Is Christmas Over Yet?
We got the truck back after much begging of the repair guy to take a post-dated check. Himself thinks he got shorted on hours for his vacation, so the check that was sent to us was a lot smaller than we both thought it would be. His truck runs, so everyone is happy. All we need now is get my truck an oil change and we should be pretty good for awhile.
Yesterday I thought I was working until 7pm, but as it turns out I worked until 8. Normally that would be fine, but we still had people in the store at 7:45 (I even had one group of customers ask if I could make an exception to the mall hours. Not only that, but they asked if we could speed the machine up so it would take less than 20 minutes to process the negatives. Sorry, not going to happen) picking their portraits. We finally got them out, and picked up the cleaning. Another girl and I had already scrubbed the white backdrops while the customers were still in the store, so all that was left was taking out the garbage and cleaning the floors. We couldn't clean the floors while people are still in the store, so as soon as they left, one of the new girls started sweeping and everything. We got everything done, but the manager still had to run a bunch of stuff on the computer, so she had us leave as soon as we were done with everything else. We were a mad house all day (hence the customers still in the store after we close), especially since we had a camera break and we were triple-booked pretty much all day. The last weekend before Thanksgiving. I can only imagine what the weekend after Thanksgiving will be like.
I have a math test tomorrow in class, and I don't think I'll do all that well. We've been doing the kind of math that only works when the moon and stars are in perfect alignment, and the he-goat has been sacrificed to the proper gods. You only multiply across when we have a large earthquake on the other side of the world, and the only time you add down is when we actually have peace in the middle-east. This is the kind of math I will probably never get, but I've been able to squeak by with some very lucky guesses.
Well, I have to study for that test now, and I start work pretty soon, so I must sign off here.
