thank goodness I have a second job. CVS has slashed hours again, and this time I did not escape. I am now down to 30 hours, which is the exact amount I need to keep all my benefits,  vacation time, and holiday pay. They are also moving payday from weekly to bi-weekly, which is really sucks but at least I have Shaw's. I can't imagine what it's going ( Read more... )

I may sorta, kinda be going into a bit of side business some time the future.

My friend has spoken to a guy who owns a little store by her home, and he has agreed to sell our baking.

I'm very excited about this! I enjoy baking, so the idea of making a few dollars doing something I actually like is very exhilarating for me.

Wish me luck that it ( Read more... )

It's not for the faint of heart.

The weak of stomach.

Or for anyone with a large gun collection.

And yes it has been one of those weeks.

This following week is going to be very, very, long. Between my 2 jobs I will be working close to 70 hours.

And Shaw's is actually trusting me enough to train for the service desk.  I'm thinking of starting a pool for how long it will take for me to sufficiently piss a customer off that they boot back to bagging.

Any takers?

forcing your employees to listen to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton' s (and I use the term loosely) music should be considered a violation of their constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment.

On a side note I I feel as if I've been vindicated. For years as child I would be repimaned by teachers for daydreaming, and now I've found ( Read more... )

I got a bit of good news over the weekend, my hours are not being cut (at least for now) and therefore my benefits are safe.

And even if some where down the line they do need to be cut, my supervisor is well aware that I need to keep my average up.

I just broke my 3rd tooth.

I'm going to have to dig up another $600 to get it fixed.

Though I have to say I kept pretty calm about it (that is if you consider swearing for 5 minutes calm).

And CVS is cutting my hours, and if they continue to do so, I'll lose all my benefits.

Ain't recessions fun? T -T

Well they finally started the construction on CVS (which should have stated last June - only 8 months late) and the now pretty much the whole store is covered in a visible layer of dust which doesn't always come off with a duster.  It's quite annoying and time consuming, because no only do I have to go around the whole store and straighten the ( Read more... )

What exactly does one do with a bunch of Depends, 3 bottles of K-Y lubrication, contraceptive film, and a replacement cane tip.

That was what was stolen from work.

I don't know whether it was a single person or several persons, it just seemed like an odd assortment of items.

The more I work in retail, the more I want to become a recluse.

Or a serial killer.

Hmmm, maybe both.
