I'm sitting here, listening to the growing of loads of motorbikes pulling into the motel next door - sounds awesome.
We use to have a Harley Davidson bike shop few minutes down the road and often you'd hear the growl of them - they have moved now sadly - my boys use to enjoy going in the shop for a look.
Management at my job is shitty at best. There's a huge language barrier between me and my department manager because I don't speak Spanish and the other day we were discussing me coming in for a few hours on Thanksgiving and she was trying to talk me into coming in from 4:30PM to 10:30PM when I'm scheduled for 7AM the next day.
I told her no.
However, I'm willing to come in from 4:30-8:30 to provide some level of assistance.
So we agreed on that, verbally.
Tonight she texts me to pick up the shift for that day and it's from 4:30 to 10:30
I'm not fucking picking that up. No. That isn't what we agreed on.
UGH
I'm gonna start recording our conversations I swear.
Arrr! Only th' Devil an' I know th' where'bouts o' me treasure, an' th' one o' us who lives th' longes' should take i' all.
- hopefully you'll be able to bring it up and get that sorted with something relatively simple.
I'd just be like: "Look, I am only able to cover 4:30 to 8:30 like we verbally discussed. I'm sorry I am unable to stay past 8:30." but I get that sometimes managers aren't always that easy to deal with.

Food scientists have finally managed to remove the mint flavor from gum! The ex-spearmint was a success!
It's very frustrating, for sure. I hope it's easily sorted but until it is, I'm not picking up a shift for longer than I agreed because then I'll look like a dick for leaving earlier than technically scheduled.
So far, from what I know of her as a manager, it doesn't look like I'll be going in at all that day lol

Anyway, I swear you were a forum mod spearmint30? Am I misremembering things or have you been stood down?
