payday

rita has a crush on steve kimball.
today (or yesterday, i suppose–friday the 13th) was my last day selling pantyhose. i got to work at 4:30….walked around “straightening things up” for an hour, went on a break (rita insisted that i take a break even though she was scheduled to leave at 4:30…she didn’t actually end up going until 6:15…anyway. steve came to visit while i was on break and he talked to rita for awhile. he found me on a bench twenty minutes later and bought me a smoothie. i got other visitors tonight, too. but even with all the visitors, tonight was probably the slowest night yet. every minute felt long. when rita was hugging me goodbye though, i realized that i will in fact miss working in the legwear department in some respects. i’ve learned a lot. at the end of the summer i’ll compare my four jobs and make some kind of a list of skills acquired, etc. i’ll also continue to profile my coworkers. but for now i’m exhausted. work is exhausting.
