Doubles...

Now, I know that there are good doubles (oreos) and bad doubles (dopplegangers). But todays tribute is to the working double... that's right, the one where you have to work for fourteen hours straight with no real breaks or chances to nap. That is what I am doing right now and it is the longest day of my life (maybe not my life, but close to it). I just ate a delicious employee lunch of cold grilled chicken, old soggy/hard fries (they were really weird) and lettuce that I am pretty sure they have been giving us for a few days now. It was really good... okay not really, but it is the only food and the only break that I have for fourteen hours!!! So I had to make the most of it. I think that they should provide an employee nap area and give me some manadatory nap time. It would be one command I wouldn't mind following... just think of the possibilites!!! And what about chocolate? Don't you think that they could provide some for us! Actually, funny story... The Homestead decided to promote the fudge that they make and sell - by placing some of it in the spa as samples and then we could send people to buy it over at the gift shop. Funny thing, all of the spa employees ate most of the fudge before any of the guests could have any to sample :) We haven't seen anymore fudge since that day. Okay, so the chocolate thing is out... but it was really yummy! I just think that there are a lot of employee benefits that could be added to the list and this would be a much more appealing place to work. Especially if they aren't going to provide any oreos to eat or dopplegangers to work in my place... just a thought...

Hmm, I wonder why they aren't providing you with any chocolate? Could it be that you ate all the fudge already?
But I agree that double shifts are too much.
