ARGH! Drove to work and it was cancelled!

I was supposed to work at Worlds of Fun tonight. I guess it's tradition that on the last week of operation we are open on Thursday. I never understood why since we have no staffing, very few rides would be open, and they knew it would be raining all day. But I did go to work. It was about a 40 minute drive in torrential downpours.

I got there, and nobody was there! I checked my cell phone, and Aaron had called to say, "I'm sure you got the message, but remember, work is cancelled for today." I really wish I had gotten that message before I drove to work. I guess they called and texted him three separate times starting at noon to tell him that they had cancelled operations for tonight, but they never once called me! I am irritated that they never called me to tell me, but at least I don't have to work tonight!

That sucks that you drove all that way in horrible weather to only have to turn around and do it all over again. But like you said, on the up side, you had the rest of the night to yourself!!!

I'm confused though. You said they called and texted you 3 times since noon, but then in the same sentence said that they never called you.

A lot of people use texts to communicate now instead of picking up the phone and calling. I have just gotten into the habit of checking because you never know.

It stinks that you had that long drive in a downpour but at least you got the rest of the night off!

They called/texted my boyfriend Aaron (a supervisor). He did call me on the way to work and left me a voicemail, but I did not receive it until I was in the parking lot.

So did you feel like Clark Griswold when Wally World was closed?
