2:30 am - this makes 20 hours

I got my first peice of mail from GMAC in the mail today. And it wasn't even a bill. Excitement all around.

At the DHM today, I finished everything on my to-do list. At least I have it all typed out. Since I have no printer driver on my laptop again, I couldn't print anything out. And the email server was down today, so I couldn't email as attachments to my boss for her approval. Blah. I don't care. I have to figure out some goals I want to accomplish over the next few months to a year. Nurturing my employees will be one, gaining confidence to give orders will be two, familiarizing myself with further company policy will be three, striving for marketing for the Dossin will be four, and being hired full-time will be five. And wow, I just thought of those as I typed them out. Maybe I need to do that more often. My being hired full-time is my bosses number one priority on her goal list, by the way. I've made quite the impression early and she always tells me how pleased she is at both my thoroughness and time-effiency. But no need to brag, I guess.

At the store tonight, I only had to dress three mannequins because most of them are due on the 7/6 floorset. The girl was a little bitch and I very clearly let her know that. Good lord was she a terrible monster to put together. Maybe I had some horrific issue with the uniform thing from my own past, but this one doesn't look anything like what I ever had to wear. Grrr. Then I had to change the bulletin boards in the backroom. Five altogether per company regulation. It was interesting, especially when I had to work behind the door and people kept pushing it open with force. I eventually put up a sign that asked them to be careful when opening the door because I was working right behind it. I heard something that I hadn't heard from before Cari left and that is that I got that job "because I am a teacher." Ha. It's also because Dee knows my attention to detail and that anything I do is done well. Then I had to transfer all the monthly paperwork history into their own plastic bins. That was annoying, but I got through it. Believe it or not, it took me seven hours to do all that. Then I took the trash out with Denise and then we left. We were out of there by 1:30 or so. I was home by 2 and decided to do some quick blogging before I pass out for the next ten hours or so.

I have to work next Tuesday. Retail knows no holidays. I figured this would happen, especially since I don't work weekends anymore. But I think the mall closes at 5 or 6 at any rate. How fucking unAmerican. I hate commercialism most of the time.

I'm on my way to being awake for 21 hours, but I really want to be asleep before that becomes a reality. Gnight
