no, this isn’t about today…
…and this isn’t about this past saturday. shit, at this point it was about a month ago, but i still wanted to vent a bit.
i woke up at 7:30 to a text from one of our piercers that she wouldn’t be there that day due to injuring herself at the gym. this meant in addition to doing MY job, i’d basically have to fend off customers unless they just wanted jewelry and could put their own shit in. lots of fun.
then i go out to get in my car and leave (an hour or so later) and my tire light goes off as i’m on my way to get gas. i try resetting it while i’m moving (sometimes that’s a thing) but it keeps tripping and when i check it at the gas station it’s at 12psi. so i inflate it, but now know i have a leak which i’ll have to put up with through the weekend and deal with on monday.
and then while i’m getting the shop ready i reach for something and my watch goes flying because a screw had fallen out of the band never to be seen again.
that is NOT the way to start a day where i end up working fifteen hours, but it’s behind us now so let’s move on…
