A Day In The Life Of A Peanut Butter Cup

Listen Up!

That week went really fast. I have no idea what happened, because nothing really out of the ordinary happened, at least not worth blogging about, and yet it went by fast enough for me to almost miss my Tuesday post. I have no announcements, I've got the same to-to and coming-soon lists as the past 3 weeks. Only difference is, one of those big projects, is practically done. Yes, my formerly nameless Juggling Video 7, now being named C.J.W.S. (Can't Juggle Worth Sh**), is done, and I mean done. I've finished gathering footage, and finished editing. Now all I have to do is save it (the hard part for my comp) and it will be released.

Daily Life:
No real spectacular story this week, at least none as epic as the usual Shoprite Stories. I hate it though when they start cutting hours at Sr when we get new recruits in, it's great for getting a free day off, but then again, you don't get as much of a paycheck. Example, last week's schedule. My normal schedule (if you haven't memorized it by now) is 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm Fri-Sun. Last week I worked from 5-9:30 on Friday, had Saturday off, and then worked from 4:15-8:45 on Sunday. The thing is, I don't really check my schedule each week, because it's so routine, so I came in on Sunday (the schedules go from Sunday to Saturday, and the new ones are posted on Fridays), expecting to work from 4:00 to 10:00, as my usual hours, especially after having Saturday off. I go to punch in, it rejects my punch (the clock won't let you punch in or out unless it's within 7 minutes of the scheduled time). So I check the schedule, and just look at my in time, 4:15. So I grab a Mountain Dew (I really need to be sponsored by them for something), chill for a while, then get to work.

After a pretty maddening Sunday, which is normal, it starts to calm down around 5:30, 6:00. So the managers get me to doing some returns. I do them, and when I come back, tell me to just go on my break and get it out of the way. No complaints here, I go on my break, come back, and do more returns until about 9:00, all the while thinking I'm leaving at 10:00. I go over to bring up the CD cart as I always do around 9:00, and the manager asks me "What are you still doing here? You were supposed to leave at 8:15!" "Huh?" "Yeah, you were scheduled to 8:15!" "Let me see that schedule." Sure enough, it says I was only scheduled until 8:15. Hey, I won't complain after doing an extra 45 minutes worth of Sunday pay, I punch with the override card, and go home feeling like a bit of an idiot, but I'm mostly just laughing. And that'll do it for this weeks lame story.

Juggle This:
Well, like I said before, my next video which finally has a name that doesn't involve the number 7,C.J.W.S (Can't Juggle Worth Sh**), is basically done and will be uploaded as soon as Windows Movie Maker stops being a bitch and lets me save the damn thing. My comp has been compromised for the past 8 months, and I've basically given up on fixing it in any way other than to reinstall windows and lose all of my customizations and stuff. But that has nothing to do with juggling, so I'll get back on topic. I haven't hit anything big recently with my juggling, HOWEVER. I have managed to get two gigs recently. One at my old elementary school coming up in 2 weeks, and another gig at a summer camp in August (literally about 3 days before I would head out for WJF4). So I feel good about that, and hopefully I won't screw up the routine I put together for next week.
