Lol my hand WAS doing better, and now that I've worked and had to use it again to open boxes and stock, it's worse again lol. This is going to take another 2 weeks to heal properly most likely.
But...I DID miss work after 2 days off, so was happy to be there. Time honestly goes by rather quickly every time I'm there, which is something I never saw myself saying before about ANY job I've ever had...so I guess that confirms the fact that it's just certain types of jobs I can't deal with...not all of them lol.

I seriously feel for my associates sometimes having to stand at the register or just stock and do nothing else for 5+ hours. I love my job because there's always something to do and I'm usually doing a million different things at once. But just standing there and doing repetitive shit for that long would freaking kill me. Idk how they do it.
Granted stocking is way better than casiering, I think. Less having to deal with people (unless someone asks where something is) and less pressure.
However, the dumbest question that I keep hearing every single day that people ask me is "is this a dollar? How about this?" Well, we ARE a dollar store, so yes, everything is a dollar.

None of us even know when or what exactly is happening with that. I did see a post on LinkedIn from our CEO that there have so far been 65 dollar tree/family dollar combined stores made throughout the US as an experimental type thing...and family dollar has way higher prices than 1.25. So who even knows at this point...we're also going to start doing self checkout at some point, but also don't know when. But bottom line is, for now, everything is still a fucking dollar LOL. I just get so tired of hearing that question.
Honestly, I think it's a pretty stupid move on their part, though. We're literally the last large chain retailer that still stuck to everything being a dollar. And now with this happening, we're going to be competing with stores like Dollar General, Five Below...etc. And potentially lose some loyal customers along the way...that's what happens when people get fucking greedy.
...and not to mention, it's going to make it harder on our employees to have to transition from simply stocking shelves to having to make sure the merchandise goes in exact right spot and matches the prices on the shelves.

So this is what I told my husband in regard to us living together...
He literally doesn't see how he's being manipulative and selfish...and unless that changes and he starts taking care of his health, it's not happening. So I'm leaving it up to him but highly doubt it will change anything even though I'm still holding out hope.

So I realized that all I had to do was get regular cross stud earrings and just wear them upside down...lol. Why spend the extra money on something more expensive when I can be creative...? 
Still can't really wear them to work, though...which is the shitty part.
