As any self respecting person may know (which does not include Starbucks people, over priced coffee that tastes burnt), the standard order at Tim Horton's is a "double double", meaning two creams, two sugars. I have come to calling my Friday, Saturday portion of my weekly schedule my Tim Horton's portion of the week, since I double between both jobs both days (aka my double, double). Not that my schedules are set in stone, but they are at least reliably consistent. Occasionally i may only work one of the two jobs on either of those days, chances are most likely i will work both though. Or i will work one and catch a double on Wednesday also, so most weeks i have at least two doubles, usually three. So i get my schedule at the one job Saturday night, it looks like the previous week, Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, which means i will have my three doubles again, as well as a Timmy (double, double) on the weekend. So i emerge from my overnight slumber today, thinking i still have like 7 hours or so to make something to eat before going to work my overnight shift Tuesday night.
As luck would have it, at 4 pm the other job calls and asks if I know I am working tonight, which I in fact did not know. I was off when I checked the schedule on Saturday, but I made a mistake. Mind you i have been there 11 months, and my attendance has been pretty reliable (late twice, called off once), so it isn't like I mind working. But over the course of those 11 months i have been in the same position every shift. It is monotonous to be sure, but makes it easy when checking the schedule or so I thought. Turns out the switched my position for the first time, which is why i missed it on the schedule and why this week I have two Timmy's, Tuesday-Wednesday and Friday-Saturday. I would complain but vacation is less than two months away and I am already starting to book things when i get there. So until vacation passes, Timmy me up!
