Here’s how it works with my job [in order to obtain the coveted bonus]:

I have to have all of my stores completed by the 25th of each month. That’s it. That’s all I have to do.

Things tend to go pretty smoothly; until this month. I had a ‘spare’ day I could use in the event of an emergency this month, and work through the weekend and I’d be good to wrap up on the 25th.

Then the transmission went out on the Nissan; that cost me a day. No big deal, used my free day.

Then the snowstorm hit the next day; of which I was on the phone with my supervisor trying to figure out how I was going to get out of my parking lot at the apartment. It failed.

So, now I”m working through the weekend, I have extended days to get my stores done, and what do I learn about Monday?

Another snow storm.

I get it; this stuff happens, whatever, but seriously…why on the month with only 28 days? [we have to have stores finished for the corporate office at the end of the month, no exceptions].
