A working weekend for me

Due to illness of another employee at the store where I work, my five hour shift turned into seven hours yesterday, all but about twenty minutes on my feet. Today, I am scheduled for five hours, but that same ill employee is scheduled too, so who knows?
Tomorrow, the store hours are 11 to 4, so that day will be five hours for sure. I am not scheduled for a few days next week so can rest and catch up on myLot too.

@JamesHxstatic ....Oh, I thought, for some reason, that you worked in a pet store. Silly me.

@marlina I have been home for most of the week since last Sunday, now all the work comes at once.

I retired five years ago, but took this part-time job about a year ago in the bird seed and feeder store, usually just ten or fifteen hours a week. This weekend is a bit concentrated it seems, with 17 hours.

I'm stuck working all weekend too. The guy that works under me that usually covers weekends had to have the weekend off to attend a wedding in his family. It's been a busy couple of days for me!

@JamesHxstatic My "break" was going to be this evening, sitting in front of the tv at home watching the Florida Gators football game. Except that they're showing the game on ESPNU, which is a station I don't get! lol

They get pretty tired but are okay after an hour or so of rest.

@JamesHxstatic It might be easier to be getting your exercise through your job than having to go the gym or whatever.

You are lucky james at least you people can engage yourself even after retirement in your country. But here in our country it is tough as you know , I think.

That I will. Anne has a two day conference mid-week and it will be very quiet here.
