binarystarsystem I just completely forgot to tell anyone not on twitter or tumblr. It was.... bad. Every coworker was some level of "I want to kill myself" or "I want to kill the customers" or "If I (a manager) die, you guys can close the store". The store did really well, but all of us were dying inside even from the fitting room - and we were actually on top of it too!
It's a quieter week, work-wise. Except for the fact that I basically got exploited on Tuesday. Worked 6 straight hours with only a 15 minute break about 2 hours in because I made sure to ask and then didn't get another break even though I'm fairly certain it's both against policy and probably against labor laws. The manager in charge texted me an apology, and i get it that they can't control other people not showing up to do their jobs, but I'm still rather understandably salty. I hate it when I end up being main cashier because someone else calls out or straight up doesn't bother coming in, because shit like this happens. Usually I only miss out on a 15, not a meal break, but this time I did and I'm.... I'm considering talking to corporate. I don't know if I will. It sounds like a lot of trouble, and I don't want that stress.
In other news, I've been trying to encourage any friends that are participating in nanowrimo... even though I should also technically be writing. But I already wrote more than I expected, so I'm considering it a win. Whether I'll fudge the numbers/words I report in order to actually be dubbed a winner..... I haven't decided just yet but I suppose I ought to. Winning doesn't actually matter to me, honestly. I do hope my previously mentioned friend (the mutual crush) manages to finish on time. They've been pushing themselves so hard and they're doing so well! I'm really proud of them, and I take every opportunity to tell them that.
