I keep trying with the cat. It still runs away if I try to pick it up, but it'll sit with me for a while and let me pet it.
Maybe it'll get used to me this week. I've got more shifts because one of the other ticket-takers told the manager a monster from the darkness ate his toes and that's why he was late-but the manager made him take his shoes off and they were all still there. He hasn't hired a replacement yet.
