Last night a tall, blonde girl ( probably at least 17) came in, and wandered upstairs. I figured her for a uni student, and didn't think much of it.

Minutes later, an older woman came in frantic, and asked if we'd seen her. Upstairs, I said.

On the way out, mama was fretting and panicking to the girl "I thought someone had snatched you!"

Good GRIEF. She was probably trying to make an escape from you, overprotective lady.

Last night at work I almost quit when it was discovered I'd been booked in 4-12, 12-8.

Everyone else has been switching off shifts for exam prep. Everyone else has a goddamn student loan which means they don't NEED to work to survive except me, DING DING DING! Screwed again.

Ok, my term was screwed from the start with the -25 weather my lungs can't tolerate, then the extended sick, and so I'll be talking to an advisor on monday to see if there's something miraculous I can do, ( ie list those courses as audited and waive the marks).

People don't GET that I only took the saturday shift because it was short and I was assuming that would be the only one i'd be covering, NOT...ALL OF THEM. I'm equally pissed because everyone goes "bla bla it's STUDENTS!" and I want to scream HEY FUCKFACE, I"m A student AND I"M getting screwed here.

The owner's pissed on my behalf...we have how many staff and NO one can cover?

86 more days till we are SO gone ( mid to late july, so maybe 100 days max).

Can't fucking wait.

Anyway. Will be hardcore studying at work, I told manager as much and no one's really of a mind to complain, either. came home after work the other night when it was just me, when it's to be 2 cashiers, and last night, slept 16 hours, and then 3 more, so I don't feel too bad.

Fuck. If I wanted crazy long shifts, insane customers, verbal abuse, and being essenially on call, I'd go into medicine. This shit for 8 an hour is balls. ( I don't think I'm the medical sort, i honestly am not that sort of people person.)
