I work at a resort restaurant in Texas.  It’s Valentine’s Day so they’re doing a big special tonight and there’s many reservations.  Unfortunately the roads are already slick and with the temperature dropping to the low twenties to tens, it’s likely going to get worse.  At the very least, my workplace is offering rooms to the night crew, but in exchange they have to work the next morning.

I feel like the deal is fair, but I’m still terrified and anxious to the point of tears and I feel like my reasons make me a complete brat. 

Tomorrow was supposed to be my day off and I was excited to cuddle up with my cats and work on some art.  But due to the weather, I won’t be able to come home till later.  I’m also terrified about staying in a hotel room alone.  I can’t calm myself down or reason with myself and instead, I’m just telling myself that I’m being a spoiled person and should just get over it.  

But I can’t.  

I love it when it snows or rains because I feel more comfortable at home.  Days feel longer.  Now I’m at work watching the weather and hearing about my other co-workers calling in and feeling absolutely depressed.  I feel absolutely horrible.  I’m afraid to bring this up to my co-workers because I don’t want them to see me as spoiled or bratty, but I’m tearing myself up inside.
