Just when I think it might be looking up...
Well... that's a bit melodramatic... It's not quite as bad as that makes it sound, I just thought it fitting of what's going on today.
If I hadn't been in such an amazing mood these past two days, I'd have been ready to kill someone tonight. The busiest nights of the week at Bunny's are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Friday and Saturday make sense, especially with good weather. But Wednesday is kind of an odd one. To be absolutely accurate, Wednesday is busy when the Powerball is high. Well, tonight the Powerball was 170 million. It's so crazy that I went in for 2.5 hours on Wednesday last week, even though I had it off, because Tammy was scheduled alone. This week it was supposed to be myself and Cheryl. Well, she never showed up. No call, nothing, she just no-showed. The three of us who were there at the time weren't too surprised. I think the only thing that surprised us at all is that she didn't call, she's called in 15 minutes before she's supposed to be there before. We're all fucking sick of her. Tammy actually complained about her to Jean and/or Tom (head cashier and owner respectively), specifically her shitty attitude. Tammy told me yesterday that she was told that Cheryl would probably be gone in a few weeks. Before Jean left today (she works 8-5ish) she told me "Tammy might be getting her wish earlier than we thought." So it ended up being Curly and I alone on one of the busiest nights...... because of Cheryl....... again.........
I was surprised, it wasn't as crazy as it's been before. It was enough for me to handle alone... barely. Normally Curly ends up up front doing lottery and bagging for me, this time I was able to do it all myself. It was steady, the problem is that it was steady until about 9 PM. The girl on til 8 empties and cleans up the coffee area, if there's no girl on til 8, the one there til 10 has to do it. It's typically started around 7/7:15. I wasn't able to start it until 9. The up side is that the night absolutely flew by. The biggest downside is that since I didn't have a full day off last week, this was my 11th day of work in a row, so I kept making teeny stupid mistakes because I was trying to do 3/4 things at once.
Thankfully I have tomorrow off. I'm fried and need a day. I'm going to get my check, go to the bank and call the call center to see if anyone's looked at my application... other than that I'm going to try to do some sorting and cleaning in my room. I also have to do some work on my hermit crab's home... I haven't seen any of them in over a week... gotta make sure they're all with me. An ongoing project is trying to get my kitten to stop climbing my screen. I'm afraid it's going to fall out. There's also the fact that her little claws are making little holes in the screen... and letting in tons of little bugs into my room. I got her to stop climbing it tonight by turning off my light so the bugs would hopefully stop buzzing around my screen... though now all the ones already in my room are attracted to my monitor >.< I have teeny bug shaped smears all over the place now. That's another one to add to the to-do list... clean my monitor... blech.
The other result of Cheryl no-showing today is that I can't count on having Saturday off now. If Tom fires her I'm going to have to go in. This sucks because if I got the call center job I was going to find some way to get down to Boston for the day... but now it's less and less likely that'll happen.
Oh! I have another example of my having no patience for guy-drama. I got home last night a little after 8, made dinner and sat down to eat and watch Star Trek (since watching the movie, I'm re-watching all of the original series. I found a site streaming it, with minimal comercials). At about 9:30 Eric texts me to tell me about his bowling game for the night. He asks me if I want to go bowling sometime, I tell him no, I don't like it very much since it irritates my wrists. So he asks what else we could do. I respond that there are tons of things to do that aren't bowling. Then he says something to the effect of "well, I want to see you again, so what can we do?" I did get a little snippy at that point (though I appologized), and told him that I couldn't tell him what to do tomorrow, let alone plan an outing for who knows when. I had worked, it was late, and I was really not in the mood to discuss that right then. He happily said "okay, have a good night :)" I bet I could bitch him out and he'd just smile and take it... guys like that irritate me... hell, anyone like that irritates me. blech
I think this ended up being all over the place, but I don't feel like going back and editing it... that's how my thought process progressed, afhnjaeiowr5h4e;oaid
sorry, there was another bug.... >.<
