Work is once again eating me alive

loquaciousSo today marked my 7th straight day in a row of work. I didn't work full 9 hour shifts every day, but I did work at least 6 hours each of the last 7 days.
I was in at 5am Thursday, then I closed at midnight on Friday. Because of certain BS that I only found out about today there were only two of us to close the store at midnight. At around 11:20 my manager (the other one closing with me) got a call that she said was really suspicious. 10 minutes later I got a call that while the content (asking when we closed) was perfectly fine, something about the call gave me the creeps. It just... wasn't right.
Well, no one came in between 10 and midnight, so that was okay. We had a really easy close and it was about 5 after when we locked up the store. Only just as we came outside a car pulled up in the lot. A car full of men. My manager and I are the only other people parked in the lot. At midnight. Two women. It was a bad, BAD vibe. My manager used to be in the army, and even she was freaked out.
We managed to get out and to our cars without them making a move, but when we left they followed us out of the lot. I probably should have called the cops, but I was more concerned with just getting my ass out of there, I don't know that I've ever felt so honestly threatened. When my turn off came they kept following my boss, who I later learned didn't know we were being followed. Thankfully she lives at least 45 minutes away from our store, and the chances that they would follow her all that way seemed small.
It took me hours to calm down enough to fall asleep after that. I worked again on Saturday, but only until 10pm. When I talked to our GM about it I found out that the car that was in the lot had been there before with similar creepy vibes. If I had known then that these people had done this before I would have called 911 as soon as they pulled into the lot. But I didn't, and I was kind of pissed when I found out they knew about this. But now that it's happened twice, at least,
Other than that work was... reasonable. But I cannot wait for a day off tomorrow, as much as I know I probably should go in to get ready for Tuesday. Instead I might just sleep all of tomorrow.
