Today marked the 8th straight day I've worked. I am exhausted. In fact, from Monday, June 2nd, to either Wednesday, June 18th or Thursday, June 19th, I will have only had two days off. Thanks to the aquarium, Borders, and MBARI. Bank account may be liking it, but I am just simply exhausted. I think I've hit my capacity of working without days off. It wouldn't be so bad, either, except this last week at MBARI has been absolutely nuts because of getting a report finished to go to press on Monday. I don't want to see the report EVER again. Seriously. It was just really stressful, tedious, and annoying these past few days getting it finished. Borders tonight wasn't fun either. We had a call out from the cafe and another cafe person left work early because they're sick. So...They pulled someone off the floor to cover cafe and we have virtually no cashiers at all (we need to hire more) so everyone on the floor and the managers kept being called to the registers to help out. I feel like all we had was a line all day. Even then, I don't think we'll finish the day even close to our target. I probably, easily, spent about a third of my time at the registers. Of course, when there's no one on the floor...Customers needing to be helped takes longer and/or the store gets neglected. To say the least, when I left, the store wasn't pretty looking. So I feel bad for the closers and openers tomorrow. I'm sure the store will be trashed (I know kids was a messy-clean).
I put in an application to work at the new Apple store that's opening up at the Del Monte mall last Sunday. I got an e-mail yesterday asking for a day and time for an phone interview and asked to answer a few questions in the reply to the e-mail with a day and time. We'll see how THAT goes! I'm gone quite a bit in July and August, so I'm not sure how that'll work in favor for me to get the position since, I think, August is when the store's training will happen and the set-up of the store. I think the store will open sometime in September. I'm thinking of taking the part-time job (whichever position I get) and working there 3 days and 2 days at Borders. Not exactly sure yet. I'm taking my micro and macroeconomics in the Fall and that's in the morning-afternoon or afternoon twice a week. So we'll see how everything pans out.
On another Apple news point...I thought about getting an iPhone, but the data plan just kills me. If the data plan was $20, I'd do it, but $30?! That's a bit much for me since $20 was my max on data prices...I have another year on my contract with my current phone anyway, but I'm not happy with the battery life or signal strength. I wish the phone plans were cheaper...I hardly even use my phone for verbal communication anyway. And, even if I do, most people I know have AT&T so it just goes M2M. I use my data plan much more. Oh well. It's not like I'm in immediate need for a new phone!
Well, with that. I'm off to sleep. I'm positively exhausted from working Borders tonight.
