Chaos, Panic Disorder . . .

I really need a ded icon.

But anyway. Work's been the same. Same old stress. Same old problems. I did learn Monday that the store manager has had at least 35 written complaints from the customers (I assume the regulars) and the area overseer (a former store manager who will not take no for an answer and won't back down from anything (well, there are exceptions but in this case he won't back down) has been there almost 24/7 while the store manager is there. Why? Because of her. Because FINALLY someone's gotten a brain that she's destroyed our store like she did her last one and that no one likes her, workers or customers and that she is the root of all of our problems (yes, the corporation does cause a lot of unneeded stress thanks to their stupid 'oh, this looks good on paper, we'll put it into action, not taking into consideration human variables'.) So maybe, just maybe, she'll be going. Not soon. Definitely not before the end of the year (unless a REAL miracle happens.) But soon. He's really sticking it to her about that and every little thing she does wrong. I can't help but smile at the fact he's now on her case and things will finally get done.

However, in the meantime, she's gotten it into her head that we need to lock the walk in and that a manager needs to be there at all times when a worker gets stock from it. Padlock went on today (or yesterday, not sure since it's been a while since I had to get into either the walk in or freezer) and it was a real inconvenience. I suppose the original reason was because the closers were being too obvious about heisting product (trust me, it happened when I closed and I know it's only gotten worse) but they've got the lock/supervision on 24/7 which, as the maintenance person said, is really a slap in the face for the honest day workers (not that all the closers are bad, just they've ruined the reputation of all of us.) They had a manager's meeting today and the opening manager had me take and do a complete freezer pull but keep it in the freezer, without supervision. Took me an hour (give or take) with a few exceptions of where they had to keep getting me (and good thing because I was frozen to the bone by the time I got done) for manager stuff because the other two with manager privileges had no idea what to do >.< Ah well. I never bothered to lock the walk in until I was done. I didn't care. I trust the day workers.

Besides work still draining me I've been, in the past two weeks, working madly on candy for the craft shows. I haven't made a full count but I'd say, judging by the packs of wrappers I've gone through, I've made at least 500 pieces of chocolate/vanilla (and some pure vanilla) candies (the kind on popsicle sticks) candy @.@ Oh, and two 'candy houses' that are a whopping 4oz of pure chocolate (with vanilla (aka white chocolate) 'decorations'). It's a good thing I really don't like eating candy like that or I'd eat me right out of any profit.

I did take a break today and played WoW. Worked on a few lowbie quests Lianna still had. Cheated and bought two expert cookbooks and sent them to Uazuri and Nyokamchomo so they can go up. Didn't bother with a book for Mchangaumeme considering he's still at 13. I had done some work with Uazuri and stabled both Sifuri (the white lion Eccheyake (I think is how it's spelled)) and Nyeusikifo (the scorpid Sarkoth) to tame a generic thunderhawk (named Hewakutembea.) I was looking for the red serpent down around Camp T (I forget the name now) but since I didn't see him I figured I'd go for a generic one. I haven't tamed a thunderhawk before. I figure I might trade it in when she gets higher for the red serpent that's part of the quest out of Thousand Needles (I want to say his name is Aarakoka, but don't hold me to it.) They say try different combinations and I figure I'll try different pets, considering I have two more slots open. Not sure what I'll have for her other two or if I'll drop the scorpid or windserpent. I know when she gets high enough with enough points I want to tame one of the dino's down in Un'Goro. Though, by the time she gets that high I might change my mind >shrugs<

Right now it's late. I'm tired. Brain has shut off and I'm going to go in and go crash. Don't expect much of an update until sometime next week. I won't be online Friday or Saturday (at least until late Saturday) where Friday we have the first of two craft shows, from when we get there (hopefully close to 7am) until the mall closes at 9pm and then we go right back Saturday around 8ish and do it all over again, except this time at 5 we get to pack up and head home. I'll probably be brain dead Saturday night and Sunday so don't expect me to be too coherent if you see me online.

There's probably more I want to add but, meh, I think the bed is calling me more . . .
