I'm so tired I'm crying. My whole self is buzzing. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep. I've been gritting my teeth for several days, and have bitten my lips raw from a combination of pain and stress.

That's all. One of these days maybe I'll have a proper update. Sometime after I have a proper sleep.

My career aspirations include sitting down.

Can you take a sick day? It sounds as if you need one!

I could, I guess. I don't get sick pay. (I had a customer berate me for being at work while sick because I might get her sick. I wanted very badly to ask her where she'd been when they'd tried to introduce legislation forcing employers to provide paid sick time off to employees, but was too horrified to put the sentence together.)
But, worse, there are no other employees at the store to cover my shift. So they'd just have to be desperately short on one of the busiest shopping days of the year. And I like them, so I won't do that to them.

I'm still at work. It's been 9.5 hours. I'll be leaving once this machine rewinds the paper, which it sounds like it almost did. (Well, once I do another 20 minutes of teardown.) It's enough to make me wish I got paid extra for overtime.

You are so conscientious! I don't think they deserve you.

Ha, I write these things down to remind myself to find a new job before next Christmas.
