Well today was a really shit tastic day...

I woke up this morning to a call I never wanted to hear, my dad called from the hospital my grandfather was at telling me that he died, not a good way to wake up in the morning, and really shitty news to boot.

So the next thing I do is call my area manager and tell him that I won't be at work Friday and Saturday because I'll be attending my grandfathers funeral. He said he was sorry to hear the news, but if I wanted to miss my shifts, I had to find my own coverage and if I didn't, I would have to be there. Well, the eager bitch in me came out and told him flat out, I can't because I have things to take care of and stuff to do to help my father out, and I will not be there because I will be in another state attending the funeral of my grandfather. He said okay sorry for your loss and hung up.

At that point I was in shock about how callous he was with this so it took me awhile to write an email to my HR person informing her that I will no longer work for a company that doesn't allow one of their employees to attend a funeral unless they find coverage and that I quit, don't expect me to come back.

Yea I'll probably get a call monday morning asking me to wait, think about it, so when I'm not so irate at the garage, we'll see.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna go and get ready. I leave tomorrow to go to PA where my grandfather is and we'll go from there.
