Go figure. It hasn't been sucky, just dead. Now, I would have preferred to be home, I don't know, watching movies or playing video games. But as dead as it's been, I've been rather productive. I got through the 200+ messages in my inbox. And I watched lots of Newsradio. I've lost track of how many episodes ( Read more... )

Working open to close today, as the manager is at a manager's meeting. Which only goes 'til six, but hey, managers deserve short days, right? Employees are the ones who need the long, unforgiving hours. Especially when they haven't had a day off in a week, and they're only supposed to be working four days a week, too ( Read more... )

Meeting got cancelled!

I can sleep in tomorrow!

There is justice in the world.

Wait, no there isn't. I still work in a crappy retail job. But at least I'll be well rested.

Fucking hell. I am so pissed that I just want to punch someone in the face right now... I should know better than to answer the phone.

These bland, meaningless company names just have to stop.

People who bring in kids with crap-filled diapers. Is it too much to ask that you not inflict your child's feces on people who have to serve you.

I just had a lady in here who was pushy as all hell, a real control freak beeotch. The kicker? She was wearing a Spongebob Squarepants Hawaiian shirt ( Read more... )

...at people who will drop $20 without a second thought on something that I wouldn't spend 3 bucks on.

Which, I guess, is why I have a job.

Half an hour to closing, but I just couldn't hold it anymore. So went in to use the crapper, and I was trying to pay close attention to the chime just in case anyone came in. The whole time I was in there (and it sure felt like a while), I was just saying to myself, "Please, don't come in, don't come in..." But no chime, so I figured I was good ( Read more... )
