Two hours sleep.
Elevated heart rate.
Migraine for last hour.
Shortness of patience.
Hands won't stop shaking.
Outright physical discomfort at the idea of going to work on Monday.
Glad to know the anxiety is returning thanks to GameStop's insistence on being open right now.

With the exception of Sunday, I can't in good faith say the job is exactly hard. It's mainly packing boxes and bags, and fielding phone calls. The only challenge is when something fucks up or when you get bombarded with shit because they can only afford to have one person work.
Hours were cut twice from 10AM-9PM, to 12PM-8PM and now 12-7. They're talking about letting customers in on the first and that thought makes me so genuinely fearful I might shit myself if they were towards profit over employee safety which both recently & historically they have.
Literally they're giving us busy work because how dead it usually is and demanding we stay profitable with hints of jobs dropping if we can't. As well as maintaining our metrics which were already hard enough to push bc the membership and warranties are fucking garbage.
Last week my store was #1 in our district at $3000 in sales.
Last week, I caught up on all of Star Wars, got 4 hours into Dragon Quest XI, & wrote 2 essays.
Last week I cried every night after coming home & thrice while there bc of how ¼ of the customers are treating us.

I've experienced more anxiety and fear at my job since this Corona Virus shit started that I did back when I was working in the local mall GameStop under an abusive boss who the company refuses to fire to this fucking day.
I forgot to mention that as a key holder, I'm basically having to run the store by myself bc the Assistant Manager isn't helping nor putting himself on the schedule and the Store Lead quit & of the two of us working, I'm the more experienced one. Fuck me sideways off a cliff.
Literally the only things keeping me sane are Hamilton being looped repeatedly every shift and two people who have had to deal with so much of my insufferable bullshit in the last 3 weeks that I'm afraid it's going to ruin my relationships with them.
But y'know my numbers are some of the best in the district despite not having the energy in me to care anymore. And I'm working 30 hour pay periods. 1st world problems, I know, I know I am I'm lucky to have employment even if it's starting to seemingly kill me.
Fucking god forbid one of the GameStop company men find this thread. That's my fucking job gone, not that I want it at this point. I want my time, sanity, & my goddamn passion back. I loved this job & now I'm numbed to it on good days & afraid more of it often than not.
