the only good thing about work last night was it was my last day before having off for two days. i get there and oscar wasn't there. that was ok, he is never on time. then it was 11, then it was 12, then it was 01, then it was 02, then it was bar-rush. i didn't get **shit done** in the back. friday is fish-fry day so there is massive stuff to be setup and done in aide of that going smoothly. mary (my boss) got there at a little after five, comes up on the line with a confused look on her face. the kitchen looks like it just had a tornado ripped through it. she was two second from ripping me apart when she found out oscar didn't show. she went to the back, cursing about this and that. i was scared, i thought i was going to loose my job. hell it might be a truckstop, but its my only source of cash-money. mary came up on the line a few minutes later and sincerely thanked me for my hard work, and then told me she just **fired oscar**. i wanted to scream in joy. oscar was cool and all, but him getting X'd out means that my lover will come back home! i miss brian so dearly. he worked this morning with rich. he was happy to hear the news. mary wants me to work a few hours tonight, but i dont think i will do that. if i didn't work all week, i would consider it, but i just dont feel like it. i should tho, mary hooked me up hardcore. how? well i requested off three days last week so i could go on the m4 vacation that resulted in my engagement to [absolved](http://absolved.livejournal.com/). mary didn't just give me off those three days, and my scheduled two days off, **she paid me for them in vacation time!** why is that nice of her? because i haven't been working there long enough to have vacation time. she hooked it up like that. so i do feel bad for not wanting to come in tonight, but **TRUST ME** that _wont last long at all_. so i got a full paycheck. yippie. now i can pay all my bills and not have any money left over. which is splended compared to what i thought it would be, which was "which bills are SUPER important?" _ "you load sixteen tons, what do you get? another day older and deeper in debt" _
