Well, I had no luck getting the time off to go. It does make me upset considering the fact that I was planning on more than a venture to the Conference. I was planning to check out New York, especially the Statue of Liberty.

The ownership changed...the worst part is that the owners have not even bought their PLANE tickets. By then, it was too late to send in my registration form.

This is the weekend for the NODCC Conference. I am depressed at the moment. Every day that got closer to this weekend, I was getting very upset because I knew that I was not able to go. My coworkers were not showing any sympathy towards me with comments like:

• "Get over it."
• "It is only a trip!"
• "Go next year!"
  

etc

I cannot get over it. It is not just a vacation, but an opportunity to meet people who were anxiously expecting me to be there. They were really looking forward to hearing me speak on Sunday. Certainly, there is always next year, but it will not be close to New York. I had made plans to meet some people when I got there. I had everything planned out.

One girl says that I should stop talking about it....meanwhile, she had just returned from her Disney vacation.

I am so angry. I felt like I was not only stabbed in the back, but kicked in the stomach at the same time.

I should point out, this weekend, my family is having a huge gathering that I could not attend because I was FORCED to work, today. Yet, I am more upset over the fact of the Conference.

BTW...the store hired a guy who is getting paid $15 an hour. He is making more than me. He does not have the responsibilities that I do. I am a closing supervisor. He works in the meat dept. He was never trained to be a meat cutter, but he is being paid like one.

So, I am seeking a $15 pay raise...the owner has said that he will be doing any pay raises, but he will have to do it.
