Who here likes beer?

Hey Sinful
Sorry...me no likie

 

[Downtownjeffbrown]

I do.... I wish we could have a tap at my house of Landshark and Killians Irish Red

 

[Shadav]

meh I'm ok....
my grandmother (who's already in a nursing home) fell and broke her pelvis and they can't fix it so now she's completely bed ridden....her health's not that great and she's been battling pneumonia for a while, she just can't seem to get rid of it...one of her lungs is already almost completely collapsed....anyways so the docs suggested everyone to come say their goodbyes while they can cuz they doubt she's got much time, that the pneumonia will probably kill her before anything else does

I haven't told my kids yet, cuz don't want them upset.....
but of course I can't get any person to come cover for me at work so I can go and see her.....all I ask for is tomorrow from noon to 4pm and not one person in my market will reply to my request for help.....after 8 years of me helping everyone (even if it meant I had to work double or triple or split shifts between my store and theirs....) no one will help me out.....told my district manager that I don't care, if I get that phone call to come right now, I'm out the door no matter what....which of course he said he understands...i'm so over this company....wish I could find another job...

 

[Downtownjeffbrown]

Wow Shadav I'm sorry to hear that

((((((((((HUGS)))))))))
So sorry to hear about your grandmother Shadav. I know that has to be tough. It doesn't matter how old they are. It doesn't make it any easier. I'll be praying for her & your family.

I wish I could say I was surprised about your coworkers but most people are like that until they need YOU to do something for THEM. Smh! I hope you're bake to make it work so that you can visit with her.

 

[Shadav]

i know that everyone is hurting for employees.....but still...4 hours? overtime approved? no one at all? not even a reply to say, sorry but can't help....

I just hate it cuz...my grandmother is one person that actually gave a damn about me....her and my aunt are really about the only 2 family members that I care about cuz they always tried to be there for me and help me if and when they could when I was a kid/teen....when I finally had enough money and got my first apt on my own they showed up with 3 or 4 cars filled with supplies and food.....

anyways..sorry rant over...was trying not to post...but....can't rant on fb cuz my daughter is there and coworkers as well.....

Rant all you want sweetie. It's ok. Just wish there was some way to help.
I agree. The least they could do is respond back
When will you be able to see her if you can't go tomorrow?

 

[Robino1]

{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Shad }}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry

 

[Shadav]

I don't think I have any days off next week...
i was kinda pissy when I left work and told one of my coworkers that, well hopefully she doesn't die anytime between now and next week....
he looked at me and was like, don't say that...I just shrugged and was like, well...I can't get any time off so, what am I supposed to do...cuz if i get that phone call i'm out the door I don't care....
I felt kinda bad cuz he would cover for me if he could but he's already working tomorrow night....

of course my boss is on vacation again and the other ast mngr well i'm off at two tomorrow and i'm leaving no matter what! Why don't you just go before you come into work?
So I'm supposed to go visit with my grandmother on her death bed (lets face it, that's where she's at now) with my two kids, first thing in the morning....rush them out of there, drop them off at home and go to work by noon and act like everything is fine..... Kya will be devastated when I tell her and she will not want to leave my grandmothers side....and I won't be in the mood to be at work, it was bad enough being there today.

 

[daleron]

So sorry to hear your bad new's Shad {{{hugs}}}

Don't have a clue what else to say

 

[Shadav]

thanks everyone {{hugs}}

sorry, I know...seems like lately it's been nothing but drama with me....

anyways time to get Avery off to bed.....see ya'll later

and thanks...hoping my grandmother will pull through but honestly....I don't see that happening esp now with her being bed ridden...they can't repair her pelvis so she can't walk and really it's just been her sheer stubbornness that's kept her going thus far....but now I fear it's gonna be a quick downhill if she can't get out of her bed she is not one to rely on others, even in her diminished state of mind/health she was still very much independant.....all I can hope for now is a fairly painless passing.

anyways....gonna get Avery to bed, she's beyond tired...and gonna hopefully try to sleep myself. night

None! I'm so sorry. You really do have the right to be pissy. I'm pretty ...... for you.
I'd leave as soon as my shift officially ended too if I were you.
I'll be praying that you're able to visit soon.
Are you atleast able to call & talk with her to let her know you're trying to get there? I'm sure she knows you want to be there.

Shad, I'm so sorry, so very sorry. I will keep you and your grandmother in my prayers. And I'll pray God's conviction on the others so that someone will step up and allow you to see her.

I'm fair hon, I understand you have a bad weekend coming up?

 

[Chimney34]

I'm fair hon, I understand you have a bad weekend coming up?

Ugggh! It's not going to be fun at all but we'll get through it.
We're just really irritated because we knew this was coming but we'd been asking for the date for weeks & our DM went on vacation without giving us the date or any of the info we needed. We just happened to start sending emails on Monday so that we could start planning it out & we find out then that it's Sunday But what can you do, so we just have to roll with it & get it done. It'll prob take 2 nights so we'll probably be there again next Sunday too.

I'm sorry hon, would it really have made that much difference if you had known ahead of time tho'?

Oh, scheduling huh?
