The fish I bought two weeks ago is dead; or almost there any way. I'm sure if I poke him, he'd swim around before going belly up again. Good thing about working in a pet store is the 40% discount I get on all items in the store. That's a cheap $0.55 goldfish withouth the discount. I don't know why he died, he's in a 10 gallon tank by himself and doesn't get over fed. I've seen him eat his food once (but only that one time) and if he's starved to death, it's his own damn stupid fault :-D
Alright, today was a good day. I got to visit my sister and found out she's moving to the city I live in. I figured since I was already in town, I may as well stop in at work, Sharla asked for my help so I got a 6 hour shift in today. Didn't get a break, though, but that's ok 'cause Subway is only a block away. Loaded Original Pizza subs own you! Come to think of it, that was the only thing I ate today.

Yesterday was pretty cool. I woke up and was getting ready to go to work at 1pm like Sharla told me to and she calls me. Now I don't have to go to work untl 2 so I've got an extra hour to just sit around and do absolutely nothing. 1:25 comes around and I figure I should eat or something because it's a 15 or 20 minute ride into town to the Pet Store. I left at 1:45 and got into the store just at 2pm. Sharla immediately had me cleaning mouse cages. I had to scoop shavings out of the cages and aquariums with mice in them and there was crap all in there. It was good fun.
Not to bore anybody with details, the rest of the night I was scraping algae out of tanks (I scraped about 13 of them) before I was informed that it was closing time. I thought Damn, time went by fast but probably only because I wasn't wearing a watch. So I'm giving birds and rodents their food and water for the night and these two girls show up. They (without permission) open the ferret cage behind me and take the ferret out. I didn't mind because these girls were cute, so I let them hold it while I was picking mouse doodoo and shavings out of the food in the cages.
The girls leave, I'm mopping floors and Sharla (the manager) asks me So, do you think you still want to work here? and I said Oh yeah. Sure so she said Good, here's your schedule and she began to laugh. Angela commented That's some way to hire somebody. So I got the job. I work 54 hours over the next two weeks at $8 and that is r0xoR.
Oh yeah, I found out from Angela that all the girls are older than me. Angela is 21 and she's the youngest, so go figure. The other girls are 22 to 25. The cutest of them all, Lisa, who I would have thought was 19 is actually 25, married and has two children. Damn. At least there's always one hot honey that comes into the store per day.
