I Heart Driftwood Chips
Posted: January 26, 2017 Filed under: Art, Employment, Entertainment | Tags: closing, driftwood, flowers, taxes, wood burning, woodburning, work 4 CommentsThis morning I packed up the POS and cash drawer and now we’re officially closed. Super sad. Tomorrow morning I start at the other mall. It’s probably gonna suck.
But tonight I started wood burning, which does not suck at all. It’s pretty dang awesome. I did one practice thingamabob and then it was straight to driftwood chips, which are even more awesome. 
I have done six so far, the others with names for friends and family, spending about two hours on them altogether. I have a sore spot on one of my fingers from the handle, so I wrapped it in some duct tape. Hopefully that will help some. But I’m probably done for the day anyway. It’s on to filing my taxes after this.

Tonight was my last night closing. Our final day of business is tomorrow. *sniff*
Three Things

- Our last day was changed from today to next Tuesday, which sucks because that’s when the district manager will be here “helping”. But whatevs.
- I think I might go to trade school to be a machinist.

Sad face.
Choices

I’ve decided to transfer to the other store in our area. So I’m not entirely laid off, but I’ll only be working two days a week there. And I won’t be with my family.
I’m going to be on the lookout for something else. Maybe I could work at a bookstore. Maybe I could go back to phlebotomy. Maybe I could work for the local arts council.
Idk.
The Sweet Globe
Posted: January 4, 2017 Filed under: Employment | Tags: busy, closing, globe, packing, pens, work 4 CommentsI’ve never worked somewhere that was going out of business before. There is so much stuff to do. Yesterday I spent a couple hours organizing and repricing the pens. Today I spent a couple hours packing and transferring six boxes of crap that we’re not allowed to have on clearance.
In between I continued to put out merchandise that isn’t currently on display. And I finally opened up this globe and had a look at it. It’s been sitting on the second shelf in the office section in storage for the four years I’ve been here, and I had no idea what it looked like.
It’s pretty sweet.
So I boxed it back up and returned it to its shelf to wait for deeper discounts so I can bring it home.
