on time. I'm not sure how much I will get, but it's on time. I have/have not got to work today. Yes, I said that right, I have to work today if it's busy, but if it's not busy, I have not got to work today. I have to call in to see, you see. the problem lies in who is working the Front Office today.

If it's either of the guys, I will get an answer and that's that. But if it's the woman, I will not find out anything, she does not seem to want to make a managerial decision either way. This was kind of discussed on Wednesday, but in a different light so that it would not sound like indecision. See, the Front Office does not always know how busy we are, so we are to make the call if we stay or go. Of course, we check in with them first, but it's us who determine if it's busy enough to need two guards or not.

But, if we are not working yet, we do not know how busy it is. Therefore, we are to call in to see if we are needed or not. But, the woman I mentioned does not know for sure and will not want to make a call one way or the other, because it could be wrong and then she would be responsible.

So, it comes down to us again. I will call and very likely not find out anything. I will ask if it's busy and probably not get an accurate answer, and then I will have to determine if I should or should not go in. But, that's the way it's set, so I will call and make the best decision I can based on what I find out. I'm hoping it's a day off.

If it is, I may be back later.

It was not a day off, but I didn't have to go in till about one this afternoon. It had gotten busy, but by the time I got there, it was slow again and I could have just as well stayed home. Oh well, the check will be nice, anyway. It's kind of nice getting done early enough in the afternoon to do something, too. I didn't, but it's early enough I could have.

I can't say I didn't do anything, I did. But, it was not fun stuff or my stuff, it was work stuff. I didn't get home till almost six-thirty, and then had to work on some stuff for work. Then Tiny called, so I had to make an inquiry for her, and now I'm finally about done with that stuff. At least for the night. tomorrow, who knows? I should, speaking of work, get my time-clock set up so I can log my hours I spend working from home.

I will go do that, and then do something more. Perhaps my headache will be gone by then. Damn the caffeine; I didn't have any coffee all afternoon, and now my head feels twice as big inside as it is outside.
