So today is Christmas. Had the big Bryant Family Reunion last night. A tradition that still endures after Grandma Bryant’s passing. The gift exchange was White Elephant Style, and I brought an extra one just in case. It wasn’t needed. Lots of fun, good food, and I ended up giving my uncle a Klingon dictionary.
So this morning, I gave my brother 2 variations of Uno, and a Target gift card (that was actually the spare present I brought last night). This afternoon, we’re going to my sisters where bread is being shoved up a Turkey’s ass (it will be my first Gravy Volcano in years), and a secret Santa (I drew my older Sister, and she didn’t give me her list, so she gets what she gets).
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve written here. Yes, my cyber Monday purchase arrived, and I installed. And since it was replacing the system root drive, I had reinstall everything. And then life happened…. And in a couple of weeks, I’ll have to do it again, because SSDs were still on sale at Newegg. And I’m a fool.
Monday is normally my day off. I took PTO for Christmas Eve at work (overnights don’t work owing to being closed on Christmas Day). So I didn’t think anything about it when I wasn’t scheduled today (again this being my normal day off). Anyway, I found out right when I was leaving work yesterday that notwithstanding Monday night being my normal night off, and not being scheduled that night (I even screencapped my schedule), I was still expected to come in and work (apparently they couldn’t schedule me because I took PTO the day before, which they had to approve). And nobody communicated it to me until the very last minute. An email to manager later, and I was explicitly told not to come in tonight. I’m sure there will be an attempt at repercussions (retaliation does happen on a routine basis)…
