Portrait of a Man Nearing 42 and No Closer to the Meaning of Life
Added 2019-10-09 15:59:31 +0000 UTCI’ve been keeping this piece in my back pocket until I was really feeling it. I know I’m not posting a lot of Patreon exclusives, but here’s my current work situation: a full-timer quit, bringing our only skeletal crew down to 2. My assistant manager, the only other employee, is on vacation. I have been working 9 days straight without help. But don’t worry, I only have 3 more to go!
Now you might be thinking, “Joe, is that legal?” I don’t know, who am I supposed to complain to, the manager? Believe me, I already do. And I’m sure the people in the AT&T store next door are growing more and more concerned that there is only one voice coming through the wall having a heated argument.

stories like this are becoming more and more common. I had a friend in a very similar situation to this. If things don't change at the frame shop after those 3 further days of misery something else is gonna have to. I'm hoping the assistant manager was already on vacation when that person quit. I know vacations might be planned well in advance but still.
