Assistant manager took the store manager to task noting that I "pulled their ass out of the fire twice already".

And the dim cosmetics girl in the staff room painting 5 coats of lacquer on her nails, stunk up the place so much I cut short my break, Yes lass, that's why I look like SHIT, because I don't do my makeup every moment of the day, and during breaks. Seriously. ( they sometimes act like us less dolled up clerks are lesser beings. )

Anyway. Long day. Busy day. Someone doesn't know how to order stock so we're stuck out of the stuff we sell, and scads of stuff we don't. It's a grand scenario.

One dude was ' I don't LIKE THIS NEW STORE." Ok, I said, you're not the first to voice that. "DON"T YOU WANT TO HEAR WHY?" No, I said, not really. There's nothing I can do about the doubling of space, wider aisles, better lighting and selection. If you want the old dusty, cramped, miserable store, you are truly, ever so shit out of luck.

Seriously, what makes these people think they have the right to demand things remain as they were? There's some serious self centeredness when a business expands to cater to the populace and all they do is BITCH about it.

Note: what store, open on good friday, easter sunday and easter monday and hell, easter tuesday too, to keep you from starving over the weekend? Us. Thanks. Kiss my shiny metal ass.

I'm sort of tempted by SMU's pre university math prep class. I dunno. They don't use a clobbered together text, it's not all that expensive, and they have 2 instructors.

Will contemplate for a few days, and decide soon. I think it runs 6 weeks, but I'm not sure if some of my math skills are up to it yet. practice on the ipod games has helped, but enough?

Lets play wind up the fool and watch him 'splode!.

Is the whole Zombie Jebus thing over yet? One succession of chocolate related holiday after another has left me with a raging addiction to Cadburys, which I seem to have acquired in england. Erg.

Found a book reader for my ipod that neatly scrolls by simple tilting of the pod. Ingenius, really.

Today: study for exams, clean house.

Manager of awesomeness bought me a magazine I was eyeing that had cupcake recipes in it. Rawk. Will have to make baked goods. ( in my defense, it's to keep morale up because if more staff quit, I'll wind up having to mainline red bull, and camp at work, just to cover shifts and that I do not want. We're SO stupidly short staffed its unfunny.)

ordered a heap of hacky sack rings. Don't ask how many I'm making for dragoncon, but know that we sold out every single one of the 25 I brought last year and THIS year? bringing more.

I'm slowly digging myself out of the backlog of work I didn't do in march. I only have two weeks before I'm done with Dal.

( they did a study to find out why people dropped out and where they went. Turns out most of them are leaving for other schools. No shocker there.)

Anyway. Back to the studyins. I'm tired today, can't seem to get focussed.
