i feel like im going to die. i have a fever and im hallucinating.

I hope you do/

I thought hallucinating was a good thing?

im sick as hell too

Had a cold all week.

i was definitely feeling close to it yesterday, haha. i worked all day from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm on thursday, drove an hour home, then had to leave again at 8:00 to get to a store by 9:00 pm to build hanging basket (flowers) supports over 2 tables that another company built in a very wrong way. long story short, i was there until 2:30 am in the pouring rain building this shit, thinking horrible thoughts like how it would feel to get crushed in the slow-compacting dumpster the store had out back (why, i have no clue), and not knowing if i was alive, haha. another hour to drive home in the pouring rain, in which i couldn't see 5 feet in front of me...got home at 3:30, took a shower, ate breakfast, got ready for work, and drive another hour back to the SAME FUCKING STORE I JUST LEFT, to train 2 people at 6 am. i worked another 6 hours, then passed the fuck out from 12-9, then again from 11 to 5 this morning, just to work another 12 hour day. life sucks, and connecticut deserves to be excised from the US.

you must work for Lowe's

worse...home depot

actually, i work for a merchandising company. we maintain live goods for a farm that sell all of their product through home depot. since i am the CT manager, i have to make sure i have employees in all 8 CT stores and 1 NY store under my jurisdiction 7 days a week, properly trained, and doing their jobs right (which rarely happens, lucky me). on top of that, i'm responsible for building the tables that the product is kept on. i'm putting in my 2 weeks next week.

good thinking. I worked for Lowe's last summer. The whole trick to working at one of those places, or any retail place for that matter, is not to let them push you around, ever. I made my own schedule while I was there by simply telling them when I wouldn't be working. They tried to test me at first, of course, scheduling me when I told them I wasn't available. Of course I didn't show up. I walked in for my next shift after that and got to work and didn't have to deal with shit for it.

home depot can't tell me to do anything, luckily. the only people who have power over me are my boss (the guy that owns the merchandising company) and kurtz farms (the farm that owns/sells all the flowers through home depot). our contract states that as long as we build our own tables in the space provided, and sell the plants through home depot, then they have to let us do whatever we need to do and the store must supply whatever we need. i've already had 2 HD store managers try telling me what to do, but i'm not easily walked on, and technically have authority over them in this particular situation. i've already turned 3 stores around as far as sales go, and i've gotten the HD district manager loving our company more than he loves most of the home depots, haha. but, i'd rather be applying this effort to my illustration career, not selling a bunch of stupid plants and training a bunch of dumbasses. so, quitting time is definitely sooner than later. the only thing that sucks is that i have many bills to pay...so i still need to have some sort of "day job" to keep me afloat for a while. work is gay.

You're doing great? How am I suppose to know this? Well, I am bleeding all over the couch because my incision has decided to drain.

Death to the prophet!!!
