I don't think my DON likes me very well

Published

For those of you who are regulars here, you may have remembered me asking about switching weekends not too long ago. Well, I told the nurse who was wanting to switch, that I would. I usually work every other Fri, Sat. Sun. Well when I switched weekends, I lost my Friday babysitter. I found this out just this past weekend and I've frantically called around, trying to find anyone, well not anyone, someone with experience, even if it is a teenager from the local high school. Alas, school is not out yet around here, so I came away empty-handed. I've left some messages and emailed people I knew who either knew some teens, had some teens that might want a bit of pocket money, or the actual teen themselves. I also put it out on Facebook that I was looking for someone. Not a one has answered my plea for help. So I called work today and got the DON that nearly fired me and I had to tell her that I couldn't work this Friday. I did tell her why, but she was really "cold" with me and hung up on me without saying good-bye. I feel really bad, but what can I do? Take my 21 month old to work with me??? Thanks for letting me vent....ARGH!

Blessings, M.

Glad to hear things seem to be turning out ok for you. I guess everybody is entitled to have a bad day here and there. Good luck with getting this resolved for the long term.

glad this worked out, see the DON isn;t such an ogre, you just caught her in a bad moment, - she must be human like the rest of us!

Great for you. Good luck finding a sitter. Hope your weekend is smoothe. Blessings.
