Unintended hiatus
6 years ago
General
I haven't posted any fursuit pics since finishing off AC-Thursday, which is almost a month ago now.
The reason was primarily work: my boss took paternity leave, which put me in charge of a retail store that was *already* severely understaffed. I ended up working about 60 hours a week, often not getting days off, and so tired that I have been able to do naught but zone out after getting home from work. Sometimes I get one or two games of Overwatch in, but I'm just so exhausted I can't even focus.
Then, starting this past Friday, the flu hit me. So...fantastic. Given the timing, it's like getting con crud without having gone to the con. And yes, I got my flu shot this (and every) year. I'm sure what I'm experiencing is a more mild form of the flu because of the flu shot, but it's still kicking my ass. It's hard to sleep, my throat is raw from all the coughing, and my head feels like it's going to explode every time I cough for some reason. Muscle aches and pains oddly ebb and flow several times a day, creating times where I can walk around okay and other times where my entire body is in so much pain even if I'm not moving.
Add onto this that I really can't realistically take time off of work because including myself there's only three managers to cover the opening and closing shifts seven days a week. And one of those two managers is completely useless for getting anything done, while the other one is fully competent but deciding to protest the first manager by ALSO being completely and utterly fucking useless. And this may not be my best hour, but I'm tired of them both and would rather just fire them and replace them with other people willing to work. I'm done trying to be nice, understanding, coaching, checking up on them, demanding explanations for why stuff isn't getting done, and basically doing everything in my power to get them to work short of write-ups. These are grown-ass adults who can't be arsed to lift a finger unless I'm breathing down their necks, and both are hella insubordinate and toxic right now. So fuck 'em, let them be unemployed just before xmas if they want to approach work like that.
If only it were that easy, yeah, I'd have already fired them. I've written one up, and the other one is gearing up for his own at this point too.
