This past week has been INSANITY. One of the girls up in Columbus quit so my other piercer had to go up there to cover like 3 days, which meant that I had to work 6 days in a row down here. I got overtime which is pretty nice but OMG I was tired by Monday. I usually go in at 11, but I had just gotten out of the shower and was going to call my employee to tell them I wanted to come in at 12 (I was so exhausted and wanted just one more half an hour to nap)... well... didn't quite work that way.

While I was in the shower I had gotten about 6 phone calls, 4 from the shop and 2 from my boss. My girl was robbed at gunpoint. In the near 4 years I've worked there we have NEVER been robbed. Barely any shoplifting either.

Of course I immediately rushed down there and took care of things as much as I could. The police took our register to fingerprint it and we caught him on camera. Such a fucking idiot. We have 4 cameras in the shop, so we caught his face several times.

All over $80. Not even a hundred fucking dollars and he threatens the life of my employee?!? Wtf. People are fucking idiots, I swear. The next 5 hours were probably the most stressful and insane that I've had since Damien was born. The police left such a mess and we had to clean it up - although the staff at the mall did help they did a pretty shitty job.

And of course my girl didn't want to open by herself today, so I came in on my first day off in 7 days to work with her for an hour. I don't quite mind it because of the situation but omg I wanted to sleep in soooooooooooooo bad.



My body aches, my head hurts, and I'm utterly exhausted.
