I work at a small paper. There aren’t a lot of people on staff. We only publish five days a week. Monday through Friday. Since the paper gets printed at night the last night of the week for work is Thursday. That means Friday is my day off. (As is Saturday) For some reason though, anytime one of the “important” people from the Missoulian (they oversee our paper) needs to come down to visit they always schedule it on a Friday when most of the staff is supposed to be off. That means we either miss whatever is happening or we have to go in on our day off.

Tomorrow, my day off, the new publisher for our paper is going to be in to meet everyone. The publisher of the Missoulian is coming down to introduce them. It’s my day off but I have to go to work to meet the new boss. Kinda sucks. At first they were going to come tomorrow afternoon so I had planned to ski in the morning then come back for the meeting. I got an appointment for the afternoon to get my hair cut so my day was fairly well planned out. Then they changed the time to 10 in the morning… So that kind of messes with my day.

So now I’ll be meeting the new boss in ski clothes cause I’m going up right after I meet them. I’ll get a couple hours on the slopes before I have to come back down to get my hair cut. It’ll be a bit of a hectic day but hopefully worth it. Maybe the new publisher will realize that coming in on everyone’s day off is not a real cool way to treat the staff.
