Well.. I just got in from work a while ago. Today was one heck of a day. And, I do often feel like complaining there.. because last several weekends.. and this one included-are feeling a LOT like season time.. meaning Christmas. When you work in retail, a lot of people call Christmas "season". .... that's when our stores make the most money. well.. to be so busy and always there late then isn't so bad. you expect it.. but, it's barely october.. and here we are.. every friday/satuarday night being there two hours later than we should be.. completely understaffed... and. the sad part is we have been hiring in more staff... but.. still we feel understaffed. It just stinks. they frequently ask me to pull 12 hour shifts. I hate doing them because i'm a tiny person. Those long shifts really take a lot out of me. Then, this week, i look at this week's schedule to find out that i only have one day off as opposed to my normal three days off... suckage.. nothing but suckage.Before i had my son.. I could always work like crazy... used to one of those workaholics almost.. but nowadays.. i just don't have the energy for it. and. 6day work weeks wear me out bad... i just abhor it.
Well, today was Geoffrey's birthday party. Oh.. and in our store was our district's head, Steve. rolleyes nothing like a whole bunch of added pressure. Luckily.. without knowing he was gonna be there, I had picked up a few extra things to make the day nicer.. turned out to be a stoke of luck to make me look good. ^_~ But.. man. those 5 hour long activities sure get tiresome. I really want to find a babysitting job during the week so i can cut back how much i work during the week and reduce it to weekends.
