Re: Hate Thread
I hated last week, and I'm going to hate this weekend.
Last Week: I returned from my brother's wedding (that was awesome), but to get up to Tallahassee I had to switch days with another coworker. That meant I'd have to work six days straight. That didn't bother me, but the night before I'd finally get my rest my boss called and said he blew out his knee or something. He needed someone to fill his spot so he could go to the hospital, and that was me. So that meant I'd finish my shift, go home, sleep for four hours, then wake up to go back to work at 5:00 am. That just sucked the life right out of me, and I'm still kinda tired.
This Weekend: It's Halloween. Normally I love this time of year. But the community I guard loves it even more. They call in people from all over Florida to come visit, and people that have no business being in the community try to sneak in just to grab some of the rich people's candy. It gets too busy. Last year I manned the gate all by my lonesome, and the only time I got any kind of relief was when the person who was supposed to drive around in the patrol car arrived and called the office for backup. I was so busy I couldn't stop and make the call myself without having a million people honking at me.

tldr version:
Worked too much last week, and Halloween's gonna be a bitch.
