Really, I don't know why she keeps me from the other break I'm entitled to.
Another 11 hour workday? You better believe it! Did I get my second break I was entitled to and am always entitled to after I work a truck and then ad set? Nope. I don't complain about this point, but it seems really retarded that I am refused to break with the rest of the ad set just because I've had a break and a lunch already. I'm entitled to two breaks if I work at least 8 hours (which I always do in that scenario... and honestly, I'm supposed to get an hour lunch if I work more than 8, but that I care for less than the paid break I am not getting) and Kathy is like "Everyone but the truck crew take a break." It's pretty stupid.
My speakers in my pocket listening to podcasts loophole plan worked pretty well tonight, though. I wish I could get it just a little bit louder, but at least I can still hear and understand my 'casts if I focus. It's actually pretty funny, as I'm using more focus to hear the podcasts now that I was when it was on my headphones and supposedly a distraction. I dunno what it is about me, but if you leave me with nothing to focus on but my work, my mind goes out of control and more than likely depresses me... I work better with something in the background to let those excess brain cycles digest. But, you know, what are you gonna do? My next step is to create makeshift belt clips for the speakers out of duct tape and a hangar. This will let the 'casts be more audible by pointing the speakers towards me while not causing me to adjust them every five seconds. Yay!
Additional gripe about work tonight. The last hour was us doing more price changes for no fucking reason. We were already ruining the budget for the week, why the fuck did she have us stay for another hour to put those girls clothes on clearance instead of just throwing them on a Z rack and labelling them like we've done EVERY OTHER TIME WE FIND CLEARENCE DURING AN AD! *sighs*
Anyway, I guess I'll try to sleep now. Whee.
