Fuck the holidays...
8 months ago
Working alone doing the work of 2-3 guys for an entire week during the Christmas holiday while overwhelmed with grief over a lost pet is really eating away at my soul...
For context: my cat disappeared right on the first snow of the season on Saturday afternoon/evening... As far as I'm concerned, the snow/winter cold has already killed him so I don't have any hope of him returning...
At the same time, one of the workers at my job left because he found another job; Friday was his last day. Meanwhile my boss, the only other worker, is on vacation until January 2nd. He had it planned for months and didn't expect the other guy to leave just before that. So I'm pretty much holding the fort by myself doing extra work...
My boss arranged for me to have help for Tuesday and Friday from someone in the interior maintenance department (those days are when we water the amusement park and we absolutely need two guys to do that since there's so many plants) but so far my help hasn't shown up yet...
I'm getting double pay on Christmas Day but it just doesn't feel worth it...

Do something good for yourself when you get a chance. I hope your kitty shows up. And happy solstice anyway.
