I've got programs scheduled Friday nights and Saturday nights right now. It's unusual for me to work extended periods of Friday or Saturdays, but I'm running a couple of teen center programs and therefore working weekend evenings. Since April-we had our fundraiser and then I started working weekends.
Margaret Cho is in town this weekend. And we have tickets. And I have a group scheduled. It's also session #4 of my group...which means it's run not by me, but by a substance abuse counselor. Which, while it's not ideal, means that if I can't be there for some reason, it's okay. So I arranged the group, had it covered for me by the counselor and things were merry.
Until last week when I. my substance abuse counselor told me he couldn't do it, he had to go to Richmond that day...all day. Obviously I couldn't be there-I'm already supposed to be somewhere else. I. comes back to me later in the week and tells me the problem is solved; IB, another co-worker, will have a peer run the presentation (a lot of our presesntations are peer led anyway) and we're fine. I. comes back to me this mroning and tells me that's no good, and we're back to square one; no available staff to do the presentation, I lost my site contact at the site weeks ago-he moved on and it's not a permanent site, so it's not even like I can call and reschedule with any expectation that I'll reach a real person.
And you know if I don't reach an actual, live, real person, that I'll get fucked over.
