First of all I'd like to say that I had an awesome time at the races over the weekend. It was great being with Dusty and the gang and I'm sure gonna miss it until the season starts back up. We met some of the drivers and crews that we didn't know and hung out with them for a little while Saturday night at the hotel and had an absolute blast with them. I hope we'll get to see more of them next year.
Now for the down side of my weekend trip - when I got back to work today I had a bit of a shock. We are allowed to swap days with other people so that we can save vacation time or get days off that we need when we would otherwise be working. I had swapped with someone for one of the weekend days thinking that she could be depended on and she didn't bother to show up or to get a replacement to work for her. This made me look really bad and also made me loose 12 hours of overtime pay. Not only was I terribly embarassed by this, but now I have to figure out how to make ends meet since I'll be loosing quiet a bit of pay.
I guess I have different values from most folks, because I was raised that if you committed to do something then you did it or you made sure it got done. It was called dependability when I was growing up, but now I guess most people look at it as "every man for himself". It's a sad day, but I guess it was to be expected. Oh well, "Once bit - twice shy" as the old saying goes. I just know that it won't happen again. I learned my lesson.
Thanks for letting me vent and I hope you all have a great week! Remember that I Love You All!
