Anyone still alive has let me down - History was made today

History was made today
I walked into work today, energy drink in hand, ready to face the day.

My main kitchen manager walks up to me. "Ah, Society." (As in "Menace II," the word "Menace" being one of three words that rhyme with my name, etc.) "You, uh, can go home. Your schedule changes weren't approved by the head managers. So you've been given the night off. And talk to the cooks, get yourself something to eat, the managers will comp it tonight. Least we can do after you walked here."

So.

Here I am. San duties on a Saturday night.

Now HOW to spend it.

Maybe I'll take in that Dark Knight thing tonite...

I just don't know! This has NEVER happened to me, in my 8+ years of being employed, anywhere!

Gadzook!

Dark Knight it! I'm just slackin' around. Might watch a movie myself--it's been raining all day and is supposed to continue, here.

D'oh!
Catching a bus this late on a Saturday to the theater would be difficult, though...especially since I left my schedule back at work!

Right on
I can no longer call myself "the man who closed 15 days in a row," because here, on day 13, I'm at home, typing to you.

And it feels pretty nice. Come tomorrow, I'll even still be on overtime. :)

Re: Right on
Awesome!

There aren't enough relaxing Saturday evenings going around, these days.

hey, that's nice! I always like getting free food, even if it's the result of an inconvenience.

You know? A free chicken sandwich is worth 20 minutes on my feet, especially since I was getting exercise at the same time. :)

Hey, if it were California, they'd be stuck paying you for three hours of work just because you reported for a shift and were sent home.
