Tomorrow starts the first version of my new schedule and I have to admit that I'm completely terrified that I'll be a useless wreck for this week and then the month after once we push up to me coming in five hours earlier than I ever have before every day I work. It's a plus in the time I have with Anissa and in the things we can get done with ( Read more... )

I promise to actually post real life stuff when real life is actually less stressy and angsty. Because right now, it's Stress-and-Angst Central. Seriously, you don't wanna hear that. I promise you. Hell, I don't even wanna hear that. *makes face ( Read more... )

Go to Anissa's post and read all about it.  Not included: Lois' work-related fuckery.  It's the biggest retail holiday of the year coming up!  Guess which fucktard manager is trying to cut hours and not hire any new seasonal employees!  Guess which crew is ready to kill him, each other, and the customers!  (Why yes, this WAS posted by Anissa.  Two ( Read more... )
