In which the protagonist briefly reappears

Sorry I haven't been around much. A lot of people at work have either quit or been fired, which means that we're desperately short staffed this week, which in turn means that I'm working almost forty hours this week and I'm totally exhausted. That means I don't have as much time for surfing the internet as I used to. I've also been working hard

*glomps* Glad to hear from you, Manda. Am missing you! Hope we can talk sometime soon, when you're less overwhelmed! Best of luck with it all. xxxxx

Thanks dear. When things calm down a bit schedule-wise I'll see if we can't get together for a proper phone chat. I need to update you on all the goings-on with my boyfriends. *grin*

Wow, why was everyone either getting fired or quiting?

40 hours = teh suck.

The turnover at this particular store is shockingly high. Most of the people they hire don't make it past their first break, much less their first month. I'm kind of unusual in that I've stayed so long. Many times the newbies are disliked by the rest of the employees, mentally unstable, total slackers, or thieves. I blame the woman who does the hiring for this particular store because she is a dumbass. In fact, out of the group of seven people I came in with, only three others aside from myself still work there. A group of courtesy clerks that came in at the same time that was about a dozen strong is now down to two, both of whom are my friends. We've also got a lot of employees on vacation this week, which in a way is worse because we can't really replace them as such. So yeah. I'm basically being forced to pick up the slack, and it sucks.
