WTF is the deal with work these days?  I can't seem to win!  I go in a 9am this morning and start working like a dog getting ready for the TV crew tomorrow.  My DM is in the store also working flat out trying to help me re-merchandise and process new stock.  The associate working with me leave at 3pm and her relief was due in at 3pm.  Guess who didn't show up or call in .  I don't ask for a lot!  I expect people to show up when they are schedued and call if there is a problem.  Instead  I get to spend 3pm-5pm complelety alone in the store with 5 million projects and a crap ton of customers.  All the while thinking...Maybe she got confused and thought she comes in at 5pm.  I'm sure she'll show up at 5!  No one else can come in and guess what. No. She didn't show up. So Yes.  I got to stay until 10:10pm tonight with no break, food or rest.  Lucky freakin' me!   someone must pay!  I don't know how often I can be the bigger person here!

Breathe.  Hell, Breath my ass!  I'm going to bed.

Success is as dangerous as failure,
and we are often our own worst enemy.

What does it mean that success is as dangerous as failure?
He who is superior is also someone's subordinate.
Receiving favor and loosing it both cause alarm.
That is what is meant by success is as dangerous as failure.
What does it mean that we are often our own worst enemy?
The reason I have an enemy is because I have "self".
If I no longer had a "self", I would no longer have an enemy.

Love the whole world as if it were your self;
then you will truly care for all things.
