When You Work Retail... · 2:15pm Jul 25th, 2016

...never assume that you have any free time to do anything ever.

I was going to do double updates today, but that's not going to happen now. I apologize. Someway, somehow, I'll catch up this week. I appreciate y'all's patience.

No rest for the wicked.

I have worked in retail since I was 19 yeah I know how it feels to be worn out by the work they put you through. Crappy pay, bad hours little to no time off if any. Yeah it sucks. well like the saying goes no rest for the wicked

RETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL :raritycry:

No worries. Only this morning did I read all the chapters that came out during the weekend, so it was already kind of a triple update for me.

Spent the time waiting to read through the things tavi says
Everyone should ;~;

Cooking can be worse.
No, wait.

Wickedly awesome!
(That's the RIGHT a word)

I suppose I'm lucky to have such steady hours despite working in fast food. It's probably cause I've been there for years. The hours didn't used to be steady.

Eh...ya gotta do what ya gotta do, man.:applejackunsure:

Hear hear.

Doesn't help with this heat, either.

Wait, you have a job?

and you update daily?

Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ dude, I'd kill to have the writing skills you do.

At least you get to have money to spend on all that free time~

Don't sweat it. I need the time to catch up on Shellstrings because I KEEP PUTTING IT OFF.

:facehoof: I'm so disappointed in myself.

You know, there are times when I'm forced to crawl around in spaces designed waaay too small for a fat American inside of my cnc machine when something breaks. Covered from head to toe in coolant and oil with tiny steel shavings cutting into my skin, I always have the same thought:

At least it doesn't involve any kind of customer service.

I don't know how you guys do it. Get some rest you crazy lemur!

4111952 damnit I was gonna say that.

4112220 my mom's trucking company ships the CNC machines you crawl in.

11 years in the trenches of retail. 7 of them in direct customer tech support.

Never again.

You need a better job or to apply what you know to self-employment.

Why not work at Disney?

Don't worry about it, believe me I understand Retail work quite well, we all get those days.

That moment when you have a phone call five minutes before close and everybody looks at it but nobody's gonna answer it
