My one day off and instead of getting things done around the house I'm sitting on the couch with a fever watching Thunderbolts.
Apparently I'm coming down with a cold. I've a scratchy throat and slight cough, I might be running a fever but with hot flashes I can't tell. I hope it's not covid, because my work doesn't have a covid policy anymore. I also want to point out I'm at work right now. Still got 3 hours of my shift.
At my work there is no incentive for clocking in early. My shift starts at 1:15 PM. If I clock in at 1:10 my time is rolled forward to 1:15. If I clocking in at 1:20 my time is rolled back to 1:15.

So here's me, with the readers or cheaters. Yes there is a filter. Without it, I'd break the camera.
I'm nearsighted. It's actually a good thing. If I need to read tiny print, I just take off my glasses. Well my dog chewed my glasses so I'm wearing contacts until I can get them replaced. Well I need reading glasses with the contacts to read fine print.
Had a customer complain to me that we were out of chocolate milk and he needed it for his migraines. I understand chocolate is helpful for pain (I have painful periods) but I feel chocolate milk doesn't have that much chocolate.
We're so rural right now that cell service is spotty or 4G at best.
Overheard: Both of my kids are Democrats.
Oh man!
Yeah, bleeding hearts! How could you kick those illegals out.
Oh man!
I'll tell you I'd kick everyone of them out.

Russ referred to yard sales as outdoor antique malls.
In my state we have this thing called the 100 mile yard sale. We're attending it, checking things out. Woman was selling puzzles with pieces missing.

It's day before payday. I got like $20 to my name. However there is a gas station called Casey's that makes good pizza. They have a reward program. Turned my points into $30 worth the Casey's cash. Ordered a pizza, can't use the cash on a pizza. ðŸ˜
The joy of being the only employee in a dollar store. I'm eating tuna salad between customers. And the only real chance I get to sit down is when I'm using the toilet.

Worked 52 hours last week. I'm part time. I fully believe in work- life balance. Yeah the paycheck will be nice, but also the cost of hours I've spent away from my family and pets.
Had a customer get mad at me because I wouldn't let him in until 7 AM when we OPEN. I opened the doors to put put displays when he walked up and I said, "You got 3 minutes." He said his clock must be fast. I reminded him we opened at 7. He got mad and left.
We failed the escape room. It was Breakout's Mystery Mansion. We got to the last 3rd to last puzzle. I don't need the puzzles solved, I just want to know what was the mystery.

My son is turning 25 and with his own job, he buys whatever he wants. Switch 2? He bought himself one already. So to celebrate his birthday, we're gonna do an escape room.
I'm a cashier at a local dollar store. Had a woman who refused to pay because the total was $6.66. She said she had to add something.
I replied, "I don't understand, it's just a number."
What makes it even more weird is my state a actually voted for some progress policies but voted in Republic who actually overturned the policies the people voted for like raising minimum wage and abortion rights.
Well the weird part about living rural in a red state is everyone here is basically a Trump supporter and I'm constantly trying to explain tariffs are bad and how they work. They all think Trump is doing a great job.
I'm also one of those that had to choose between my car payment and my mortgage. If I was single and not married with two kids I'd have let the house go and live in the car. Unfortunately I had to let the car go.
So far I don't see the hate for Ice Cube War of the World's. It's entertainment and an art style spin on it.
I have 6 cats how the fuck do I have mice?
*dead mouse shows up in front of couch*
Well that's one problem solved.
I used to have a Samsung smart watch. I gave it to my daughter. Fast-forward two years later and I decided I wanted another smart watch. Well Samsungs are expensive. So I bought a cheap noname smart watch for $40. It's complete crap, but I guess I get what I pay for.
So had to explain to a lady that bogo always discounts the cheaper item. She thought if she got two $5 items and two $1 items that it would discount one of each.
