Last night she was asking me if I could work until 10. I said yes.
Tonight she actually asked me to do it.
Walmart gave the associates 3 raises since I got hired; after one of them (I think the one that bumped us up to $13 an hour, I make over $14 now), corporate got very strict about overtime. Basically my Team Lead has to beg her boss for the extra hours. She did that, today, and got an extra hour for me tonight, and said she wants me to work later than 4 PM next week.
Sorry, Buddy, if he was looking forward to seeing me on the way home, it doesn't look likely. He has my number, though. He's a grown man he can make his own choices.
I worked my ass off, yet again, tonight. They got their 7 hours worth that's for sure. Ace was OK getting me later but he did say he doesn't work that late, in passing, on the way home. I kept him entertained with work gossip and tales about the cats. I also gave him a Christmas card with something in it, telling him I wished I could give him more.
I've known him about 10 years. Back in the day Ron would give Ace a very large cash gift (about one day's pay for me now) for Christmas or "just because". I wish I could do that now and I think Ace knows that.
So next week is likely to be even more than I planned. I had hoped to at least say goodbye to Buddy but I may not see him again. But he has my number, it's up to him.
That's it for now!
