Its always a good gig.. Got sent home an hour early again. Tim Moody said nothing more to do. Then I was told I wasn't needed tomorrow either, ouch. Told that sometimes schedules change. They did say I was welcome back anytime I see a shift to pick up. Thought I had picked up shift til 20th. No worries, thank you
