long time

ok. let's get the bitching out of the way, then i can get to business.
worked 16 straight days. some longer hours than others.
worked 64 hrs in a week. worked 133 hrs in that 16-day stretch.
that's 8.3 hrs averaged out per day.
that's a bit more than every average person works in a given day, not to mention that they usually get a day or two off during the week as well.

but it's worth it now, cuz tomorrow i get to not work and go down to issaquah for some scuba classes! i get the rest of the weekend off too (don't think that's happened since i went to alaska in july), not to mention thanksgiving! and yes. there was a possibility of me working on thanksgiving. the only day my stupid-ass store is fully closed is on xmas. thanksgiving they're open til 6pm.
but the payment i must give is that i must rise early for the 6 hr sale the day after thanksgiving.
the day that should be the true holiday.
my ass has to be at the store at 4:45 in the AM, and put in a full day that will get me off at 1:15, which is barely in the PM.
but. i get the next day, saturday off as well. so my boss isn't all that cruel.

so i guess the moral of the story is: I'm tired.
