Thursday the 12th, I got internet/cable hooked up ... got a call. Matt Simms, stupid pot head driver, quit. He's the assistant's ride-in, so no manager. I go in, work from noon to 11pm.
Friday the 13th. Work 11-2 at Pizza Connection, then go over to Papa John's and work 4:30 - close (we got out about 12:30).
Saturday the 14th. Off during the day, Pizza Connection 5-Close (about 10:30). Went in to PJ's so Wayne could go home and get an early start on Father's Day. Got out of PJs at about 1am.
Sunday the 15th. Worked 10:30am to 6pm. Got out early, even though cry-baby Josh was cussing me out because I refused to work his closing shift.
Monday the 16th. Supposed to be day off. Worked 5-Close at Papa John's. Tip average: $6.5 on 13 runs. Niiiice. Not so niiiice? Ex-assistant and roomie (ex-driver) used key and passwords to break into the store, and rob weekend deposits from safe: $6,000 gone. Bad owner for not getting key back. To top it off, they threw a cinderblock through side window to make it look like a not-inside-job robbery.
Tuesday the 17th. 11-2 at Pizza Connection, 5-Close at Papa Johns.
Wednesday the 18th. 11-2 and 5-8 at Pizza Connection. Because Tony didn't schedule a closer, went in PJs from 8:30-Close.

Yeah, you sound like someone in desperate need of a blow job and a break.
I'd recommend setting yourself up the day before you take your break by stocking up on food and alcohol, as well as any other "required" items to help you have a relaxing day off. Get out of work and consume your beverage of choice 'til you're tired. Wake up whenever you gotta piss and start drinking again. Eat as necessary. DO NOT DRIVE! Would ruin the whole concept of a laid back day off.
Repeat as necessary.

How do you like closing, Jeff? I'm currently on my two week close rotation at Subway. Sun-Wed I close at 12 but on Thu I close at 3. It gets busy sometimes but I'm by myself after 7 Sun-Wed and after 10 on Thu, which is annoying because we get rather busy after 2 when the local bars close.

Did I ever tell you my first job was at a Subway franchise? Worked it for a year and a half.
I don't mind closing. Its either busy or dead at both places after the late driver gets cut, so either I make a lot of money, or I get my closing duties done faster.
LOA:
Not working on my day off would presume that I had days-off to begin with.
Actually, I do have Saturday off -- some friends are coming up for an "apartment warming" -- just picked up some Amstel Light and Coronas for that. Which adds one more thing to the list: I gotta have this place unpacked and organized by 4pm Saturday!!!

The problem with people like us, Snay, is that the rest of the world realizes we're willing to do work when it's needed, and so they just shove off more stuff for us to do.
You have my sympathies...

And then they won't take the friggin' hint when you tell them you need time off because of all the extra work they've flung at you like monkey feces. Finally, you just have to yank the battery out of your cell phone, lock out your email account, and spend the night on the roof to avoid being bothered.
I'll be feeling how you do now in another ten days or so. My roommate and I have found another apartment, so the week of June 30 to July 4 will be an interesting juggle of classes everyday, two final exams, a holiday work week, and moving.

Subway closes at 3:00? In the morning? The one a couple blocks from my apartment usually closes at 9 or 10p.m., I think.

Subway is open until 3AM, yes. The local bars close at 2, so we stay open an hour later than that. Between 2-3 is usually the busiest time.

My night job, Spikes, is across the street from a bar.. weekdays in RI, bars close at 1, and 2 on weekends.. Spikes is only allowed to b open til 2, so we only get the bar rush during the week.. but drunks will pay anything for food at that hour, no matter what day there are plenty of drunks.. many will actually leave before last call just for the privelige of paying $3.50 for a hot dog that would cost $2.50 during the day.

Jeff...do you need to do all this work? Is it to get money to survive, or to eat, or just to buy new speakers for your jeep?

I need a new car by the end of summer, and yes, I do need the money - I'd like to make some big dents in some of my debts, and I'd like to put some more $$ into my savings account.
