Oh man, today sucked. I have a sore throat that
started last night. My mom wanted me to go to their homeschool
supply place and sign them up for the field trip instead of doing my
normal chores. I was all for that. I left at 1 and had to be at work
at 3. I got there and filled it all out with the help of a mother
and her daughter nearby. When I was done, it was 2, meaning I had an
hour to kill. I wasn't about to go home, only to leave for work 10
minutes later, so I went to work. I got there and Phil, with the
other ICS people, were getting carts. Inside, Pat, the people greeter,
said that there weren't any stockmen scheduled before me, so all day
they didn't have anyone getting carts except for other floor
associates who were asked to go help out. I went and asked if I
could clock in early, since I was there, and they sounded like they
need someone. Linda said we can't add any more hours since "they" are
the ones who took them away and they knew the consequences. So, I
just hung out and relaxed in the break room until 3.
When I came back, I had a headache and the hiccups. Each hiccup
made my head hurt. It wasn't hot, but actually a little cold. I
began to feel sore in my neck and shoulders. The cold made my skin
sensitive to accidental bumps against objects. I also felt really tired
and I just wanted to go home right then and sleep. Although I'm
content being single right now, times like this would be nice to
have a girlfriend who would give me a nice, long head and back rub
once I got home. Well, I felt like that the whole time at work and
it only got colder while I got more tired. The time went by really
slowly, too.
On my lunch, I went and sat in the padded rocking chair in
Furniture, and this lady came and asked how much the chair was. I
looked and couldn't find a price, but told her that she'd have to
buy me, as well, because I wasn't leaving the chair, lol. She found
the price and asked how much extra it was for me, too. I said,
"Enough for me to retire on." She agreed and said she'd write me a
check.
When it was dark, I was getting carts and heard this beeping
sound. I looked around and saw someone with a bag getting into a
car. The car drove off quickly. He had stolen something and ran out
the fire exit. Well, that was my amusement for the night.
It finally came time to go home. The people greeter told me I
should have gone home earlier because I didn't look well. Several
people asked me if I was alright. At home, I looked at the computer
and saw that my brother was playing a game. That made up my mind
whether to check my email, notes, and write this entry, or not. I
went right to bed.
