Crap, crap and more crap

Things just keep going downhill... A trip to Nebraska to see my love would make things much better in perspective, and I had planned on going in a week but...

...that's before we lost someone in our department (Becky) who transferred out without telling us until the last moment. Actually, she didn't tell us. Assistant Manager Laura told us she was going to become a cashier fulltime. Ironically, the Assistant Manager over the front end didn't tell her until less than a week before they transferred her. But, lo and behold, guess who's working in Jewelry now? You got it... So they have had 2-3 people working at night in Jewelry this week, and the past two days I've been the only one in shoes, JoAnn being on vacation this week. Go figure.

Anyway, they haven't replaced her yet, so I can't take three or four days off in a row for now. We are two people short now. Supposed to have a frieght processor and then Becky's position. We've never had the former actually ont he payroll, and it was very difficult to get the latter position filled. So, now everyone in the shoe department has to put non-essential days off on hold.. The day that I have a doctor's appointment toward the end of the month I have to work as much of a shift as possible before the appointment, and possibly go back for a few hours after it.

I tried to ask Jeff to come here and I would pay for his gas, but he insisted, "It's your turn!" and didn't give me a chance to tell him why I was asking.

I've been sooooo exhausted lately, and not feeling well. Plus side, I've gained ten pounds in the last month. Woot! Finally! Something good...

The worst thing of all is my poor gray kitty's time has come.**insert endless tears and crying here**.She's been getting worse, fully blind now and loosing her balancing skill. She just lays next to the food and water for the most part, and I carry her to the litter box when I am able to see she needs to go in time. My mom is going to take her tomorrow. I can't even take time off of work now to take her myself. Due to the wretched point system at work and being incredibly shortstaffed now. I would love to say 'Screw it' and just walk out and never go back in. I have bills to pay though, so that would not be beneficial at all. Plus, I don't have the guts.

I wish there was a employer that would hire me as an administrative assistant and train me themselves, or at least hire me as I am getting the proper education I need, so I could tell my current one to "Take this job and shove it."
