what's the deal with my brain; why am I so obviously insane?
You know, for someone who took the weekend off and only worked two days this week, I am pathetically grateful for another two days off. Yesterday was hell. Pre-Christmas type hell. First of all, there were only two of us, so I was by myself until 1:15. Which, it's TUESDAY. That's not supposed to be crazy busy. And for the rest of the store it wasn't. But my department had 20 people in it pretty steadily until around 4 or so.
I multi-task pretty well. But I am ONE person and, as such, cannot ring 5 people up, answer moronic questions on the phone that never stops ringing, fit 3 people at once, do price checks/item locater bullshit, AND help people on the floor all at the same time. My sales goal was $1200. I walked out with $3000 in sales. That's a LOT of bras and panties, yo. (for reference, the highest price bra we carry is, like, $65. and most of what I was ringing was B2G1 bullshit)
In other news, this weekend was EXACTLY what I needed. Although I did have to run into work on Saturday because I'm a moron who left her debit card in the drawer. I hadn't realized how completely dependent I am on that thing until I left it somewhere.
Also, we went to see the new Trek film. Now, I'm a Star Wars girl and, while I appreciate the campy fun of TOS, I've never really gotten into the franchise. I'm familiar with it, but it's just not really my thing, you know? But I think that's the most fun I've had watching a movie in a long time. Pine somehow managed to capture Kirk's swagger and charm and unerring ability to provide watching enjoyment by getting punched in the face a lot. Seriously, I enjoy watching that dude get hit. IDEK. Also, Zachary Quinto is preternaturally pretty. Fact, ya'll. And Karl Urban was a delight, and I really love John Cho and, of course, Simon Pegg. I would totally watch it again in theaters. And that's not something I say all that often.
And now I have to go get cute because Mom arranged for the kid and me to have our picture taken. meh. I get that it's important to document these things, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it.
