So, Fun News. The Rest Of The Day Shift Got Here When The Night Shift Clocked Out. Idky They Wanted Me

So, fun news. The rest of the day shift got here when the night shift clocked out. Idky they wanted me here at 4, but it is what it is.

The EM over campus isn't answering anyone. Not calls, not texts. We also have no supervisor yet. There are six of us here and none of us know what we're supposed to be doing.

It's not supposed to rain for the rest of the day, but I am very cold.

I can't sleep and the near constant notifications from Tumblr aren't helping.

(No, I can't turn my phone on vibrate because too many people in my family are sick and I'm the only one who wakes up to my phone ringing more than I do my own alarm)

So, I've given up sleeping for the night. I have to wake up in like...two hours anyway. (Shift starts at 4, we leave the house no later than 3:15, my alarm goes off at 2:00 so I have time to get ready)

I've been awake since 11:15 May 1st with only a three hour nap on May 2nd. My shift is 15 hours (4:00 to 19:00)

I've got a Mountain Dew, a Powerade, and 2 Rockstar to keep me awake for the shift (and food)

...sigh

At least the pay's decent. Our highest paying venue at $16 and hour

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST REALIZED

YOU KNOW THE HAIKU BOT???

OFC YOU DO

YOU KNOW THAT MESSAGE HE PUTS AT THE END OF EVERY POST????

"Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up."

YEAH???????

WELL THATS A HAIKU TOO

Beep boop! I look for

accidental haiku posts.

Sometimes I mess up.

NOW YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THATS NOT THE CUTEST THNIG YOUVE EVER HEARD

I was right, yesterday's shift in a wind tunnel did make me sick. I still don't feel good.

I tried to call off today, but Manager L guilt tripped me into still going in tonight.

I'm not looking forward to it.

She said she'd let me leave as soon as she could.

Also told me it's a parking shift, but I don't need a car because this venue has parking shacks

Idek what I'm doing in this wind tunnel. There's no credentials I need to be watching for, the only people allowed on cite are all staff working here, and it's only the same 10 people coming through here since 8.

And now I'm pretty sure sitting here has made me sick.

If I got sick because they stuck me in a fucking Wind tunnel for no damn reason for 11 hours (it's only been 5 so far, but I'm not likely to move before I'm off for the day) I'm gonna be even more pissed.

....If I am sick, that'll give me an excuse not to work the shift I was called into for tomorrow evening. I hate that venue.

Being sick is inconvenient to an extreme level

I can't sleep and the near constant notifications from Tumblr aren't helping.

Note to vacationing non-Americans: while it’s true that America doesn’t always have the best food culture, the food in our restaurants is really not representative of what most of us eat at home.  The portions at Cheesecake Factory or IHOP are meant to be indulgent, not just “what Americans are used to.”

If you eat at a regular American household, during a regular meal where they’re not going out of their way to impress guests, you probably will not be served twelve pounds of chocolate-covered cream cheese.  Please bear this in mind before writing yet another “omg I can’t believe American food” post.
