“Forced Off”

The assignment was to write about anything.  So, I am going to do so.  I am a waitress.  At my job I am schduled five days a week.  I am supposed to support myself off my tips that I earn.  These past few months I have been “forced” off friday nights.  Forced off means that there is a sign up sheet on the bullitin board and if no one signs up for it the lower in sonority gets to be forced off that night.  I am lower in sonority at my job.  There have been waitresses at my job that have been there up to 30 years.  So, you can only imagine how low I am in sonority.  To work weekends at any resturant is considered to be good money making weekends.  My point is that I am going to be forced off this friday.  Which puts me in a rutt.  I requested Saturday off.  So, I am not working at all this weekend.  Which really sucks, I depend on my tips.  Its nice to have a weekend off but, the fact is that I need money like everyone else.  I find it hard at times.  I want to go and find another job but there really is no point.  If I did find another job that would be the time when I actually would get to work weekends.  Sometimes I wish I could just win the lottery!  Than I wouldn’t have to deal with this problem at work.
