Workday Wrap-up

[xakara]

 Going to bed near 3pm and waking up at 7pm and finally getting out of bed at 8pm when you have to admit you aren't going back to sleep, all on a day when you have to work from 11:30pm to 8am....not a good idea. Especially if you just worked the previous day and woke up waaaay too early to be working an overnight shift.

It will be an interesting night to say the least. Hopefully less interesting than yesterday. I swear they must have been passing out free tequila shots on a street corner nearby because every 2 out of 3 people that came in were toasted. Every tenth was out and out wasted. And let me tell you, wallets and purses should come with breathalizers because too many people walk up and hand me cash or credit cards and have no idea what they're trying to buy. You just shouldn't be allowed to spend when you're that far gone.

And the Wrap-up:

Number of Come-ons: 2 ~ And they were even non-creepy come-ons

Number of Flirtations: 4 ~ That I caught anyway, I was tired so who knows. 

Number of Drunks Who Thought They Were Charming: 2 ~ SIGH

Number of Drunks Who Were Actually Charming: 0 ~ SIGH

Number of Philosophical Drunks: 1 ~ I haven't had enough sleep to even begin to explain this encounter

Number of Embarassed Condom Purchases: 0 ~ Hopefully this doesn't mean they chose to forgo condoms alltogether. I'd rather believe they already had some or just weren't getting lucky last night. 

Number of Confident Condom Purchases: 1 ~ And kudos to him because he looked me in the eye and everything!

Number of "Working Girls" on "Dates" : 0 ~ This is unprecedented, I'm a little worried. 

Number of "Working Guys" on "Dates" : 2 ~ This was new. I'm sure it's not the first time, but it was the first time it was obvious. Granted, perhaps I've just become better at spotting sex workers of any gender. 

Number of Well-Wishers: All but five or so. 

Biggest Compliment of the Night: "You're too much for me. I can't keep up."

The Number of Folks That Reminded Me Why I Do Retail: 3 ~ Not as good as last week, but still good for a single shift in general. 

Prevelant Thought For The Night: Prohibition had a point

I think every job gets crazy if you have to deal with people.

But your job craziness, (minus the psycho boss), is the kind I'd love to be a part of. I wish I lived near you and could come and work with you :)

Hugs,

There are some things that I wish I had on tape, but I'd have to withhold the images to protect the guilty and innocent, so it's probably good that I don't. :)

I wish you could too!
