My Life Thus Far
Catch Up Entry
*This is a catch up entry. I couldn't write because our power was out.
The power went out 7 times at work. Just when we'd get the registers up and running, it would go out again. It was a vicious cycle for the better part of 4 hours. Of course, this made my sales take a huge hit. Customers left their items on hold and decided to come back later when the registers were up and running for real. I decided before I even walked into the building that whatever the day brought, I wasn't going to let it get to me. I have to stop letting it happen. My soul is being sapped by my deep seeded hate for working retail. Something's got to give and it starts with my attitude about it. I'd been doing better, but with holiday encroaching, I'm definitely slipping.
It really wasn't much of a surprise to find out that the power was out at home. Seems as though if there's even the most remote chance of a power outage, we lose it. We're the first to lose it, and the last to get it back. I decided to make the most of it, instead of being pissed off about it. What good would it really do? So, Snookums got a nice fire going, I stopped at Starbucks and got everyone hot cocoa, and I bought smores ingredients. We made smores in the fireplace. It was our evening's entertainment.
By the time we finished eating and making our smores, it was after 10pm. I tried reading by candle light, but between the flickering of the candlelight and the tiny print, it was giving me a headache. So, I got high, had a brief conversation with Snookums and went to sleep. The end.
