I'm so grateful.
Today my grandma is having an Easter dinner. The entire family is coming (and we have a huuuge family). I was excited, happy, couldn't wait. Got dressed, started to play some EarthBound to pass the time... then at 4:10 I got a call. From a co-worker.
He asked me why wasn't I at work yet. I told him I wasn't working today. He said yes I was. So I decided to go there and check it out. It turns out I was working; that I mischecked the schedule and thought I was working on Monday, not Sunday. My plans, my excitement, all died instantly. I started to cry a little.
It wasn't the first time I got screwed over on working on a holiday. I missed the family reunion dinner at both the night before Christmas and on New Years. But at least I knew I worked on those days, and I wouldn't have mind so much if I knew if I was working today. However, I didn't, and I was pissed off at myself from reading the schedule wrong. I was going to miss my family members AGAIN AND I wasn't going to have supper with them.
My boss could tell that I was depressed. She called other people for me to see if they could work for me. None of them did, and I knew they were going to refuse. Nobody has ever worked for me; I work for them all the time but they never work for me.
Work wasn't really affected from my depression, but my co-worker (who's working at the cashier) couldn't stand me being depressed. Another co-worker of mine (who also works the cashiers) walked in and started talking to the co-worker who was working. Then, out of no where, she asked if she (the one who wasn't working) wanted to work for me.
I was surprised, I'm a gas jockey, she works the cashier. She couldn't do my job. I told her that I shouldn't get special treatment. She told me she could work for me. After a bit of thinking, I asked if I could hug her. We hugged, and I cried. I was so grateful, I didn't know what to say. She told me she could do everything except for the dip charts, and I told her I could do it right now for her.
I did it, she took my jacket and smiled. I said "Thank you" to her a couple times and she said "Don't mention it."
So I got to my grandma's house just in time. We had dinner, and I talked to some cousins for a while... I had fun time. And all I could think about it how to make up for it to my co-worker. If she hadn't walked in at that time and started talking to my other co-worker... well, I wouldn't have had a fun time. I'm very grateful to her right now.

Got a sore throat the night before Easter.
Was feverish and headache-y with said sore throat all day yesterday (though a delicious dinner helped the throat).
Sore throat and still slightly elevated temperature today.
Also, I'm looking for new work.
I work in food, right, and I called off on a day that I had severe stomach cramps, and she made me come in anyway because "everyone" had them, and I was "the only" person she had to work those hours.
I really despise being so low on the ladder. I get more hours when no-one wants to work, but I'm almost always the one cut when it's slow. I guess it balances out, but it would be nice if they actually told me the day before when they want me to work at 9:30 on a day I'm scheduled for twelve (especially considering that I'd seen the schedule the week before and it had said that I was off that day).
That was the same day as the stomach cramps at that.
Busy, sicky Penguin is busy and sicky.

He was feeling horrible because he lost his girlfriend, and we eventually made a deal that if I were to get him and her back together, he would buy me a Wii, we made the deal at a CIBC bank, where he was depositing about $400, so he definitely has the cash >.>
I got her to come around and give him a chance, he didn't expect me to do so because he was an ass to her before, and he should have expected me to win the deal, especially since everyone calls me TheJesus since I preform various miracles, and other things based on extremely dumb luck.
So he said he'd get me it, without hesitation. The next day "i aint givin u it" is pretty much what he said.
He's a douche >: (
