LOVE work.
So the day that that all happened (see previous entry)....I was at work from 7am-4:30pm!!! I was supposed to get out at 11 (which pissed me off a little....need more hours) when Nita (the wife) would relieve me, but my boss said that if I wanted to stay a little later I could call Nita around 10 and see what she wanted to do. I called the cell and house around said time and no one answered. Needless to say, I wasn't about to complain. So I stayed and stayed and stayed and read 8 chapters of my book, 3 magazines, vaccumed, dusted every product, swept and rearranged the displays and helped only about 10 customers (most were employees of neighboring stores). My bosses are kinda paranoid seeing as it's a new place and business is rather slow, so they usually call at least 4 times during my shift to check up. But no calls. Although a few phone calls from friends kept me busy. Then around 3 I was getting kinda annoyed because I had to go to my dad's work and work for him at 4:30 and I wanted to nap a little in between. I called Nita again around 4 and she finally picked up and she says "Oh! Guarang knew I wasn't coming in today! I was sick yesterday and I don't feel too good today either. I'll call him and let him know. So sorry!" So she calls him and then he calls me and says he's on his way back from his reg. job (manages a few of the hospital sleep labs in CT) and he'll be there around 4:30 and I told him as soon as he got there that I HAD to leave right away to get to my other job. He finally gets there, pays me and I go straight to the phone company and worked til 6:30. Almost a 12 hour day. I was totally shot.
THEN today......ugh......he tells me to come in at 7 again and stay til 3 because he had a doctor appt. I didn't mind...I got through it the other day so I figured I could do it again [It's actually quite peaceful to be there when you get a few customers every so often but basically just relax.....on the contrary, it's also nice to stay busy and feel like your accomplishing something rather than sleeping all day and bullshitting through the late night with friends and doing it again the next day]. Anyways, today I get there about 5 minutes before my boss does and we go in and make the coffee, tidy up for about 20 mins and then Nita calls and says she's coming in for 8:30!! I was like umm....ok. And he apologizes and hands me $10 for an hour/inconvenience....so for that I can't really complain. But thank god I live so close (unlike certain other jobs I used to work taking me a 1/2 hour to get to)other wise there'd be hell.
I need sleep. Night fucking night.
