My Sleepless Night

Last night I was working until 11, and then after that I was going to go home and pack up some clothes and such to sleep over at my sister, Em's, house. Now, Em wasn't getting off of work until 1:30am, so I knew I would have plenty of time to pack and maybe even watch Ugly Betty (on ABC's full episode player...I think its the greatest invention I have ever seen. You can watch full episodes of your favorite primetime shows you missed!!)

Instead..we were busier than my manager had expected, or just had messier customers (you get those a lot in retail...). So he had asked if I would stay and help him get the store cleaned up and ready for Friday. I agreed, and he also got a couple of other people to stay as well. So dang, I don't get to watch Ugly Betty :( ... Not tonight anyways.

The one thing about working in retail is that it seems to attract the laziest teenage workers I have ever met. They are the ones who do as little as they can, they don't care about anybody else and the work that they will have to do because of them, and the ones who put random clothes in the most random places. I think about 80% of my co-workers fit this category. It is tough to deal with them daily. So it was about midnight and one of the girls had to go home. I told her as she was walking away to come back and take her folding cart because I did not want to clean up after her. Well sneaky little her says "oh there is nothing on it" So she goes back over there, takes the cart and moves around a little and then smiles as she walks away with her empty cart. Oh that little - i was thinking to myself. I had seen her do something that was suspicious. I walk over to where her cart was and there is a pile of clothes on the floor. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? So after I got over that whole thing, I was half asleep by the time that 1:30 came and I had to leave to meet Em.

When I got home my mom...surprise surprise...is still awake. I actually think that she stayed up to wait for me which I like because I don't like going up to the house at night. I got there and showed her how to create an M and M guy on the website ( i am sure you have seen the commercial) Then Em showed up and was talking up a storm. We finally left my house by 3am. Wow, its late.

When we finally got to Em's house for the "sleep over" we were planning on having, it was already 4:00am. So after playing with the cats and chit chatting, we decided to watch a movie. After getting about 30 minutes into it, we decided we were too tired to watch anymore and at this point it was 5:00am. Em reminded me she had an interview in the morning that was an hour away, so we had to leave at 9:00am.

The rest of the day was spent battling my tired little eyes. It was nice to feel my pillow that night.
