Work
So, literally I feel like I've lived through at least 2 weeks in the past 3-4 days.
Sunday was literally the worst.
I went to work at I think 1p.m. or 11a.m. I don't even know when I started work on Sunday it was that long.
I worked 2 shifts, I was doing a favor for my MOD because shit was too crazy for only 2 people to work the shift. On a FUCKING SUNDAY! Are adults really so irresponsible now a days that they go to fucking blockbuster at 10p.m. to rent a fucking movie due in 24hours when they have work the next day. Fucking assholes.
I mean, I sat down twice. It was like 2 minutes in like a 10 minute span to smoke with my two co workers, separately because the moment we finally had no one in the store to take a break at 10:20p.m. and people decided to start swarming the store again. So, we did it 2 at a time so we would be safe. and because we really needed a talking break to just be bros.
It was SUCKY. So many people, so much running movies. My feet didn't even know what blood was anymore.
Now, it wouldn't have been as bad if it weren't for the fact that I had to work on Monday too. SO, I went in later at 2p.m. and I was only supposed to work until 9p.m., but my store manager was going to be short one and was going to be working alone so she asked me to stay and I did.
Man. It hurt. I couldn't even stop my face from frowning. It just hurt so much. I had a permanent scowl on my face when I wasn't dealing with people because it was all my mind could do to try and get over the matter that my feet were no longer cooperating with me.
All in all. I worked 22 hours in 48 hours. I'm happy for the hours more specifically the money. I get paid 7.80/hr so I'll have a lump sum of money from just.
I worked today too, and that was fun. I finally worked a morning shift and I didn't stay over time, nor was it at all crazy. It was a nice change.
But the morning shift on Monday and the closing time on Monday felt like days apart. I couldn't even remember what happen in the afternoon.
It was so insane and I have another month to go. I really like this whole, being naive to the entire register thing because it's less nerve wracking when it comes to voiding things and giving people credit and dealing with problem customers. Because I don't. I've gotten a few bad ones, mostly over the phone.
I'm cool and polite to them, but I'm not comfortable enough with the rules and regulations of blockbuster to feel completely at ease while dealing with a problem customer. I'm such a n00b that it is annoying to me that I have to keep asking for help.
I dunno.
I'm just tired all the time and I got the better schedule out of me and the other guy, who apparently no one likes because he is a sucky employee. He apaparently picked up the phone at blockbuster and said "hello?" instead of the ever annoying, Thanks for calling Blockbuster where the best in movies meets the best on tv with blockster and DISH, how may I help you?" And it was the District Manager, so she was pissed, so she called our store manager afterwards who then called the MOD who then proceeded to talk to the guy. It was a scandal.
So far I haven't done anything bad. I've accidentally lied to several people just because I didn't know that I didn't know how to do specific things.
Also, people suck at talking on the phone. They WHISPER into their receiver, and I'm just like the douche who is like, could you repeat that? Because you're talking like you're hiding from a fucking murderer.
So, yeah... Oh! Yeah, I have the better schedule. I work MWFSun. And the other guy works TTHSat. So I get more hours, and plus my manager likes me better. I don''t have beef with anyone, unless they hate me and my constant asking for help on things I still don't quite get.
I mean, I just do my job yeah? I run movies efficiently, I don't take a thousand breaks like the other guy and I am friendly enough. I try and work hard and tehy appreciate that.
I'm not looking forward to working a Friday, I'll be helping close, so it'll be long until the end.
On the bright side, I hardly eat because I don't get hungry unless I eat something, so I usually don't eat breakfast and I go to work and then get something afterwards, or if I work the night shift I just get home take a shower and eat like a yogurt.
I mean, it's probably not the healthiest, but the last week of college really expanded my stomach size and it's been difficult to coax it to going back down since I wouldn't feel full. So now with this half starvation thing my stomach is overcompensating and making my stomach size smaller. Which will help me eat normal portions and not still feel hungry.
I mean, I don't feel sick or anything. It's just a regular day of my life, I feel dehydrated sometimes, but that's just what happens when you talk, walk, and carry things all day.
It's not physically exerting, it's just never sitting down that's the issue. I mean, we literally never sit down, the only chairs in our store are the ones in the storage room and the bean bags for the kids to watch a movie in the kids section while the parents look for movies.
We sit on the floor outside when we or they smoke.
Which reminds me.
I don't condone smoking, but if you ever are like, what the hell, try everything once, smoke a menthol. specifically camel menthols.
I literally feel nothing smoking those. When I smoke I like the smoke part of it. It's a nice feeling. Which is why I prefer no filters. The two people I smoked with on Sunday had two types, one was a menthol smoker the other was a normal smoker. I smoke with normal first, and it was Marbolo and I don't really like the tobacco taste of their cigarettes. But it was something, especially after that day. And then I went outside with menthol girl and I literally felt nothing. If it weren't for the heat of the burning I would have thought I was just breathing after having a mint like 5 minutes ago.
So, if you don't want to choke, Menthols.
I prefer the hardcore cigarettes. The filterless. Specifically parliments because they are so smooth and "clean". Like you can taste the tobacco in a marbolo and camel non menthol. But, not a parliment. It's nice and smooth and just smoke.
It's beautiful really. But terrible for you since there is no filter.
Which is why I don't smoke often.
Unfortunately I don't have my daily dose of caffeine and sugar in one any more.
So, I don't have anything but smoking to take the edge off.
So, next pay period that's what I'm buying. A beautiful pack of Parliments.
One day I won't talk about smoking but, it's just what my co workers do ALL the time. They are addicted to smoking for sure. And I don't blame them in the line of work they are in. Some customers are just asses, and they have some tough personal things. But they get through it.
Anyways, I'm watching The Proposal and it is just as hilarious the 3rd time you watch it as it was the 1st time.
