i really thought we'd go the distance

Raise your hand if you just put in a ten-hour day at a bookstore during the last-week-of-school-buyback/ten days to Christmas rush, in which you got only four hours of sleep in preparation for and at one point proceeded to have $126.25 stolen from right under your nose.

*raises hand*

Just me, then?


I have a final to study for, but I think I've earned a couple hours to myself after the horrendousness that was today. GRUMBLEGRUMBLE.

Yikes, that's awful. I hope your professor emails you. She should take pity on your poor-almost-run-over soul.

It was work's money. I was assured over and over that it wasn't my fault, but I still feel like crap. Cause if I'd been paying better attention to the four hundred people in line, I would have noticed. GRRR.

You feel like crap about that... I was blamed for $40 going missing once, formal warning and everything. The manager stole it. He was caught stealing out of someone else's till. Bastard.

If they are going to make you work your ass off like that, then they have to accept responsibility that you won't be 100% alert at all times.
