Sack of monkeys in my pocket

maypirateI still have treats to dispense, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten!
I did forget to mention the results of the COOOOOORN MAAAAAZE which were that I went into a strange "my dad" mode and was like "I WILL LEAD THE WAY" and for the most part I did, with some assistance from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
infinityduck and latenightarting. I felt terribly accomplished when we made it out.
But I kind of have to talk about work for a moment, and for once it's sort of hilarious.
So Sunday morning I woke up to a call from Richard, because the spare set of keys to get into the safe room were missing. Apparently Richard had called Peter, gotten no answer, then called our boss, whose brilliant idea was not to come give him her keys to open her own goddamn store, but to call *me* so *I* could bring him the keys.
Really? Really?
So in light of how incredibly bitchy that was, I took five days off next week, and she'll have to cover half of them. LEX TALIONIS, BITCH.
I did not mention this to her, largely because of our previous conversation where she essentially said "I don't want to cover for you and open my own store." So I let Peter do it. And apparently Peter did it by saying, "So next week you're opening Friday to Sunday," and when she apparently stood up in shock, amended it to "Well, Chris and Richard can probably get Saturday and Sunday, so you'll just be working Wednesday through Friday."
At which point she promptly called up a girl I really like and hired her for the opening shift on the spot. I probably don't have to mention that until that point, she'd been dragging her feet hardcore about hiring anyone even though we desperately need it.
So you get my boss to actually do her job by suggesting she might have to do her job. Interesting.
Regardless, it was well played, Peter. Well fucking played.
And in conclusion, I have a "staycation" next week and I will get shit done. Hopefully.
Now here is a meme fromthistlerose:
1. Amber
2. May/Maypirate
3. Nuzz
4. Burrz

6. Tacomouth
THREE THINGS YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW:
1. My tweed (I think it's tweed) newsboy-ish hat that I wear pretty much every day
2. Exciting sweatshirt/coat of fuzz and beauty
3. The "Sex and Sashimi" shirt fromyawmin
THREE THINGS YOU WANT VERY BADLY AT THE MOMENT
1. The guinea pigs to clean my room while I'm at work so I don't have to do it later
2. For my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
startrekbigbang to be done
3. The store not to smell like rotting every day starting at 2 pm. Why must this beeee. ;_;

THREE THINGS YOU DID LAST NIGHT
1. Attempted to hold an aim conversation withfeels_like_fire on my ipod, with laughable results because typing on that shit is awful.
2. Went to "Taste of Tibet" withinfinityduck, then watched the movie "Burnt Offerings" which we thought would be all campy but was actually surprisingly good and suspenseful and distressing.
3. Laid out my gym clothes so I could go when I got up (but I ultimately was toooooo lazy).
THREE PEOPLE YOU LAST TALKED TO ON THE PHONE:
1. Customer
2. Customer
3. Customer (no one calls Amber)
THREE THINGS YOU ARE GOING TO DO TOMORROW:
1. I have to go pick up the paper from my parents' house, cuz they're out of town.
I actually have no idea.
2. Maybe clean some stuff? I dunno if Kat wants to go to the comic store or something like we've been talking about.
3. Try to write, probably.
FOUR OF YOUR FAVOURITE DRINKS:
1. Soda of the "cola" variety, with a strong preference to Pepsi and RC over Coke.
2. Earl Gray tea latte/London Fog
3. Moscato
4. Bottled Japanese teas, like Jasmine and Gogo no Kocha.
THREE THINGS THAT MADE YOU SMILE TODAY:
1. The thought of Peter tricking my boss into hiring someone good. That will make me happy for a long time.
2. Trumpy
3. The fact that the most recent comment fromjactrades on my STBB is her yelling at me about where I decided to stop writing for the night. :F
I should go hang up store anniversary decorations now. I promise I will get to my other memes and such soon and things and stuff. Peace.
