Although I couldn't just call in and say im taking off for my mental health, i have to fucking lie and say im sick. For context, i work at a pizza place, and today tends to be the busiest and shittiest day of the year, and i have worked nonstop for a week and some change and yesterday did 9 hours because manager wanted all dishes done before leaving (the sink was stacked to the brim, usually aloud to leave a little but yesterday was different) and i could think of a few things I'd rather do than drag my ass into work for minimum to get treated badly by drunken new years idiots. Why cant i call in and be honest, “Hey, today is going to be far far too stressful for me and i haven't had off in awhile” im tired of having to act like a cheating boyfriend or something and make up stupid lies to call into my shit supposed to be part time food service job. Fuck making pizzas and FUCK NEW YEARS. I will go back on a different day when i don't have to make 40 pizzas that only half will show up tp pick up, and another portion will be rude as fuck because of some small problem. Not. Paid. Enough.
