I need a day off so bad, but I have no idea when my next one is. But, this is EXACTLY why I asked you NOT to give me a shift. I'm exhausted and I don't need it!

You have ONE chance to give me the ONLY acceptable explanation you have left, or I quit. I've put up with too much of your BS for almost 2 years now. So far, it looks like you want her and not me, so you confirm that and you've got it. And when you don't have me at your disposal to call in and cut as you please, you can deal with the consequences of losing one of the hardest working, most loyal employees you' were ever lucky enough to have. I deserve better (and the truth to my face) Also probably explains why she ignored my last text when she ALWAYS responds IMMEDIATELY

You somehow always manage to calm me down and convince me to stay, so we'll see if you get your way this time. There's nothing you can really say to justify this.
