Real Work - The Half-Time Show
Jul. 18th, 2007 07:43 pm
Last night I told people that I wanted to go back to opening boxes, for that young'un was ticking me off. I can't stand being around him. My gut tells me these things.
Without asking, I got sent to toys. I do some computer tutorials first though. Once in a while I have to fit these in so that I complete the entire computer course eventually. I did the tutorial on sexual harassment. I was reminded of Creeper, who was at work, but was thankfully assigned to a wholly different part of the store.
Toys is still overwhelming. The amount of water toys has trickled down, but the amount of product intended for the Christmas toy rush is insane. About 80% of it is this stuff. We're not supposed to put it out yet simply because there's no room for it.
I had been feeling somewhat unwell to my stomach even when I started the shift, and by meal-time (3AM) it was so unbearable I asked my supervisor to let me go home. It wasn't that I had lost my appetite or anything (I could still eat), but my tummy felt like it was burning. A co-worker asked if a little affliction was worth giving up the $2 (or something) attendance bonus for, but if there was hardly anything I could do in the toy section, and I'm not doing this for the money, then I would rather get some rest.
When I got home I took some antacid, but it didn't seem to help that much. When I woke up after about 10 hours of sleep I felt a little better...
Unfortunately I think it's back now; I'm not sure what affliction it is, but I will try to endure - maybe if I wish for renovation work tonight I'll be busy enough sweating to ignore the burny-tummyness.
