It is going to be a very long weekend for me. Had to rent a car because I was afraid BOF would be bad and not get me down to my family. Saturday is the viewing. Sunday is the funeral and Monday is the burial. I was suppose to go back to work on Monday but guess what I am not. There is a debate going on whether I am entitled to funeral pay or not. My call back date is Monday and part of the funeral is Monday so I should get it, right? I have worked there 12 years and never used any funeral time, didn't call in not one time last year, have 240 hours of medical time and 80 hours of vacation time. Anyway I wanted to share you guys infor about my grandpa.
