It's the day of the prom and I still haven't gotten an okay to miss work today because the person who is going to work my shift for me left early yesterday before I could ask him. When I asked a CSM yesterday how I could have today off, she said I have to agree with someone to work my shift and I'll work one of theirs, and it has to be in the same week. She said all we have to do is write it on a piece of paper and give it to her, since CSMs are the schedule people. The CSM said I can do it over the phone, so I called into work. I asked for a CSM and I asked if she could call Josh at home and ask if he could work my shift and she said she will and for me to call back in 10 minutes. I called, and she said he's at Wal-Mart right now, so I asked if I could talk with him. He got on the phone and I asked him if he could work today's shift and he asked what time it was. (he's a Swedish guy so he's kinda hard to understand, and also to explain to, plus he is very impatient, like if you are doing something and he thinks you are going too slow, he will take over and do it faster, even if it's something that doesn't need to be done fast.) I told him it's from 4-midnight, and he said okay he'll work it. He was going to hang up but I told him he has to write it down on a piece of paper and give it to a CSM and he made a sound like he was annoyed, but said okay, bye, and hung up. The CSM had told me I had to agree with someone, and write it down, so I did what I was supposed to.

My mom wanted me to do yardwork before the prom, which was at 7, so I used the weed eater and cut the grass in our back yard which was waist-high, lol. I was raking it up when Adam pulled into our driveway with his tux on. He came out and said, "Jason, why aren't you ready!?" I told him that it's only 3. He said we are supposed to go take pictures first. Oops, hehe. I went in and got my tux on and then got a call. It was Wyatt from Wal-Mart, an assistant manager, who is right under store manager. He said, "You are coming to work today, right?"
"No, I got it arranged with Josh and he is going to work my shift and I'll work one of his another day."
"Josh already worked his shift today, he can't work a double shift."
"But he told me that he would work it, so he shouldn't have said he would if he couldn't."
"You have to go through a CSM, then manager, then Josh. And you have to have 3 weeks notice. Josh can't work closing anyway because of his disbility (he can't use his right arm due to something in his brain, and it will never heal)"
"Well, the CSM just told me I had to agree with someone to trade shifts, and Josh agreed with me."
"Josh will say anything. So, either come in or don't, it just depends on how much you need a job."
"Okay..." Then I said bye and hung up. I got in the car with Adam and we were off to go get Estella at Adam's parents' house (he lives at his aunt's).

We got Estella, and then the limo arrived (yes, Estella's parents paid for a limo to take us). I also met Adam's date, who is his ex-girlfriend, though he wants to get back together and she wants to too, though she currently has a very controlling boyfriend. I have to admit though, she is pretty good-looking. We took pictures, then went to Estella's house and took pictures, then at Adam's aunt's house. Adam's 24-year-old sister was there with us, along with their neighbor. We also picked up Tammy, who used to work at Arby's, and I guess she is good friends with Adam's family and with Estella. Tammy is like 40 though. Very obnoxious, and she made gross jokes too, and said that Estella is being so quiet, maybe because I was there. I guess Estella usually acts a lot more immature. I knew Adam the best out of anyone, and I he's more of an acquaintance than a friend. We came back to my house to get pictures taken (only the 4 of us going to prom of course) and then we were off to Nacho's for dinner.
