  Chore boy, tire gauges, and death threats. Why wouldn't I want to work at Walgreens?

See, Mr. Crackhead came back into the store and apparently this is what happened. Kathleen was upfront, Mad Madam H was in pharmacy with a customer, and Felicity & I were on the Christmas aisle. Seems he stood there and Kathleen came to ask us where H was. We told her and she went up front to page her. I wandered to see why and saw Crackhead. I motioned for Felicity to come see and when a couple of minutes passed with no H, I went back to pharmacy to get her [he's not supposed to be in the store since Kathleen friggin' grabbed him and he spent a month in jail for cig stealing and other fun things] and she hurried upfront. Where he was still just standing there. He sees H and turns to Kathleen and barks, "Why'd you have to go and call her?" Over and over as H tells him to get out or she's calling the cops. He's pissed by now and he walks out the door and H tells Kathleen to call the cops. Kathleen stands there and then turns away from the phone and seems to start going back to what she was doing despite the fact that Crackhead is seething mad and outside and yelling at her. H realizes this and goes around to call them herself. As she's doing this and I'm thinking, "Great, give him a bigger headstart" he knocks the display outside over. It hits a customer who was going outside at the time and she yells at him and he's still yelling.

The police eventually appear, but by the time they do, the gas station across the street [for those paying attention in near stalker-levels, it was the one to the left, not across the highway] was swarming with cars and it was chaos. So the cop walks across the street and people flee like the place is on fire. Fab. He comes back over and another cop pulls up and they ask what happened. The story is told. A third cop arrives and again the story is told.

They go off to the woods to see if Crackhead is there. While we wait outside, I'm told how exactly to fashion a crackpipe from ordinary store items. ...From the customer who once spent thirty minutes shrieking "Cunt!" about one of the pharmacy managers.

Go on. Be jealous.

Yes, they caught him. Wheeee, fun.

... The boss who makes the schedule is an idiot. Idiot! Insert the various other ways I know to say this -here-. We had the "sign up for your holiday of choice" sheets for a couple of weeks. There were two days up there. Just two. I immediately caved for Christmas and Kathleen took Thanksgiving. Guess who is definitely working Thanksgiving? Me? You are so smart. Cookie for you. This wouldn't bug me so much if it weren't so freakin' obvious he just copied every other third shift schedule. How do I figure? Cuz Kathleen is off on thanksgiving as it's one of her normal days off. Fab. This better mean I get the same goodness passed along when Christmas and New Years roll around, otherwise I swear to God, I'm going to snap something fierce. It's not so much that I mind working Thanksgiving, although of the three big holidays, it's the one I actually made plans for. I do mind the sinking suspicion that I will end up getting screwed over next month when everyone forgets who worked what holiday and want their precious day of choice off.

*grumble*

My ankle hurts. I should probably stop cracking various joints, eh?

Almost done with Anansi Boys. This is both good and bad. Good because it means I'm speeding right through, a sure sign that a book does not suck massively. Bad because it means I'm almost out of book, and I don't think I have another book to read after this. ;_; The really vexing part is that there's a book I really, really want to read at work but I can't afford it til Friday. Uncool as there's no possible way for me to not finish AB before Friday morning.

Hrmm. Library account still owing money though no clue as to why they told Mumsy I had to pay at least 4.50 and then she did and then they said, "well, now she needs to pay..." I swear, when I take over the world there will be plenty of changes.

Speaking of changes and things that will probably not happen for quite some time:
- If I ever decide to switch any of the Pullips' bodies for another type/or a non funky one, please remind me to use Isa [ChinaChina] as her broken leg is vexing. Then she could share the non broken parts. It'd be great.

I had another reminder, but I went and forgot it. Woe.

I found the recipes for the various pies I'm thinking of making this year. I also bought the pie crusts for them, although upon closer inspection I realize why I only made the mile high pie once. I'm too lazy to make the brownie shell.

So very tired.

Mr. Bitches is quitting. So is Henry. Both have their last days next week. This kinda sucks. I figured they'd both be gone before the end of the year, Henry first since he put in his two weeks notice two months ago. But with Mr. Bitches going away, that means they'll either hire another night manager or they'll go back to rotating mad madam h's off days between the day managers. Which might not be so bad except at least one of those managers has proven time and time again he sucks as a manager. Sucks.

*headdesk*

My mouth feels funny.

Been watching a ton of Gilmore Girls lately. I think I've got two, maybe three episodes left until I'm all caught up with the current season. And I can safely say that I'm fabulous? )

I need to do something with my hair. It's shiny and pretty, but the bangs have grown out too much to consider them bangs. So do I cut them or let them grow out further? *muse*
Is it wrong that when asked how many books I read a week, my answer disappointed me? [the answer is 4]

In case you'd been neglecting me lately, you might not have noticed the almost nightly update on the Pharmacy Bandit [hee!] ... Yeah, well, today you should pay attention. Because I didn't, and guess who paid for that with her break? Yeaaaaah.

So, a little after 2am, the asshole hit. Thing is, no one fucking saw him enter the store. I wish I'd told our pharmacist that I'd be a couple of aisles away so she'd have known if she yelped or said something loudly, I'd hear. I'm not sure it would have done any good, but since she knew it was him before he slid her the note of DOOM... it might have. Sigh. Anyway. Pharmacy got robbed, but the tech followed him in her car a little bit, enough to get the kind of car and the license plate number.

Only I didn't know any of this crap was happening until one of the cops walked by and called out very softly and had me leave the store. At which point I was kind of "ohmygod,whatthehellisgoingon"-ish. And then I grabbed the first employee I saw and asked, because on Fridays, it could have been anything. Nope. He hit.

For today's serving of "Fuuuuuuucccccckity fuck!" He was the same guy as the night before, who was pulled over the night before after Mad Madam H shared the plate number, only they couldn't keep him for anything. But don't you worry, his sorry ass came back and sneaky like a ninja and all that, robbed the place. Argh.

Today's side order of irony is as follows: I spent the first hour or so at work on the computer, watching a stupid little video and taking a test on... What To Do If Your Store Is Robbed. ... D'oh! Oddly enough, they never did mention what to do if the pharmacy is robbed.

What they don't tell you is that it'll take 5 hours for the cops to do whatever they do, and you won't get your break, but the person who came in at 10 will get to leave early and you STILL won't get your break, and then you'll listen as this person tells you that even though one boss mistakenly gave them an extra day off and the second boss said that they'd need you on that day off, tee hee, they won't come in. So you'll be working alone, again! And you will resist the urge to beat up a 53 year old woman for managing to screw you six ways to Sunday every other week.


That was the night. Wow, bet you wish you were me, huh?

*hums*

Work. Drama! Only... not really. I get there and the three managers on duty are all crowded into the tiny hallway where the timeclock is. Thus making it a bitch to clock in. As I'm attempting to duck out, I'm given the lecture on the code to call if we're robbed and a reminder that you can, in theory, call 911 from any of our phones. o_O So I head out, take over for Jeffrey, and find out that a second Walgreens [I think] was robbed. Some dude actually robbed the one pharmacist I'd bet money could kick his crackhead ass. Balls of steel, man.

So, I spent the first few hours trying to get a description of the dude they were expecting to come back and rob us. You see, they think he was casing the joint [hee!] earlier. Hence the reminder about what to do when the store gets robbed.

Dude never came back. Woe.

I then marveled at Kathleen's ability to take more than an hour and a half to do nothing but sweep the floor. And I mean nothing. She didn't stop to chat, or pick things up, or anything. Just... swept the floor. I haven't the words...

I need to brush my hair.

Oh. Dido thoughts, but no pictures just yet. She's adorable. I'm leaning towards calling her Kate [mom said Katie and the immediate thought was, "fuck no." Luckily I didn't say that.] but I'm not sure. Anyway, the thing people don't tell you about her is that in that pretty shock of purple hair, there are blue strands. Tis most awesome. Also, if you look at her from one side, she seems to look at you out of the corner of her glittery eye. The other side, not so much. Love the soles of her boots. I could pet them all day long...

*yawn* Not so random craving for the Rob Thomas CD. Must. Resist.

edit new icon. Woo!

yaaaawwwn

Who told Kmart it could open at 9 instead of 8? Who gave this store permission to keep me from spending money on cat treats? I want their name and their job! Well. Not really. I would like for my feet to not hurt, if that could be arranged.

*yawn* Yesterday, in various parts of the world, four dolls were shipped out to me. Mini Anne, Mini Witch, Mercu and Jupi. Any bets on which duo gets here first? [anne & witch are skipping over from hong kong annnnd the cosmic cuties are beaming down from canaaaaadia]

Sigh. I have to work tonight, tomorrow, and Monday. This does not scream fun. No, no it does not.

Annnd before I go... Pullip of the day #3

there she goes )

I love magazines. [/random]
