I'd Call This An "FML" Thread, But I'm Not That Emo

Seriously, 'm not. I can do a "bleh" thread. Yeah, let's go with "bleh."

So I'm working at the convenience store in town. It's neat - there's not a lot of grunt work to do, you just have to be friendly - and the bosses are nice. It's a family run business, and they understand if you want time off, need a pay cheque advance, or something like that. It affords me lots of nice reading time when there's not a lot to do.

The thing is, since it's a family business, you run into some troubles - like today, I opened the store for 8AM, and after a little deliberation with his wife, my boss asked me to work 'till 7PM. Since he's usually nice and courteous, I felt inclined to return the favor, and I'm stuck working my eleven hour shift on one of the first genuinely warm, sunny days of the month.

Blleeeeeeeehh.
