I was having a pretty bad day yesterday.
I was trying to be fabulous so I got all prettied up and wore my heeled boots to work.
This was pretty much a big mistake.
My feet started hurting after 2 hours. My hair fell flat. My contacts screwed up which smeared and teared my makeup.
To top it off I didn't have a single customer other than bill payments and questions and rude people. My stomach was hurting so I went home a little early.
I got bitched at for it. Said if anyone leaves early on a Friday or Saturday ever again we're automatically fired. But leaving early was the one thing that was good all day.
When I got home I got a phone call from my mother. She'd told me on Tuesday that she was having an MRI becuz she was feeling dizzy. She wasn't supposed to get the results til her next doctor's visit. She called last night and told me they found she has a non cancerous but fairly large brain tumor. I stayed on the phone with her awhile...just talking of certain things. I was trying to pretend that I wasn't crying. She goes to the Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday to find out what will happen. I can only assume some type of surgery. If that is the case, I will be there when it happens.
The bitch out was going on through text messages while I was still on the phone. I got them all after I was off...and telling my manager that 'I know you said no excuses but I just found out my mom has a brain tumor and I'd rather not cry in front of customers' made me cry the most. I was pretty much forgiven instantly but he said to just call and tell him should anything like that happen again.
I'm so glad I left. I just know I would have broke down at work if I was there when she called. I wouldn't have been able to drive home or anything. Worse yet I probably would have bitched some stupid customer out for trying to get me to let them pay their bill or something equally stupid. I feel bad for Dave cuz I guess he got slammed that last hour. I'm just glad I left.
In other news...Evan won a bike. I can't wait to ride it around. I haven't had a bike in ages.
