Condolences

Ok, this was meant to be my post for yesterday but with the family stuff. . .it got shuffled to today.

I just wanted to send out my sympathies to my boss and his family because his father-in-law died at 2:33am Saturday morning. He'd been sick for a while and had stopped the treatments that weren't really helping do more than prolong an increasingly painful existence. Tony thought that he would linger for quite a while but, alas, it was obviously not meant to be. I feel really bad for Tony's wife, Lee, who is a very sweet woman and I like her a lot. I also feel bad for Lee's mother but as I don't know her, my sympathies mainly lie with Lee. I had discovered in the company handbook that they give bereavement leave and pay so Tony will have three days off this week to spend with Lee. So, Jon and I will have to cover his shifts. I ended up coming in today (it was supposed to be my only other work day off) so I now have overtime in for the week. Next week I won't have a single day off until Sunday because Tony will be off for both of my scheduled days. We really need someone in the fourth keyholder position but this is fine. He needs the time away. I just hope that the higher ups delay their visit to the store. We have a new muckitymuck who was planning to visit in two weeks but who may show up this week. And our DM's Friday meeting was postponed but I don't know for how long. I can handle it all but they do like the manager to be there too. Tony's time off for this incident better not be messed up like it was when he tried to take a much needed vacation cause we will all go grrr. lol

Anyway, this is the other reason I was grrr yesterday about the family cause I knew more about Tony's situation than I did my own family's. And if anyone tries to call me this week and I don't answer the phone, it will be because: a) I am at work or b) I am sleeping. So, you are all fairly warned.
