My boss April is the bomb.
The other night I got stranded at work doing time on this set up we call the bridge. Essentially, when you go to the bridge you don't have time to piss, shit or breathe. It's a phone and computer that is set up to receive incoming questions from the staff who are taking orders over the phone. Now most days, a supervisor like myself will spend about 3 1/2 hours manning the bridge. When I work 3- Midnight, I get to ride the bridge from 8 PM to close since no one else is there after 8 PM. On Monday, my 7th day in a row of work, a scheduling snafu caused me to get on the bridge at 5 PM and man it until Midnight. Ugh. It's a horrible fate.
Anyway, for being the good soldier, the aforementioned April is allowing me to begin my long weekend early by allowing me to work tomorrow from 11 AM to 4 PM. How cool is that? And then on Tuesday, instead of returning to work, I am actually attending a conference in Philly with April about Call Center shizzle. (I got a postcard about this conference and approached her about attending and she decided to join me....probably because she can just sense that I am a good time...) So essentially as of 4 PM tomorrow, I have no work until next Wednesday which is super. Did I mention that Tuesday night post the conference I have David Sedaris at the Kimmell Center? Looks like the sun might actually come out on me this weekend.
