I Want to Go Fly

I'm so high right now, writing this should be extremely interesting. That should give you an idea of how my day went. I knew almost as soon as I got to work tonight that I was going to need to knock myself out early tonight.

I was in a half way decent mood on my way into work. It was only a 4 hour shift, and I wasn't expecting it to be busy with the Super Bowl on. I made the mistake of looking at yesterday's numbers (to see where the store ended after I left), only to discover that business picked up after I left and everyone slayed their day. Except me. I was sent home early. I had a moment where I just kind of lost my cool. I feel like I've been demoted yet again, and Kaitlin is getting the hours and preferential scheduling that used to me by luxury. My position granted me some privileges, but I'm also held at a much higher standard of performance. I vented to Candace about it, and she totally understood where I was coming from. It felt good to get it out, but she's not the one I need to talk to about it. Sara is.

Despite going in on a negative note, my day ended well. I had better sales than I'd anticipated (ending neck and neck with Kaitlin who'd been there a couple hours longer). I zenned out on the panty bar to pass the time. I guess I was getting to more customers than I thought I was. Jenna let me go at closing, which was great.

I made a shitty (literally) discovery tonight. I stopped to get gas and remembered that I've been out of windshield washer fluid for a few days now. So, I bought a gallon in the mini mart. When I popped the hood to put it in, I discovered that every flat surface inside my engine is covered in rat shit. Back in December we had to spend $600 getting Snookums' car fixed because rats chewed through his wiring and insulation. Then they chewed through the radio wires in the Impala. Now I discover they're hanging out in my engine. No. It's not okay. A few weeks ago I could have sworn there was some kind of bad smell coming through the vents. It dissipated, but I remember it well. I hope it was just their poop, and not a dead rat in my engine. Vegan or not, I don't want the little bastards around! I asked for suggestions on Facebook from my vegan friends and one recommended leaving our hoods up so the engine isn't warm and cozy. It's worth a try.

Okay, I can't focus any longer. I want to go fly..........
