Fun weekend for me...

Wow, it's been a while since I last wrote. I've been really busy with school and work. My feet hurt. A lot. Foot bath for me, and maybe ice cream. Not much to report. Not a lot has been happening. Star Trek: DS9 marathon for me all day tomorrow. Maybe I can figure out what the hell is going on in that series... That and I have to clean my room, and read my book, and NOT WORK! Yay, day off...So I think my days off will be Monday and Thursday's, but we shall see. Emily first agreed to take my shift, and then yesterday told me she didn't want to take my shift, and gave me some bullshit story about her having plans with her mother, so I didn't get to go to the party tomorrow, but now that I think about it, making that money wasn't all to bad. I had the customers from hell today. I won't go to into detail, mostly cause I'm lazy and want to go to bed....yes at 6:30. But anyway, these customers came in and kept comparing all our samples, and the stain they had made to some stuff at Home Depot. After an hour and a half, I wanted to slap them and tell them to go to FUCKING HOME DEPOT. But I didn't, cause I like my job...most of the time. And then they bought like 10 cans, and are determined to get them stained at the other Wal Mart closer to their home. I explained that they may not tint them for them, but whatever, the fucked up woman did not want to listen. Not my problem, although I do need to check with Rob on the whole tinting issue, and retinting and stuff. Now that I am bitching about work, I got yelled at by Patty from foods today. What had happened was that Alex in sports had gone on his Lunch, and I was really backed up and having problems. So I called Matt from the food department, who used to do hardware. It wasn't like I called him to socialize, I really needed help. So Matt comes over and helps me, and Patty calls me and tells me that I shouldn't be calling Matt, I should call a Duty Manager, etc. I'll tell you, I wanted to quit right then and there, I did not take this job to be yelled at by some middle age woman who can't doing anything better with her life than work at Wal Mart. I was also almost in tears at this point, I blame the female hormone's. But I must admit, that Patty's saving grace was her apology to me a few moments later. Matt must have told her I was upset at her yelling at me.
On a cooler note, I love it that my Manager likes some of the things I do. One of these display things got ripped off on Saturday night, so I tried to fix it by screwing it back in a using glue and stuff, but it wasn't going to work, so I explained it to him, and he was impressed that I had even tried and tried different things too. I also pulled out the paint machine and cleaned behind it. That was a big job. I was still working on it today. Anyway, off to bed for me. More tomorrow, in between episodes of DS9!
