Ohhh noo here comes the shit storm (personal update)

Halloween is coming!

Yesterday I worked 8hr, I was on my feet over 12 hours and when I sat down, it's my friends birthday and he moved to the states like a year ago, and I promise I would go on call with him since he spent his birthday alone :( and I did for around 4 or 5 hours till 4am Last night, jeepers!! Needless to say my morning didn't start as soon as I planned. I spent most of my morning driving around and doing my friends some favors, and then My coworker asked me to take an 8hr shift after I had the planned on doing the artwork tomorrow... So I guess I'm pushing it further, I'm sorry.
I guess I just need the money (artwork isn't going to pay for my credit card debt) I really was looking forward to get back to doing the things that I love but the next 3 days I'm working over 22hrs... I hope I make time for the haunted house for my friend rose's birthday (I promised her) . i don't even know what I'm working next week but I imagine it'll be pretty busy because Halloween is coming up.
I'm posting my next artwork schedule tomorrow night and the next thing I'm working on is digital sketching and inks for all my ychs, starting in this order : the lineup, the beach, and the band, but I do think that I take breaks from one project to work on another. So I never feel the pressure to tackle a whole process at once. This also helps when I miss some details because I work and rework pieces until I'm satisfied.. I can be a perfectionist in this way.. I want each picture to be my best!

Yep actually I work as a cashier, I started this job 2 years ago with extreme social anxiety and agoraphobia, I definitely worked myself out of it so I am not scared of strangers nearly as much anymore

I work in the store as well as a janitorial clerk. I to do not get set hours but now that I've moved up in the ranks of janitorial, I have a set schedule.cleaning departments and stuff. Pain in my butt and stuff but it pays me to take it.

I too have a bit of social anxiety. It helps to work with other people.

lol well my job likes to dump on the cashiers, im never allowed to stand there, always making myself useful, like moving constantly and doing everything. The store is always (insanely) busy every day.
trying to remember to do a million different things, taking returns and hanging the clothes, selling lottery and cigarettes, calling taxis for old ladies, taking tax exept cards and tying out so many numbers have to make perfect change every time, taking outside calls, all while 'speed dating' customers & bagging groceries and being the front line of everyones frustrations in the store, for hours and hours and hours on end and i dont get a moment to stretch my legs or sit down.
I try my best to make every day a good day but often i cant make eye contact with customers or not able to talk to them and often i studder on PA systems or say the complete wrong thing fumbling through sentences haha... My employer called me to his office and said i need to smile more, fuck...story of my life haha...

my boss wants me to clean all departments in the store and you only give me about five and a half hours to do it. Not to mention the floors the machines the dishes everything. He only gives me five and a half hours to do it and now he wants me to do more stuff with no increase in hours.not to mention I also have to do customer service as well. They ask me to do stuff I have no idea how to do. Like, for example bake a cake cut bread cut meat or cook food. Of course me being the only one in the department at the time they expect me to know how to do something involving that department.I am constantly forced to say no I cannot do anything and that is a problem for some reason for my boss. I am just one man and I need more people to back me up while I'm working but apparently the English language does not apply to my boss.

I know your pain. I may not be a cashier but I still know your pain working in stores.

Oh yeah, and I can really empathize with your job he should really give you more training or at least hire more people to do saleswork

the thing is, the departments close. other stores clean their own department but not my store. they hire me to clean up for them. its like talling a kid to fill water balloons but then someone else asks him to jump start a car.

I can't understand that, I'm a cashier and when I walk through the store people ask me for things featured in the flyer and I pretty much search the whole store every time x(
