Time Flies
When you're stressed out.
Himself has been stressed out because I wasn't getting any hours at my theatre. He ended up paying for everything, and we ended up not always having enough money for basic needs.
To solve this problem, I got a second job.
At first this second job was really nice. Great co-workers, fun work environment, and lots to learn. The only problem is the manager. She's nice enough, until you ask for time off. Then she turns into some kind of manager monster. I asked for my birthday off, but since I had the gall to be born a week before Valentine's Day, there was no guarantee I would get the day off.
Now the job is more of a pain.
It's retail again, but the nature of the job is kind of sensitive. I work in a sex shop. Not a place where people go to have sex or anything like that, but a place where people can buy things to make their romances even better. We sell toys. We have a no return policy on all toys (for pretty obvious reasons), but that doesn't keep people from trying. The other night we had a guy bring in a toy he and his wife bought about two seconds before. The package was torn open and he told us the toy didn't work. He was looking for a refund because his wife didn't want the toy after all. The problem with that is we don't do cash refunds at all. He changed his mind later on, but he tried really hard to get the refund.
The politics are minimal which is nice. I'm too low on the totem pole to be concerned about, and I have no desire to climb that totem pole at all.
The theatre has been quiet. Most of our clients are using student techs because they're trying to cut back on expenses. There have been a few issues with scheduling, and several of the adult techs are getting all the work while a few aren't getting any hours at all. Not fun.
Himself is enjoying his job, and his boss seems really cool. He told Himself to get onto FarmVille on facebook because he needs more friends. The Boss and his wife want to have Himself and I over for dinner sometime, and his wife already considers Himself to be a member of their family. That's the type of boss-employee relationship I really like.
The girls have been their usual furry, girly selves. Lil' Princess has decided that the floor is evil unless she's hungry or thirsty. She will make every effort to not touch the floor. If we set her on the floor, she'll jump up onto the first thing she can reach and look at us like 'but why did you do that? Why?' It's been the source of many giggles around here.
That's all (for now), folks!
