I called out today. About 15 mins before my shift. They asked why and I said I had other things to do. Which is true. Whether those things are important to the other person on the other side or to anyone else in the world I don't know. Because I choose to remain discreet. Chances are they will not find them important because they won't align with their values.
My manager texted me afterwards with good points. He said I have a responsibility to my job. It is unfair to the company. And they had 6 people call out today. And I would be #7.
I would make 100 bucks today if I worked after taxes. I could make that 100 bucks or more today or more in roughly the same amount of time as my work shift. But will I don't know. To be able to move freely and keep my current situation I need to make about 1000 a month. Which is 33 dollars a day.
If I want to make my situation better I need to make 4000 a month and I could repair my debt, have a nice dwelling, be able to afford food, leisure activity, and savings. Which is all I want. And that comes out to 133 dollars a day.
I can learn skills that can generate far more. Where as if I worked I couldn't focus.
So as long as I don't waste the day away watching YouTube, tiktok, video games, eating, smoking, or thinking about doing something. I can have an incredibly productive day.
I took the day off today. This will be my last post. I'll post tomorrow morning for what I ended up doing today. I'm going to respond to the text message my boss sent me. Than I will get to work.
