Apr. 29th, 2024 04:30 amSaturday at work wasn't terrible. It did basically begin with me realizing that the shift before was just the lady who is literally going blind as the front end person and right after the person covering overnight sfl duties showed up, some asshole dropped a bottle of wine and didn't say a damn thing about it so that was a fun surprise. o_O Normally I hear that but with T yanking all the old tags down with a vengeance, and pharmacy having people press the button so the bell went off... you get the idea.
Cleaned up a bit after I got home and after dinner I worked on sorting swatch sticks.
Future!me: (or past!me if you're time traveling and reading this for some reason) Do not paint the underside of the swatch sticks. I know people will say it's like built in topcoat and you can see the real texture of the polish underneath but you live in the South where it's humid all the fucking time and you almost always have a fun running. Your polish will bubble like a motherfucker and get cloudy and gross and also it's a pain in the ass to flip the swatch over to see the 'real' color.
I have a love/hate relationship with sorting these things. On the one hand, I love seeing the colors in their various shades. So pretty! But I feel like if I get the sorting wrong I'm gonna be in trouble somehow. It makes NO sense because the only person who could decide it was wrong would be me, but nope. I will hesitate and hem and haw for so damn long that my anxiety will peek in and see if I need help reaching a freakout. (spoiler: it's been there the whole time) Then I get so annoyed that I either give up entirely or I give up and slap 'em on a ring and call it a fucking day even though I know future!me is gonna think "wtf" before remembering oh, yeah, we're nuts.
All that being said, I've got the reds, greens, oranges, yellows, and maybe browns currently on their rings. Purple is going to require me to purchase additional rings (I need smaller ones) and so will blue, honestly. I also think I'm gonna need to go back through and snag a few of the teals from the unsorted holder but I can't be bothered today.
Trying to decide if I want to stay up or take my ass to bed. Decisions.
