Well, it's been...awhile since I last made an entry. Alot has been happening. Hours at the candy store had been DRASTICLY cut (we're talking, 1 day a week for me). So, being desprate for a job, I applied at a housing store just outside the mall. Got the job instantly, thankfully. The job starting out a bit confusing. It was a pretty big store, 3 major divisions of the store (Bed, Bath, and Housewares), and each section alone was difficult to get a hang of. Needless to say, I didn't do so well in the Bed area. Comforters, thread counts, material, sizes...geeze...bath wasn't so bad. But apparently, in the words of the manager "your towel folding skills stink." So I didn't fold towels much. I did best in housewares. But after a few weeks, my *true* talent was seen: cleaning. neutral Because of one good dead on a seemingly random day, set me up for what I was to do from then on. Clean, clean clean.

Sweep and mop the breakroom, keep everthing streight, clean out the fridge, clean the dirty, nasty microwave. Keep T.P. filled in the bathrooms, sweep the bathrooms, vaccum the WHOLE STORE (vestibule and office included)

*twitch* stressed I hate cleaning...I HATE HATE HATE HATE CLEANING!!!!!! That's all they really had me doing!!! Why? "You're the best at cleaning. You clean fast, and you clean well." apparently, after I was hired, the store (clean-wise) really raised up a notch or two. I was introduced to the district manager as the person who kept the store as good looking as it is. (ok, that's a good thing, to be noticed as someone who makes the store look good)

After working there for 81 days, I just couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't clean up one more mess, and I pretty much said "I quit." They can clean up their own messes. mad I'm not a maid. Nor will anyone treat me like that anymore. Want a maid? Get someone with a bigger temper fuse, 'cause mine is not very long.

But on a better note, I found out tonight that I'm getting more hours at the candy store. But why I'm getting more hours, I'm not so happy about. 'Sunny' is quitting, as of next Friday. "Ni" is also leaving, for a better job. Another girl was told by her doctor that she shouldn't be working 2 jobs...So...it's going to be me and M-sama until she can get another person hired and trained. But getting someone reliable isn't going to be easy. I've noticed that the past (nearly) 3 years.

Things are getting chaotic...very very chaotic. *sigh* Life is tough...
