Today just sucked monkeybutt and blew goats at the same time. I had a 6am-2:30pm shift, which I'm usually ok with but 2 days in a row is rough on 5-6 hours' sleep. I looked at the schedule first thing. Quel surprise- my graduation day, June 13th, which i booked off weeks ago - I'm scheduled for work. I had a short hissy fit at Jeff, who said he'd deal with it when we'd unloaded the truck. I got gloomier and scowled more, imagining my wonderfully long rant about the shit I'd gone through toe graduate this year, courses I couldn't get, courses I didn't like, books I couldn't afford, degree requirement changes, being sick for the exam [bronchitis brought on by cycling uphill at 5am, no less!!], petitions, rejection, acceptance YESTERDAY... and now Best Buy is getting in the way of graduation. Straw that breaks the camel's back, eh? Erol ["Earl"], the new merch manager, whom I had hitherto pegged as a moron, came up to me around 9:30am and asked why I wasn't my usually sunny, bubbly self. I explained, he said "Of course you're going to graduation, we'll fix that, don't worry!" [I thought to myself "Yer damn right" cuz Mum would lynch me if I missed it and I would have had to quit or something.] So I respect him more now, which is probably good, or at least useful. Melissa the Blonde Cheerleader is leaving at the end of the month to go home to B.C. (what a shame.) Anyway, so it's been a rough day, which is why I'm going to go play Sims now. At least I can have some element of control in THOSE lives.
