TGIF… or maybe not.

Having been a productive member of society (well, I guess I wouldn't go that far. Let's just say I showed up to a job 5 times a week or more for almost 2 years), I can definitely relate to wanting to get out of work on time on Friday… However, I never left an hour early just because I felt like it. When I showed up at 4:30PM at a mercantile establishment, I met the last employee who was just locking up the door, despite the sign that said "opening hours" were until 5:30PM. It wouldn't be that bad, except I wasted and hour with the driving, etc, and the employee showed absolutely no remorse for her dereliction of duty. Unfortunately, that is rather typical around here. Like the entire Financial Aid department that wasn't in their office at 12:45PM, and 3:30PM today, despite a sign that announced "opening hours" were 9a-5p M-F. Grr. I guess I'll have to wait until Monday to pick up that loan check. Not that I really care (as I wasn't expecting a loan check - so either I miscalculated or it is in fact a check from teaching CPR a couple of weekends ago), but it is just the principle of the thing. And I do feel bad for people that have not been able to pay their rent/other necessities because they haven't been able to pick up their loan checks… :neutral:

I guess different countries have different work ethics! You won’t be there long enough to get used to it. I am at work, it is pretty good so far, Super Bowl Sunday! See you soon, Papa
