Work has just been draining all of the life right out of me. With the Christmas rush beginning, I’ve been running myself ragged every single night. Unfortunately, it seems that even working to the point of collapse isn’t enough, because there’s still so much to do when 7 AM comes rolling around and I have to go home. Last week I ended up staying late three nights in a row to help with clean up, but I had to stop because it was throwing my sleep patterns off and I was sluggish when work started the next night. Even now, I’m still really tired when I wake up. Of course, I know things would go easier if some of my co-workers would pick up their end of things, but… that would be too simple, wouldn’t it? It’s rather disheartening when I’m working my ass off to get my freight done, to look up and see three or four of them just standing around chatting with each other. I get so frustrated that I actually want to throw a temper tantrum, complete with stomping my feet and screeching. My boss isn’t doing anything about it, which is even more irritating. It’s getting to the point where I’m going to morph into the One True Highlander and slay them all. FML.
I went to the doctor last Tuesday, and the test results that have come back have all been clean. I have to go and get a couple of tests redone, because there was some blood mix up at the lab and the samples they took were too old for accurate results. Which… made me very angry, because now I have to go and get more blood taken. I’ve decided I’m not going to do that until Monday morning, though. My dad is going in to get his blood work done, so I can just get a ride with him instead of walking across town to go to the hospital. Cursed hospital. I am so sick and tired of that place. Hopefully after this, I won’t have to go back for a very long time.
I’m so behind on my preparations for this Yuletide. This entire month just kind of snuck up on me. It seems that most of my presents will be given after the fact, because I can’t seem to financially recover from seven months of unemployment. I know that I eventually will, but not until January at least. It’s a good thing that I don’t have too many people to buy for – my family (I figure that this year I’ll get my dad/brother/sister something big and then something separate for my mum), David, Sean, Tamara and Kaylie. Which… is a considerably smaller list than last year.
And now, off to sleep. 
Wow… I had coworkers like that once and I totally stood up to them. The guys stood around and told racist and sexist jokes while I closed down the entire place and cleaned up, and then when there was only the floor and the trash left I signed out and they had the nerve to COMPLAIN about that. You can imagine what I said to my boss when she tried to pull me out of the middle of a practice exam to finish work ing!
Sounds like they appreciate you just about as much as they appreciated me. If I were you I’d start slacking a bit and telling them to get their asses back to work. If they go to the boss, what are they gonna say? That they were interrupted in the middle of a “Days of our Lives ” or “Guiding Light” argument? (btw it’s totally Days, lol)
Also, AMA-ZING layout.
What are those guys?
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I work nights @ Walmart as well. It’s fucking horrible. Especially when so many people dick around, and get away with it.
Hey you
Did I already tell you I love this layout?
It’s sexy!
Fuck man, whenever my ‘fellow’ employees used to do that whole standing-around-talking thing, I’d usually start dicking around myself too. Just totally slack off and instead lounge around behind the cash register. Why bother if they’re not, right …?
Just as long as no one catches you, you should be good! Don’t work so hard, it’s not worth it, man. They can fuck themselves.
And holy shit. This layout is fucking radical. I love it!
I know the feeling of doing your best at work when no one else is. At my job I’ve organized several sections of the store so the customers will find what they need easily but unfortunately people I work with tend to not care about that and just put stuff where there’s room, rather than where it’s supposed to be. It’s come to a point where I don’t even try to fix it any more because everything I organize will still be a mess two days later anyway.
Is this a new layout or am I trippin?
Even if it isn’t and I’ve already comment.. I love it. So hot.
Ok, I already did. LOL. But I really love it that much >.<
