No good deed goes unpunished

I'm sad right now because I was supposed to see Wicked this summer before school started again and I wasn't able to go. Our local college has something called adult plus where they take senior citizens (and the general public but the seniors get a discount) to different things like broadway shows and trips to NY and museums and things like that. Well, that had on their agenda Wicked and me and my friend wanted to go. Their seats were full but we were put on the waiting list. We did this early in the summer but as the date approached, we still didn't hear anything. We've been shorthanded at work for awhile so I've been putting in some heavy overtime. When my boss was doing the schedule for the next week, she asked if I stilled needed that day off because my co-worker wanted four days off because her bday and anniversary were like two days apart. Why she needed four days for two, I don't know. She actually wanted a whole week off but since we were shorthanded, she was only going to get four. So, anyway, my boss asked if I still needed it off and I said no, because if there were openings then they would have called by now.

So the day before they were supposed go, they called my friend and said that someone had cancelled and they had an opening which really sucked because I had to work and couldn't go and neither could my friend. But they still were going another day (today) for Wicked and we asked to be put on the list for that. But lo and behold, no one cancelled this time and so I didn't get to go see it. And I really really wanted too. It just really sucks.

I mean, I had requested for the first day off months before and I just let it go so my co-worker can have her little 'vacation.' I can understand but at the same time, I've been pulling 6 days a week for the last two months to help out and then worked 10 days straight to help my boss and her out and I missed my opportunity. Plus I'll be full time at school and I won't have any time to do anything else but school and work. It just sucks. Really and truly. Oh well. I guess I'll see it sometime. Thanks for letting me vent. Good day people.
