Dilemmas

It has been a hard day for me today.. Since I started working I told them I need Mondays off for my class (ship shape).. I checked the schedule yesterday before I left and they put me working 11am-7pm on the next 2 Mondays. It is unacceptable, then today I get a reminder call about my Doctors Appointment Monday morning.. During the time I am scheduled to work. I am hoping to have someone take my place/switch/etc for me but being a newbie it is hard. The WLS is first and the most important thing to me, but since I am already scheduled I can't NOT show up and still expect to have a job. We will see what happens, I don't want to quit but I do not want to postpone anything about my progress to achieving the surgery so that I may have the "tool" to improve my Quality of Life.

It is such a hard situation to be put in. If I can not get coverage for Monday then I not only miss a scheduled Surgery Appointment but I will miss my Ship Shape class as well. At first I was ok with it, but it is eating away at me because I really am NOT ok with missing the things that are IMPORTANT To me and to my success.
