Happy Birthday?!?!

So Friday the 30th is my 18th Birthday and lucky for me I get to work. I didn’t request the day off because I didn’t mind working a shift; however I’m scheduled to work a split. I don’t want to work a split shift on my birthday in a fast food restaurant surrounded by people I really don’t want to be with(most of them, there are a few exceptions). To make the story even better I can’t find anyone to cover my shift. It irks me that whenever I cover someone’s shift (which I do a lot) no one ever comes up to help me out. I figure now I won’t cover as many shifts as a have been. The few people who would cover my shift are already working so I can’t blame them. Honestly I just need someone to cover a shift. It’s not the worst thing in the world and I have a valid reason. Anybody else’s birthday and they’d have it off or it’d be covered. F*$# A@$hole. I’m not a happy camper!!! And scheduling do you think they even thought for a second that I might not want to spend my first day as an adult in a restaurant catering to stuck up high school students and incompetent “adults”(or so they call themselves).

I understand I might no be getting anywhere with all of this but I just wonder if it’s not right or if I’m the only person in the world who would get upset about something like this. It’s my birthday, I don’t expect people to roll out the red carpet or wait on me hand and foot, I just want to be happy on my birthday. It only comes once a year and if I can be happy one day a year because of it the DANG IT let me live a little. People drive me crazy and I don’t want to deal with irate customers all day. The thing that really gets me is that my shifts are cashier shifts. I hate cash more than anything. If it was dish I wouldn’t mind so much because I’d be alone in the back and I wouldn’t be so angry. GRRRRRRR I’m fuming this is so annoying I’m mad and that’s the truth. I can’t go on because it’s the same thing over and over again making everything very repitious.
