Also I forget if you got full time or not but I'm guessing either way you can't use PTO or FMLA or anything to cover the wages from missing shifts?  Still not full-time yet, and I put the Time-Off Request under Bereavement, so we'll see if I get paid for it (probably not). And yeah, he died in his sleep at the ripe old age of 91. So, we always knew it was coming, we just didn't know when. So, it happened now, and like I said, I'm more annoyed than sad. I know I should be grieving and stuff, but I'm just not feeling anything, tbh.

@ Moonface Yeah at least we decided to go that day, as we were considering not exactly that time, but to not try and go every single week to visit him, but now we basically need to now thanks to that mishap. If we were to not go that Monday, who knows what we may have found next time, as he's really limited himself in verbal communication even to us, let alone going out asking a neighbour or some random walk by to ask for help.
Ha, thank goodness your parents did that even if it wasn't their intention as a precaution to not having a key.
@ Maniakkid25 My condolences, at least he went peacefully. Hopefully they'll allow that Bereavement pay.
Weather has been Summer like for a few days. Today was again nice and quite hot until the sudden downpour of rain this evening. Stopped for now though.

Not too bad, really. Only worked four days (due to having a bank holiday on Monday), and didn't have a massive amount to do on those days. Just about enough to keep me occupied without getting bored  .
Next week should be a bit more eventful, though, since it's my girlfriend's birthday. I'll be going to see her for four days. I wrapped her presents today: hopefully I've got enough!

Worked Sunday and celebrated my Mum's birthday at a Turkish restaurant close to us (outside of town), that two of us hadn't been to before, but my sister had done. Was really great and expressed me desire to go there for my birthday too, possibly.  I had a soup starter Chicken a la Cream that was delicious.
Visited my Dad Monday with sister, and we all went to see our family friend (the one I play Scrabble with), and that went relatively well.
I was stupidly tired on Tuesday and Wednesday so just rested, and worked today. Doing an extra shift this coming Monday too.
