They say you can make plans all day long and all God does is laugh at them. It's true.
This is my third year in college. When I started school I decided not to come home for the first summer which was unlike anything any of my siblings had done. I did it because I had just gotten promoted at work and didn't want to take advantage of that by leaving them for three months and then coming back. And now I'm back in the same situation..sort of.
I recently got hired at a new job about two weeks prior to thanksgiving break. One of the first things they asked me was, "Are you going to be in town for the holidays?" Of course, you don't want to walk into a brand new job by asking for a week off two weeks after starting?? So naturally, I said yes. One of the reasons I said yes was because I hadn't requested off for that break at my other job either so I planned to be around. They also offered to pay me time and a half for the holidays and since I was going to be in town anyway, I figured why not??
In my head I figured I would work thanksgiving, maybe black Friday and another day or two that week. I was VERY wrong.
It is Wednesday, November 18th as I'm writing this. Starting tomorrow, November 19 until November 30, I am working every day at either one or both of my job locations. I just found that out today as I was looking at my schedule and I was not prepared for that. I'm hoping it will not be too bad and I know the pay off will be worth it but holy SHIT I wasn't ready to be working that much LOL. I planned in my head to work a few of the days that week but not 12 days in a row, 73 hours all together?! Please pray for me lol.
