The flipside

Trying to find a way to describe my disappointment about needing to work tomorrow, my day off, with out being whiny or an asshole.  I'm already holding down the fort on my own on the Fourth.  All my full timers get the day off.  Now a family tragedy for one of my salesmen leaves him unable to work tomorrow, and me obligated to cover his shift.

In theory, tomorrow is an early pay day.  The total amount will factor heavily on when I go to get a new car.  I've got the payments figured out based on my non-managerial earnings, and a certain (goal) down payment.  If this paycheck is enough to put me over into that ideal range... I'm pulling the trigger this weekend.
