Wascally Wabbit

This weekend was a weekend for work and no play. From day job straight to night job. My Tony Bianco manager says she used to do exactly what I'm getting myself into. She finishes work at 8am then work at Tony at 12pm. She advises me against it. Friday. 12-5pm at Tony Bianco 5pm - 2:30am at Jwow Saturday 1 - 6:30pm at Tony Bianco 9pm - 1:30am at Jwow I was looking forward to my Sunday, my day of rest. Except Myer calls me on my way to Tony on the Saturday. They tell me I have work on Sunday at 11am to 5pm. And that I've got a few shifts this week. Damnit. I want to rest. I hoped my rosters didnt clash. Working at Myer is much easier than working at Tony. Since Myer is such a big company, sales just come to you. Customers already want to buy. They are also more appreciative of service since there is a lack of it at Myer. I make people happy. customers ask for my name. Filippino aunties and generic european couples love me. They say that I'm a good girl. I tell them about the promotions, buy two pairs of shoes and get the 2nd half price. They buy two. Sucked in. Apparently we have $400 - $600 Innovare leather boots going for $40 now. I need to check these babies out then resell on ebay. Joking. Or am I? Tmrw I find out if i have cancer or not. It's also a well needed rest day for me. I feel I've been working hard but the money isn't rolling in. My room is a mess, I'm only home to sleep. Clothes and shoes are on my floor, the dirty ones mixed with the clean ones and I have to go by memory to know which ones I need to throw into the wash. I'm always in a rush because I choose to press the snooze button three times. I skip breakfast, or have it on the train, and chew gum instead of brushing my teeth. I spent the most time putting on my make up and deciding what to wear. Working at Myer, you can never go over the top with appearances. Most the sales assistants are dressed up in nice fitting suits, high heels and nude stockings. It is the retail job where dressing like a flight attendant isnt out of place. Tony Bianco requires me to wear smart casual but the girls are all pretty dressed up. They wear high heels and platforms. I cant wait to get my first pair of Tony Biancos at staff prices. Oh yeah. I played with my rabbit today. I let it run around my room. It poo'ed once. I picked it up with tissue and put it in the bin. Thank god rabbit poo are dry pebbles. I'm only introuble when it pee's or when I dont pick up the poo and I or Ate step on it. My rabbit likes running around my room. It sniffs everything, its favourite things to sniff are my dirty socks and bottom of my shoes. It nibbles on my slippers. Hehe. It runs into my wardrobe. It likes sticking its nose in tight spaces. I get worried when it disappears. I can tell its happy because its running, jumping and doing twists in the air. It thinks this is a game. When I pick it up it struggles because it wants to play some more. When its scared it bunches up in a corner. I talk to it as I pick it up. It doesnt stop struggling unless I support her hind legs. When I sit on the floor I can feel something tickling my back, it feels like an eyelash batting against my skin. I turn around to find Pokey sniffing my skin. I cuddled it for a good one hour. I let it crawl on my tummy and chest. It's curious nose sniffs my face. I get used to the sharp claws digging into my skin. Pain is love. Eventually it falls asleep in my lap, its face in a warm spot between my crotch. I know its sleeping because its very still. I feel sleepy too. Falling asleep in each others arms, thats so romantic. Suddenly she wakes, she shakes, her fluff is messy. Pokey starts licking my hands. Hehe. I love my rabbit because its so cute and fluffy I can pat it forever. There are a few sensitive spots on Pokey's back that I try to avoid otherwise it flinches. Pokey gets scared with loud or sudden noises. She's getting used to the loud noises being in my room and having my music on. My rabbit is growing quickly. It's much bigger than it was 1 week ago. Its going to be a big full grown rabbit. Her ears are already starting to flop. It won't be long now til they will be completely down :) ______________________ Talking to junkies on the train. Get on at Sunshine station, get off at Footscray. I smell bourbon. He wants to hi 5 me. I really don't want to touch his hand. Cmon. Don't leave me hanging. He smiles. The hi 5 is reluctantly deliverered. There is something sticky on his hands and our hands bind for a split second. Dried alcohol and coke binds our temporary friendship. _______________________ Mum hates cooking. She cooks to keep us alive. Sometimes she just cant be fucked and takes advantage of the $4 a box closing time chinese take away meals.
Stocked
It was my dad's birthday yesterday. I got him a couple tickets to experience something new. This time is a 45 minute evening cruise on a 19th Century tall ship. They encourage travellers to help sail the ship. Exciting for my dad. It leaves from Williamstown. This is significant because papa used to work on Williamstown ships when he first came to Australia. Hopefully this brings back some fond memories. I believe my goal of encouraging papa to go out and do things is working. Yesterday him and mum went to Ballarat, mum said they went to the Ballarat Art Gallery. Tmrw they are going to Castlemane and did I want to come?? Fuck no.
