One of the policies at work presents a problem with time off.
The supervisor at the marijuana dispensary rarely gives someone the morning off even when they request it.
Jan prefers to make the same schedule every week. If someone wants the morning off, they have to trade or find someone to cover their shift. Overtime is usually allowed at the marijuana dispensary, so I can always find someone to cover my shift. I told Jan that I needed to be off on Thursday night. Jan gave me the same song plus dance that she always does. Jan told me that she could not promise to give me the time off. I told Jan that I was supposed to meet my lady’s parents for dinner. I wasn’t going to miss it. Jan gave me the names of the people that were not stressed to work on Thursday night plus Jan told me to call one of them to cover the shift. I called Jack first. I left a message on her voicemail. I called up Sarah next. She did not answer the PC either. I was on the PC with another woman when Jack finally called me back. I sent Jack to voicemail while I finished talking to Carl, but Carl already had plans for Thursday night plus she could not pick up the shift. Thankfully, Jack was willing to cover my shift. When I called him back on the PC, she said she would happily pick up the fourths for Thursday. She agreed to trade afternoons with me so I would not miss any time, although I wasn’t recognizably anxious about the time. I just needed someone to cover the shift so I could meet up with my future in-laws.
