Can't say much here. From 30 hours a week to over 40, my job has been quite hectic. It's taking a toll on my body as well, as I really haven't had much of a choice than to eat take out. With the new boss, the standards have been raised and everyone -- well, SHOULD be everyone -- is working hard to get the store looking great.
Last night I had to soak in a tub full of hot water just to sooth a spasming back and aching legs. I inadvertently missed a TSAT update last Friday because I had to wake up very early just to be at work all fucking day. Open to Close shifts are now a common thing for me, which last 11 hours per day. This week, because someone had something "planned" for the 4th, I had to break 40 hours to work 5 more. At least I have Sunday off, but I feel miserable and I may just take that day to lie down.
At least I'm getting paid well despite minimum wage. Maybe that raise might come when the DM gets back from his vacation.

Several days ago, I received a new computer Refurbished from hp. I paid less than 500 USD and it's a beast -- to me, at least. AMD QuadCore processor (2.0 GHz IIRC), 6 GB RAM, 640 GB Hard drive (more than enough), and an integrated GeForce 9100. I'll have a new video card installed whenever my resources are free again. The machine is running Windows Vista SP1. Not bad, but I've been converting all of my displays back to Classic mode (like, 98 era, man).

While I am queuing up any commissions I receive, I can't work on any for a little while -- hell, I may not get much of my own shit down. I am not expecting my workload to lessen for AT LEAST two more weeks.
