I will NEVER again do a 13 hour shift. At least not willingly. It's not so bad, if it's in the middle of the day. But 2 pm to 3:30 am is insane. I wasn't tired, really... not until I got home, and had this strange desire to pass out on the kitchen floor. Yep, I didn't even want to make it to my bed. I did, though, eventually. Then what happens? Insomnia. At the worst possible moment, my body decides to wage war on me, and NOT sleep. Granted I had some caffeine, but it doesn't normally affect me that much. Actually, it doesn't normally affect me at ALL. Anyhow, I finally fell asleep around 4:30 ish. I forgot to take my phone off vibrate, so even though my alarm was set for the default of 10:30, I slept right through it. Which, to be honest, felt pretty damn good.
I don't have to work today, which is probably for the better. I couldn't stand going into work, and seeing my night's worth of work destroyed. I re-folded, sized, leveled, and color snaked ALL of Women's Shop 1. ALL of it. I did all of the displays in the store. It took me damned near all night to do the Dom Wall display, because The Book made it look really confusing, when, in reality, it was incredibly simple. Stupid Book. That pisses me off, too. It used to be called the VPG. Or, Visual Presentation Guide. They spent so much company money to change the name of it, rolling out a whole new program. And you know what happens? We have this conversation:
"Hey, where's the Womens' Book?"
"The what?"
"The VPG."
"Oh, on the moves cart."
Pointless. Stupid, and pointless.
I actually have absolutely nowhere to go today. The campus is shut down, surprisingly. The other colleges in the area aren't, for some reason. Meramac, UMSL, SLU, Maryville, and WashU are ALL open. Sometimes, I like being at a hick college. It has it's advantages.
I started on Holiday shopping, and it just made me hate this season even more. Money and commercialism and greed and self absorption... ugh. I'm starting to understand why Joey chooses not to celebrate holidays. It would make life easier. Granted, I don't think I could do it, because I'm stupidly generous, and I love to make and buy stuff for the people I love... but... I could see the advantage.
