Uncle Du 22 Posted August 27, 2007 Ugh. I promise I will not take for granted this schedule that I have right now. *crosses heart* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted August 27, 2007 my guess is, opens right after closing and has three closing shifts in a row... opens right after closing would be kinda illegal... but three closes in a row is pretty close :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vergere 1 Posted August 27, 2007 I hated closing when I worked at an amusement park. Had to wait until every bloody visitor was gone before I could close up, then clean up the studio, then meander the park to the front to drop off the money we made. And they didn't even give us partners. >.< If people like scary places, try an after-hours amusement park at 2 am. With haunted house music playing in the building behind you. -shudder- I'm kinda happy I don't work there still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted August 27, 2007 my guess is, opens right after closing and has three closing shifts in a row... opens right after closing would be kinda illegal... but three closes in a row is pretty close sith i've done that. the loop hole is that the store closed at eleven, but it didn't mean that the dishes were done. and, you know, we all had to wait until they were done...sometimes at 12:30...and i had to be back between 5:30 and 6:00 am Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) That sucks. Here the law says that you must have 11 consecutive hours between shifts, So if I start at 6am one day, I can't work past 7pm the day before. Edited August 30, 2007 by Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted August 30, 2007 there's some sort of law here too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Durron 23 Posted August 30, 2007 Hmmm, well I'm getting over the flu, I'm working like 50-60 hours a week and going to school full time and I'm seriously SERIOUSLY in debt... like... 7,600 dollars and um I'm really hungry but can't keep anything down and had the profound realization that I can't afford to lose weight right now because I can't afford new pants, something I realized when I had to rig my apron strings to be my belt today because my pants were dangerously close to falling off... which should be a good thing I guess.... oh btw when I mean weight, I mean like 30 pounds and 17.5 inches lost over my body in one month.

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted August 30, 2007 if you need to get new clothes, i'd suggest consignment or second-hand stores. i've picked up jeans for less than $1 sometimes. that way you're not spending a fortune on clothes that will be too big for you in a couple months. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Durron 23 Posted August 30, 2007 yes but the problem is that even though I've lost lots of weight, I'm still bigger than jeans you can find there and i can't find kackhi's in my size yet and its for work... so they have to look pristine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted September 7, 2007 I wish we'd have a power cut... But then when we do, I still don't get to go early usually. In case it comes back on :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted September 7, 2007 when i actually start working in my field, i can get a day off if i spill Technitium on the cameras. not like i'd ever do that, of course....... yesterday was pretty good. the highlight of my day was helping Rob put together his new bed. it's one of those nice Sleep Number beds with the dual chambers so one side can be firm and the other can be squishy.

Mara 29 Posted September 7, 2007 I wish we'd have a power cut... But then when we do, I still don't get to go early usually. In case it comes back on Oh, we had to hang around for an hour doing nothing. Just in case. And waiting to see what the big bosses said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted September 7, 2007 yesterday was pretty good. the highlight of my day was helping Rob put together his new bed. it's one of those nice Sleep Number beds with the dual chambers so one side can be firm and the other can be squishy. You have to put those together yourself? What a rip off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted September 7, 2007 well, you have to put in the air chambers and the little foam frame thingies. it's not really that much assembly and it's easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ayingel 24 Posted September 8, 2007 my day's getting better ^^. btw, if anyone wants a heads up, we're calling parts of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and some other areas around Virginia next week, so if a laura calls from expedite resort marketing, or some resort, it's probably me ^^ but really, yesterday sucked...i found some random red area on the top of my head near the forehead and i don't know what it is and it really hurts...

Mara 29 Posted September 8, 2007 Heh. I tend to hang up on people, telemarketers or not, if they can't pronounce our last name. I'm just like "No, so and so doesn't live here. Sorry." 'Cause they don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted September 8, 2007 i use to do that too, but then we started to need to take them because the hospital couldn't pronounce our name half of the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
