So I almost freaked out at work today. I was sick as ass, and I asked for a second to go get some cold medicine as soon as I clocked in, and it took the dudes at the drugstore FOREVER to help me, so my boss was all irritated that I was out, but on the clock for 10 minutes as soon as I came in. Then I had to work all sick. I would have thought about calling in sick, but it was short notice and I need the hours, and, for some goddam reason, I care about not being an asshole at work.
Then I'm finally starting to feel better, and all of a sudden everyone and their ass shows up to rent movies, so I have to get on register at the same time as trying to bring out all the returns from yesterday that never got done plus trying to catch up with the ones from today. hundreds. ick.
The thing that really annoyed me was that as soon as like 3 other employees showed up, and I was supposed to be starting to get ready to go for the day, the manager and assistant managert start putting together next weeks' schedule, and they're too busy to help any of us out or let me clock out. So I say somethign and I'm like "I'm off new year's, right?" because I had discussed it earlier (I closed the day before christmas eve, christmas eve until 1:20am, and christmas day til 1:00am) and he's all shocked that I expected it. so I ALMOST freaked out. but then he told me he let me go at 8:00, so I was happy and conctent. Also, the cold seems to be getting it's ass kicked by my meds. woohoo.
-have I mentioned that retail sucks?
