My Life Thus Far

There Is No Joy In Retail

There is no joy in retail. Well, not very much. And the encounters are few and far between. I had one of those days where I didn't feel like my numbers matched the amount of effort I was putting forth. It's basically a game. One I'm very good at, but when others aren't playing fair, it sucks. I had an associate stepping on my toes, taking customers out from under me, and basically using me to further their own gain. Shitty. I wish there was something I could do that was more in line with who I am, who I want to be, and what I want in life. I have no idea what that something is, but I hope it comes to me eventually.

I have one day left of work before my 3 day weekend. I still don't really know why I got 3 days off in a row, but I'm not complaining. I'm feeling burned out, and I could probably use more than just 3 days off, but I'll take what I can get. I miss working part-time. Short shifts. I'm not in a place financially where I can do that right now, but man I wish I was. Or if I was working retail, it was at least the type of place I'd want to shop. I don't go into VS if I'm not working. It's not me anymore. That's sometimes tough to admit, since I do feel like in some way it's part of my identity. I've worked there so long.

All of a sudden, I'm not feeling well. Weird. I mentioned to Snookums that I was cold, so I think he turned on the heat. Which made our bedroom swelteringly hot. He's since turned it off, but I still feel a little nauseous. Ew. I'm just going to go to sleep.
