Sales have been really slow lately, without the normal uptick in service to offset, so I have had my hours "reduced" at work.
The boss strongly hinted that if I hang around when I was not working I might get more hours or "other incentives" (I hope he is talking about pizza, otherwise.... eeeeew!).
I get to play on the gaming machines that are setup to demo to the customers, and I have built a good "refurbished" machine to eventually sell that I will be using for a bit when I want to hide in the back room.
I got to work today at 8:30am, to setup for the 9am opening, but can't clock in until 9. Basically I hit the on-buttons on 20 or so machines then sit here to type this up.
Registering for unemployment took me about 45 minutes online, with the mandatory resume creation taking another 45 minutes. I got that done last week, but still need to show up at the office for the required face-to-face meeting.
I hope the economy picks up soon. This sucks.
