Closing was horrible tonight. Two people called out sick. The new girl Tiffany, who we all hate, (maybe because she's gorgeous. Definitely because she is a bitch) got into an altercation with a customer while she was at the cash register, and and was sent home early. Like 3 hours early. Lets just say she displayed said bitchness to a customer and he went directly to our MOD (manager on duty) and went all ape shit.
He kept calling Tiffany a 'snot nose' ( who uses that any more) and that he would go to corporate to make a complaint. I am sad, not really, to say that this may be the last of Tiffany. Once a customer requests a termination via corporate, the managers really don't have a choice. After the customer went on a 10 minute tirade about 'snot nose', the MOD pulled Tiffany off of the cash register, took her to the back and sent her home early. This means that we closed with two booksellers, two cafe people, and a manager. What the fudge.
I hate closing. After these late shifts, no matter how tired I feel, I have this weird energy that prevents me from sleeping. Because I can't sleep I eat. But then my stomach is all "you just ate something, you don't think I am going to let you sleep, right? ". I mean it's 12:30 right now, my feet hurt, my eye lids are heavy, and I want nothing more but to crawl under the covers and sleep. But I can't. And I won't and the sandwich that I have in the fridge is calling my name. And because I know I have a day off tomorrow, I will not only sleep in late but I will sleep all day. If I can.
I have no hours this week. The holidays are over, which means the hours are sparse and the stress starts to set in. I have become the wage whore I never wanted to be. Because I am clocking in 3 days this week (and one on-call shift) I have started to work on my resume, since I need to make more money and my job sucks. A year out of college, and the old resume just isn't doing it anymore. So yesterday I started fiddling with the format, finding the right words and sentiment to put on the page, and so far this thing is looking really good.
With the time I have off this week, I see it as the perfect opportunity to fill out some job applications while I wait for word (any time Max) on the Nonion internship. I have nothing better to do. Maybe I should try getting some sleep first though. Yeah, sleep. My bed is really warm, my pajama pants are somewhere and I am done with tonight and all of it's craziness.

MAMA BLING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How I have missed you, I spent the past few days trying to find you. I lost your blog address, and when my blog got deleted. it all went to hell.
Its been way way WAY to long, since we talked last. I went through all of my old e-mails, to find any trace or hint of your blog url. some old correspondences , and it really took me back. If we lived in the same city or even close by. I would be picking you up and taking you out for coffee, dinner and catching up :)
I hope to talk to you soon
Ryan.
OMG!!!!
I think it's been like two years. Or something. Or at least it has felt like it.
I've graduated school.Yeah! and I moved to New York last august. I am pursuing writing and television production so maybe my name will be out there one day.
I've missed you and reading your blog. We do have so much to catch up on.My email is still the same. Feel free to write anytime. Don't be a stranger.
Its been way to long,god I have missed talking to you :)
still the same AOL one ?
yeah, it's still the aol email address. I've been told that I need to have a more mature email name, but I just don't have the heart to get rid of the one I use now. I've had it forever!
email whenever. It's been a while, so there will be a lot of things to talk about =)
a customer complaint to corporate means termination? DANG. i never knew that.
you can have my hours. after putting in endless days on my dissertation stuff, the last thing i want to do is go work for those corporate bitches.
i hate closing, too. somehow, once the doors are locked behind the last customer, my will to live just vanishes, and i get really whiny and complainy and lazy. it's terribly unbecoming.
if you don't hear from the Nonion in a few days, I'd give old Max a call and inquire. It's good to show interest and initiative. Don't be pushy, obviously, but inquiring about the position is totally within your rights.
it usually doesn't, but she had so many write ups one more complaint pretty much would end her time at the bookstore.
Closings also sucks because while th customers get to go home, we all have to stay. It doesn't seem fair. I want to be like 'shouldn't the customers stay and clean up after themselves'. But I guess that wouldn't work.
I hope to hear something back from the nonion next week. The two people i interviewed with wont be back until the 11th, I think. So fingers crossed on that one. I will definately email them though if I don't hear anything after that. I KILLED that interview. I would be shocked to be turned down twice.
