Why am I not asleep yet? Because I'm stupid and an insomniac.
Work was horrible today. My co-worker didn't show up for her shift, so I manned the shop by myself today-- engravings, till, stock, questions, pick up, the lot. She called in an hour late to say she would be at work in about an hour (sad part is, this is nothing new), then called an hour and a half later saying that she wouldn't be coming in. She's so bloody unreliable. She said she was going to go out clubbing last night, so as far as I know, she didn't come in due to a hang-over. I talked to my manager today about it and she's said that she's going to fire her on the 24th, she just needs the extra body for now. But, god, I want to drop kick her in the face. Hard. She shows up to work for almost every shift at least an hour late. We don't even bother asking questions anymore.
You know what's not fun? Working a seven hour shift with no break. My manager was in shopping in the mall today, so she dropped by and took over for a few minutes while I ran and got food. I love her so much. Also, I got payed for an extra hour because I worked alone. Score.
On the down side, by the end of the day, I was so stressed that I messed up on two engravings-- the same thing, too. I had to do it twice and both times I did the engraving wrong. I was so embarrassed. I'll have to talk to Boss Lady tomorrow about that.
I'm just glad that I'm not closing alone tomorrow.
Completely unrelated note, I got my writing portfolio back. I'm so happy with the results. My teacher loved my work and has told me to start sending out some pieces to publishers. I think that's the best feedback I could have asked for. It was a huge compliment. I'm still working on the my main story, but it's been put on hiatus until I actually have time to dedicate to it.
Oh, oh, started watching Dexter (is it bad that I find this show hilarious?). I'm so into it. But it really reminds me of Death Note minus the fantasical elements. A serial killer who kills the "scum" of society, takes justice into his own hands, and also works for the very establishment that tries to catch killers. But, hey, I loved Death Note, so who am I to complain?
Based off of Growing Up Cullen, a mock sit-com which brings me never ending joy:
oxymoronassoc: MY GOD WHAT IS OCCURRING HERE? I CANNOT THINK THAT SOCIETY APPROVES OF SUCH THINGS!!!
saint_renegade: ARE THEY DOGS? WHO WOULD MAKE LOVE IN THIS WAY?
oxymoronassoc: THAT WOMAN SOUNDS AS IF SHE IS BEING GRIEVOUSLY INJURED
saint_renegade: ARE YOU SURE HE'S NOT HARMING HER?
saint_renegade: ARE WE SURE?
oxymoronassoc: and emmett is like YEAH, DUDE, I AM PRETTY SURE
saint_renegade: this woman was obviously touched as a child, emmett
oxymoronassoc: and then he and Jasper start to giggle like 12 year olds.
saint_renegade: why would you use her in such a way?
saint_renegade: she needs love, not a penis in her behind!
oxymoronassoc: THAT CANNOT BE GOOD FOR HER!!!!
oxymoronassoc: EMMETT THAT WOMAN IS CLEARLY SURGICALLY ENHANCED
oxymoronassoc: IT IS AN ABOMINATION
saint_renegade: why is this woman sleeping with the pool boy?
saint_renegade: WHAT COULD HE OFFER HER?
oxymoronassoc: HE CAN'T MAKE MORE THAN $22,000 A YEAR
oxymoronassoc: THAT WILL NOT SUPPORT HER
oxymoronassoc: I AM SUSPICIOUS OF THEIR ALLEGED LOVE
oxymoronassoc: IT IS UNPURE
saint_renegade: I DO NOT SEE THE CONNECTION HERE
saint_renegade: THIS FILM HAS FAILED TO MAKE ME BELIEVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP AT ALL
oxymoronassoc: EMMETT YOU CAN SEE THE BOOM MIC
oxymoronassoc: THE PRODUCTION VALUE IS SHODDY AT BEST
saint_renegade: IT IS LAZY
oxymoronassoc: COULD THEY NOT AFFORD MORE FABRIC FOR THE COSTUMES?
saint_renegade: FRANKLY, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS WAS MADE ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
oxymoronassoc: I DO NOT BELIEVE A LADY COP WOULD DRESS IN SUCH A MANNER
saint_renegade: I'VE SEEN BETTER STUDENT FILMS
oxymoronassoc: IT IS TERRIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL
saint_renegade: SHE HAS WORKED HARD TO BE RESPECTED IN A MALE DOMINATED FIELD
saint_renegade: SHE WOULD NOT THROW IT AWAY BY SLEEPING WITH FIVE MEMBERS OF THE FORCE AT ONCE
oxymoronassoc: WHY MUST WE SUBJUGATE HER IN THIS MANNER?
