Complaining about partner's job
All I want for Christmas is for my husband to be managing any sector but retail.

@bridgebury Ooh, yeah. I'm working a food service job now and Friday half the scheduled crew couldn't make it for various reasons or had to leave earlier than usual.
They even texted me Saturday morning to ask if I could come in because they'd already had 5 folks call in to cancel. I'll bet retail is equally stressful, so sympathies to both of you.

@Aggy_C Obviously he has it worse than I do, because I have vacation around the holidays and he doesn't. But it feels fucking shitty to feel guilty about having vacation days when he is at his most stressed, and not be able to do anything to help the situation. The whole apartment has felt stressed whenever he's home this entire weekend.
