But that said.. we recently lost an overnight worker. He went on to a better job. We're all happy/envious for him. Our schedule is turned upside down because of this, though, people moved around to fill in the holes.
Guess who is getting the short end of this stick - obviously I'm not hurting for hours, but the method of the scheduling is what is so frustrating to me. I'm on my 4th day in a row, out of 6 consecutive days of standing 7-8+ hours at a register, mostly selling lottery to old people coming from Alabama because it is illegal there and we're right by the interstate and that makes us stupid busy, especially in the summer when people are going to the beach. I don't have time to do much when I get home, because by the time I am home lately, I'm so exhausted I just want to sit down, and sleep. But then I wake up and I do it all over again. What bothers me most is that I shouldn't have to have all my days from week to week shoved together. We have people to allow for breaks - everyone else is getting one in between 3-4 days. We have one worker who, no joke, has sunday-thursday blocked out of her availability, because she 1. Has school Tuesday and Thursday (thats fine, normal), and.. 2. Refuses to work second and third shift, regardless of whether she is here with someone else, be it male or female, because for some reason in her mind people get shot, beaten, raped and all manners of nefarious things at night in a gas station..
I've yet to experience any of this and it is unlikely I will. That said, she could work -saturday-, but 'doesn't like to', so they rarely if ever do schedule her. But if they -did-, I wouldn't have to work 6 days in a row. She only works one shift every single week.. a mid shift on Friday, from 11-6, usually. Then complains they don't give her enough hours. Twitch. Even when she does work.. all she does is mop the fghjnrtoh floor where the DELI mops because that is THEIR job.. and then says tjyojnpyj.. stuff like how she is the 'only one' who ever does it, and she does it best. I do it all the time. Five times faster. And it doesn't take me half a container of floor cleaner to get it done.
Getting through these days would also be a lot better if my coworkers would stop suddenly deciding that they should walk off and leave me as the only cashier at a register for extended periods of time. Even the ones who weren't bad about it are now getting to that point where its like. Okay. I'd like a break now.
I get to look forward to next week being the same ordeal. Its five days, not six - that iss nice of them, but oh wait, I work 9am-7pm on Sunday. I take it back. I want to hurt someone.

You just get yourself a good sized stick and creep up at the mall entrance. Find a nice turtleneck and a fake mustache so they'll -never- know who it is. Anyway, you just creep for a while until a nice girl comes along and give her a good whack.
Now sure, it might take a while for her to come around to your way of things, but by the time you get back to your cave I'm sure you'll come up with some good arguments. It'll be love and marriage before you know it, buddy.
EDIT:
Actual rages:
1) I swore I was going to have more free time once summer started, but I haven't had more than two days free to actually be hanging out around here, which is a huge bummer. This is partially a love [see thread Soon(tm)] though.
2) Quitting smoking. Ffs. There's a reason they always said not to start smoking cigarettes. It's a slow process, and my little vapo-thingy is making it better (ahmg the flavors) but still a rage nonetheless.
Hopefully I adjust soon, Id like to be functional for a short while after work at least.
It's not Friday.

That moment when you realize that all those you could possibly call friends now are people you connect with through an online gaming community, most of whom you've never met and most likely never will meet; people who share an interest in something obscure but fun; people who at any given time can turn on a dime and be complete unicorns, because online identity is an excellent mask one can put on without adding any real risk to one's true identity; people you perhaps don't really know.
You can almost hear it. It's like the sound of glass shattering.
You'd be amazed at how many people knocked that shit off when I started laying some legit heat on them, lol.

Found out what it's like to play without lag.
Going to take a serious look at my internet plan when I get home.

My rage: I work for the next four days. I will be up at five every day and out of the house from sixish AM til around nine, nine-thirty, PM except Friday, on which I get off at six, and Saturday, on which I get off at noon. We have to be moved out of the apartment BY the first if we don't want to pay half-month's rent. I don't know when we're going to have time to do it all, even if my roommate -is- off Thursday. My last day is the third, and I really need the money to buffer the time between now and when I -find- another job, so I don't want to take any more time off but if I don't, I don't know how the hell I'm going to find time to finish de-bugging my stuff before we move. :<
