I Really Don't Want To Be The Go To Guy...

(Music - Lying From You - Linkin Park)

So, My job called me up yesterday and wanted to know if I could go train to work at another job site for like two days in August (Yes, I said two days) because a bunch of people jumped ship because my company is losing the contracted in September.

Now I usually wouldn't be against it, for the fact is I understand my work needs the help sometimes. But, I have already did the helping thing for my company and as far as I am concerned it bite me square in the ass.

A month ago, they asked if I would be willing to train and work in a different position since I wouldn't be needed in the position I was in for about two months. So I went in and trained and they made it sound like I was going to be getting all these hours, then I get my schedule and I am only working 9 days (9 FUCKING DAYS!) the whole month. If they had told me that I would have been like no thank you and been done with it but too little, too late for that now I guess.

Of course, it gets even better because they hire another person at the same time as me, but they gave her hours (must be nice to be a friend of the supervisor's daughter) by having her do the weekend shift. Well her the first weekend she was suppose to work she didn't show (didn't get fired might I add) and I got called in to help. The second weekend she work she got someone to cover for half her shift the first day and did work the second day, which is good because I worked the graveyard that weekend and I honest thought I would be working a double. Last weekend she didn't even show up and she still has a job (WTF). So I am stuck in fill-in hell, yet this bum gets to do what she wants.

I finally get to work a full week of shift next week and was suppose to be getting 40 hours a week next month. It has also changed like three times so I doubt I will see anywhere close to that.
If being the guy my boss calls to help (Go To Guy) means being a broke and stressed out gopher then I don't want the title.
