I'm already bored with this job. I know, I know, it's only been a month, give it a chance, yadda yadda. It's retail -- what else do you need to know? And they expect "upselling" which is something I hate to do. Business has been really quiet these past two days, which makes it even more boring. Leeann is off, so Shane is in charge and he doesn't teach me anything. And he does jobs he should delegate, like mopping. Not that I want to mop, you understand, but there are things managers do that sellers can't do yet and anybody can mop. He's a pretty wiry intense sort of guy so maybe he just likes doing something more physical, where I'd rather sit in the office and do inventory and statistics.

Tomorrow I'm going to town to get some work done on the rig. Am also going to get a charger for my phone. Then I'm going to the casino to eat and do wifi. I really think I'll apply for that park manager job. If I can make $9/hour working part-time, why should I make $8/hr working up to full-time?

Updates later.

Tried to read Dancing with Werewolves by Carole Nelson Douglas. She's been around a long time and I at least thought I'd get a polished writer's take on this paranormal. But no-o-o-o-o. The heroine is an orphan with really white skin, black hair, blue eyes (Black Irish). And it's first person. She tells about being an orphan and having white skin many many times over the first few chapters. I finally said, "I got it, already! You're an orphan. You have white skin. Enough, already." And threw the book down.

And what's with the title? The author couldn't come up with something original? Wonder what Costner would say?
