Where do I start today?

I think I'l first whine about work for a little bit, because that's what most people do. Repeating theme. It must be the ego needing to feed some more.

I'll get the days off that I need and I'll fell somewhat better when it is all said and done. But I cannot help but feel somewhat taken advantage off. Let me break it down.

~I typically work mornings now.  We were needed a breakfast cook 'cause Carl left around Mothers day. So I said, "Ok, that's cool I'll cover it for the time being." I like being accomodating of my employer.

~I thought this would be temporary. Also, I was under the impression that I would be working more than 25hr/week. This is not cool as that leaves me making roughly $400 in two weeks.  No way can I spend $260 on gas a month, spend $220 on insurance and get more than $300 in the bank. Which, I spend most of on gas anyway 'cause it is so damned expensive.

~Evening shift (what I was on before) is 7-8 hours long. Morning is 4-5.

~I don't like getting up at 6:30am every day. Sorry, I don't drink coffee. I can operate for two weeks straight on 7 hours of sleep a night, but my performance lags, I get temperamental. That reflects badly both on my employers and myself. 

~Having only 3 days off in the course of 3 weeks isn't very cool. Especially when I only had two days off previously, 2 weeks prior. 

What I'm getting at here is I don't feel that working 25 hours a week is worth the price of my sleep and eventual good will towards my employers. They're somewhat accomoidating of my desires while I am extremely accomodating of theirs. if I ask for days off, I usually get them. But it's stupid that I have to ask for days off. They should be scheduled, and the schedule should be in paper not just some phantom things that is made inaccurately to appease Amy the Office God's sense of duty.  Not only that, but hire a decent dishwasher who is trainable, has their own transportation, and won't call in sick every other weekend. That's happened far to much and I pay the price. I get paid for my time, yes; but I shouldn't have to cover for someone else's ass if they won't cover for mine. Then I get shit for asking for days off.
