I Need a Day Off
Ugh... I haven't gotten a remotely decent night's sleep in 5 days. I really want to call in sick, I know it's lying, but I don't care. Sleep is probably the most important thing in the world to me. I'm tired of getting up at the ass crack of dawn to work at a job that I hate so as to earn an incredibly measly paycheck. As I sit here, my mind is racing, contemplating viable excuses to use to escape from work. I've already had a cold a few months back, so I can't use that. Also, I can't simply make up something, I really need to be sick, because my dad would never let me just call in sick if I wasn't truly sick. Stomach/vomit problems seem like the most viable option right now. I could try eating something disgusting and then punching myself in the stomach until I throw up. Stabbing myself is an option, though a trip to the ER doesn't sound especially nice for my day off. I think what I'll do is mix up some fake vomit and throw it on my floor, so when dad comes to wake me up in the morning (I have an alarm clock, but my will to sleep is far too strong to allow me to be awoken by such a feeble device) he'll see it and call McDonald's for me.
And please, don't give me any of your bullshit: "Whatever HM, I have to get up at -2:00 am in the morning and work for 22,000 hours a day, 10 days a week." I realize that there are jobs which are a lot worse than mine; they require more effort from the employee, the shifts are longer, bla bla bla. I don't care. I'm 15. I'm barely of legal working age. Especially on weekdays, when I have to work for anywhere from 4 to 7 hours, then come home and do school, in which I'm basically required to get straight A's, lest my parents force me to pay for my own insurance, which would make me pretty much royally fucked as my paychecks are astoundingly small. (Yeah, that sentence had more grammatical errors than the entire state of Texas, but whatever.)
TL;DR: I'm tired and I want a day off.
(P.S. I don't hate Texans. Please don't be offended by that joke, because it was just that: A JOKE. We don't really like Texans here in our town, because all we get is the moronic tourist-y kind of Texans. It's a big joke around here. Don't take it seriously.)
