It's officially Valentine's Day. It is also after the witching hour post-Friday the 13th. To celebrate, I am watching Friday the 13th Part 2. I was going to watch the first one, but didn't see it onDemand.
That's the way to celebrate love. Watching some slasher movie, alone, at 3 in the morning.
At least I get to watch Jason kill some kid in a wheelchair.

Remodeling store annoyances
Work sucked today. I am not surprised. Friday is usually a good day. It's the end of the week. All my usual work is typically done. I can usually relax and get done stuff I usually don't have a chance to get tho throughout the rest of the week. Today, though, was completely different.
My boss scavenged some fixtures from the bookstore that just closed in the mall. I actually used to work at the book store a few years ago before I worked full time in a comic book store. It is a little weird to see it go. There isn't really a close book store around. From what I overheard and can't really confirm, the mall refused to renew the lease for the store. Apparently, there is already some clothing store set to move in, and the mall has plans for a separate anchor bookstore in 2 years. It took the whole staff by surprise.
In any case, my boss looks at closings as attacks of opportunity. His mindset is that if you are closing, what do you have that would benefit me. He wanted the shelves because he thought they would work better in our store. I can't say that they really do. Thankfully, my boss hired a couple guys to move the units down to the hallway behind the store. The sucky part was that I had to move them through the store, while the store was open, trying not to hit any product or glass display cases. I had help, granted, but it wasn't as if my boss was really doing anything. Towards the end of my shift, he actually left to go catch a drink with one of his buddies. He claimed he was being pressured into it.
I was tired, achey, and annoyed by the end of work. I was going to quit at one point, but that usually happens when it seems like everyone isn't doing their job when I am. I wound up passing out after work, so I missed heading into the city to see my friends perform in their sideshow. They even changed the show from what I am told. Oh well, I guess there is always next month.
