Wasabi?

Mar 30, 2004 19:19

Why am I so bad at saying no?

Amy, can you work tomorrow?

Yes. I mean no. I mean, only until 2 o'clock.

I wish my brain would function more often than it does.

Oh I always do that! It's terrible and you feel bitter and resentment at the person who dropped a shift, so they call you instead and you freeze and um and ah and pretend to flick through an imaginary diary of events, and you can't justify saying no by telling them you have sleep to do, so you say yes and then they think "oh she is super reliable" so they call you every oher time, and it's a sick sick cycle. Casual work is the devil, money our only saviour.

Oh, I know. They ALWAYS ask me. They know I don't say no. (And don't have life). And sometimes I do have things to do, like, an assignment or something, but I feel dodgy coming up with excuses even when they're true!

Just say "No I can't"

Then when they say: "why not?"

You hang up.

*happy*

And get fired...

Get fired for refusing to do other peoples shifts? That just dumb. And they have no right to keep hassling you after you've said no anyway. So therefore, in my world, they get the clink.

Haha, I wouldn't get fired for not working, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be too impressed if I just hung up when they asked me if I could.

At least you don't get 4 hrs a week, and when you ask for more they say, 'LOOK, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKING FOR MORE SHIFTS, GO AWAY'.

Yeah, mine's the total opposite. So fucking short of staff. Btw, when are you going to Byron? Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon?

Ditch the wasabi for a few hours & make a beeline for my joint. You see, I refuse to write in my LJ until it looks worth of my verbal shite. Mrs. Multimedia, I need your help, and I will fish a few loose coins out of my fake pocket if you aquiesce. No excuses, no clinking.

Wanker head. I'll call you.
