I am the Dietary Manager at a nursing home. I have a love/hate relationship with what i do. I have been at my current building for almost a year. I followed my boss of 10 years. But anyways. I am short staffed at the moment. Unlike other managers i have been picking up those shifts. I just finished a 19 day, 150+ hour stretch. Today was suppose to be my first day off, the last 3 opportunities for a day off someone called off. A girl who was suppose to be doing a double today (her choice because of school) called off at 11pm last night. After nearly 40 mins of crying and anger i put my phone on do not disturb and it is gunna stay like that. I feel guilty and horrible about it but man i need a day off. How does one not feel this way?? Btw i am doing a double tomorrow 13 hrs and the next prospective day off after today is next saturday.
