    yes and as the store manager i gotta do what helps my store which means putting myself on six days (two five hours days to keep with 50 hours) because we're short staffed this week. so yeah and tbh no one forced me to do it i chose to do it

    at least you guys can go in at times and help out when needed for extra hours where it is needed. where i work hours are usually capped and when we're at the point of the semester where work study students have run out of their funding, plus the coworkers on college payroll still in school taking time off for studying for their finals at the local uni, staffing can get really, really tight

    because we're salary so if we work more than 50 hours we still get paid the same. :')

    50 hours.... damnnnn.

    Granted my store director does that himself.

    I've never gone that hard before, but I have some shifts where I don't get breaks because we're short staffed too. x_x

    Good luck with your week!

    I have a whopper of a cold. Add on the fact I'm incredibly stubborn and don't take medicine(like I could be dying and I still wouldn't go to the Doctor type of deal) and it's been one heck of a ride the past three days. Like during the worst part of it, I literally had no idea what planet I was on lol. I blame Game of Thrones because I thought I was in Winterfell for a moment...

    Why not take the medicine? At least something to alleviate the cold, like herbal teas or something with zinc and/or vitamin c in it

    I'm inclined to agree with Nah - you should def take some medicine. You don't even have to go to the doctor, could just get some general medz from a pharmacy!

    I don't drink Tea and I'm a very picky, stubborn and odd person. Common sense would be to take things to alleviate but I'm just too stubborn for my own good lol. I will say that I coughed up one heck of a phlegm that would easily rank in my HoF and after doing so felt immeasurably better. Still have little appetite so I'm not out of the woods but I'm improving by the hour.

    Avoid drinking stuff that dries your throat. Coffee and the like.
    Honey or tea or other hot, sweet drinks usually help.
