10 Hours. Again

February 26th, 2008 by Tabatha

First, let me say that I love my job. I really really do. I’m even still adjusting and I feel like I’m going to be there a while. My boss is a sweetheart and most of my customers are awesome. They’re informative and nice and not condescending at all like retail customers tend to be. I like to help them and they like to help me. It;s a happy relationship.
Now…

I worked a 10 hour shift today, so of course I was irritated every once in a while. People kept coming in and asking for a miracle. They wanted to lose weight without working out. Eat a healthy breakfast out of one scoop of powder. Completely detox their body without taking any pills or drinking anything gross and also without changing their diet or lifestyle. I think all the crackpots picked today to come in. Not a good day, either. I’m broke, crabby, and tired. Sharon left me some samples of Muscle Sandwiches (delicious deliciousness) to try out  so I had lunch today. It’s like she read my mind! Or my wallet…

Also, I sometimes think people come in just to give me a pop quiz. A coworker has confirmed this suspicion. She says it happens all the time.

I thought this post would be less vague, but I just don’t feel up to it. Tomorrow I work another 10 hour shift. it will be nice when someone else is hired. I’ll have a few less hours, but 10 hour shifts will be less common. I do get a three day weekend every other weekend, so that’s pretty neat.

Bedtime.

    10 hour days, that is crazy long. I am dead tired after 8!

    I have always wanted to go into one of those vitamin and mineral type stores (GNC? - I cant remember the name of it!) I feel a little intimidated as I do not know what I want!

    It sounds like you are really enjoying your job.

    It’s rather amazing how people think, isn’t it? Those who expect to get healthy overnight without actually changing the way they live their lives just baffle me.

    Like when that Alli pill came out and everyone flocked to it with expectations of weight loss by pill and not diet and exercise. Blew my mind, the sheer numbers of those people (especially since the Alli program says you still have to diet and exercise while taking it!).

    People are weird, man. Really fucking weird. And lazy as all hell.

    I’m rambling, aren’t I?
