I hate how not over-explaining & justifying myself (when I literally don’t need to) feels rude
#so my boss messaged me saying they don’t necessarily need me in on saturday because someone applied for a 9-5 that was available#and i was like… first of all wow. that still only gives you three people WITHOUT me#and i know three is the bare minimum to run this shit lol. why would you not want an extra person?#i get that she was trying to be courteous (and mostly she does not want me coming back too early and falling on the ground. again)#but i would not have accepted that shift if i didn’t think i could do it#i tell a lie…… i don’t honestly know if i can do it. i mean i think i can. i know my knee can handle activities#(case in point: impromptu 30 minute workout on my exercise bike earlier)#(other case in point: currently doing 40 squats; 32 lunges; etc etc per day and planning on increasing this when i get more used to it)#plus i can walk from the town centre to home now. i can walk/be on my feet for at least 30 minutes… probably longer#i just haven’t attempted to go on longer walks than that yet. mostly because it’s FINALLY warm…. we finally have a summer#which means my little doggy doesn’t want to walk further than the end of the road because she gets too hot#anyway. i decided not to bother justifying/explaining all this to my boss#or mentioning how i have prior commitments tomorrow (doctor’s appointment) and sunday (family dinner) which means saturday#is really the only day i can come in for a little while and i want to get back at it asap#i want to know NOW if i can barista or if i should remain at home with an ice pack on my knee for another month +#but all of that isn’t what she was asking. she was asking if i still wanted the shift and my answer is YES please pay me#still. i wish it didn’t feel rude to just message back saying ‘hi [name]; i’d like to keep that shift if possible. looking forward to seeing#everyone x’#to be honest the person who applied for it is one of my work besties (everyone i like there is my work bestie. i have like. 6 work besties)#so i feel like he also wants to see me????? i mean on the one hand Not Everything Is About Me but also some things are about me#i am about me.#anyway. if you need me i’m going to watch more videos about applying tape to my knee#personal
