[02:24:16] <crutchy> pretty lucky my deal is i get paid for whatever time i work
[02:24:23] <Bytram> GOOD!
[02:24:37] <Bytram> otoh, they don't pay ya if you're not working... right?
[02:24:47] <crutchy> pretty much
[02:24:51] <Bytram> 'cept holiday/vacation, of course
[02:24:54] <crutchy> yeah
[02:24:56] <Bytram> same here

[02:26:28] <Bytram> so, store is open longer hours, and there's still the same number of us trying to cover that amount of time, along with increased number of shoppers

[02:26:40] <crutchy> that would be hard
[02:26:56] <Bytram> yep... does take it's toll
[02:27:20] <Bytram> otoh, there is a small bit of commission, so increased sales means some extra coin for my pocket
[02:27:49] <Bytram> had an excellent week so far, until today when I got hit with several large returms
[02:27:53] <Bytram> *returns
[02:28:13] <Bytram> net sales worked out to about minus $100 per hour
[02:28:14] <Bytram> :(
[02:28:21] <crutchy> every little bit helps i suppose. there are guys i work with that work longer hours just to get more pay. its good, but i would rather be home than at work
[02:28:29] <crutchy> oh bugger
[02:28:33] <crutchy> sorry to hear
[02:28:39] <Bytram> appreciated
[02:28:47] <Bytram> used to drive me nuts until I relized
[02:29:08] <Bytram> that I had no truoble accepting the sales, and returns are part of retail, so I had to accept the returns being a thing, too.
[02:29:25] <Bytram> still stings a bit, but not so bad as it used to be
[02:29:40] <crutchy> hopefully things pick up
[02:30:04] <Bytram> agreed, but not TOO much! I can only do so much so quickly !
[02:30:22] <crutchy> hah yeah
[02:30:37] <Bytram> and, not to toot my own horn, I tend to not idle much
[02:30:46] <Bytram> s/much/well/

[02:32:35] <crutchy> something something something... irc something :D
[02:32:38] <Bytram> oh, and I posted on-the-order-of 30 (maybe 40?) stories this week in my spare time, too.
[02:32:47] <crutchy> ooh
[02:33:02] <crutchy> must admit i haven't been doing much interacting online lately
[02:33:13] <crutchy> i err. discovered minecraft :-/
[02:33:23] * crutchy blames kids
[02:33:47] <Bytram> and I'm a member of an organization where I cut back to attending only 2 meetings this past week
[02:34:03] * Bytram knows VERY well not to get into minecraft or Kerbel

[02:36:18] <Bytram> same here
[02:36:53] <Sulla> After spending the whole 2000s playing runescape decided to not play anything but civilization iv
[02:37:50] <Bytram> sounds tempting, as well.
