Let me start off by acknowledging the fact that a common theme in my blog posts is my dislike towards work. This is my outlet for the revenge I can not have, because it is not mine for the taking. Besides, it is my blog so I get to say whatever I want!
Today did not go well. I started it off with doing tips, which sucked. We only made $1.26 so I barely got any. I basically had to spend 3 hours listening to Michelle complain and complain about how terrible being pregnant is and how she can't do any work because she is too sick. Okay, you are 4 weeks pregnant, big woop. There are 3 other pregnant women at our store who still manage to work hard and they are much further along! AND I asked Michelle to run a simple errand of getting me some quarter and penny rolls so I could finish rolling the tips and it took her an HOUR. Oh well, I got paid to sit around while she dilly dallied about. On top of that, I messed up somehow because I had 50 bucks left over. Then I got on the floor, in drive thru (of course) and I managed to screw everything up in a matter of minutes. I hit the wrong button on my register, but it was not as simple as voiding it out because I already sent the customer on her way, with the very last egg salad sandwhich. So there was no way to refund it, my manager had to call another store to get the sku in order to correct my till. Then I realized I was ringing on Cyndi's till. Great. I could get fired for that. That is not the end, the next customer ordered a bacon sandwhich, unfortunately I did not realize Cyndi already put that in the oven for me, so we ended up with two that were cooked, the LAST two. I just was not on my game today. I think I started to pick up again... I got my normal workload done even faster than normal. Sky did not come in again, no surprise there. She called to say she would be late (10 minutes after her shift started) and then she sat in the parking lot on her phone for an hour. HELLO, can't you see that our store is shielded completely by clear glass windows? We could easily see her out there. Then her friend comes in asking for her, we told her she wasn't there and so then she mysteriously leaves and goes out to her car with her. Then Sky comes in crying saying that she had a bad day and can't work. Are you kidding me!? Everyone has bad days. Heck, I came to work holding back tears a few weeks ago and I still worked my butt off. I understand that there are days where it is unbearable, but I can not remember a single time that Sky came to work on time, if at all. Of course, I had to stay late after my already long day... and with my unbegun paper hanging over my head. I got home at 4:30 and wrote my rough draft in 30 minutes and put together a presentation in the other 30. I decided to just blow off my reading assignment that was also due, because it was the least of the impact on my grade. I took Sarah to work, picked up some Panda and proceeded to my class. Come to find out, the paper AND the presentation aren't due until Wednesday. So basically I came with everything but the one assignment that actually was due. Luckily, my professor showed me mercy and said I could turn it in on Wednesday despite her "no late work" policy. She could see how much work I had done and that I just got mixed up. After class, I was invited to a party that I would never go to, but the point is, I got invited by pretty much the most attractive guy I've ever seen. He is not my type at all, but hey, I have never been invited to a party before haha. Then I was looking forward to the midnight showing of transformers that I thought was on tonight, but I was wrong about that too! It is tomorrow night, and the group I was going with probably won't be able to go tomorrow. I am so bummed. On top of that, I already had 2 cups of coffee and a soda in preparation for the late night, so I will not be sleeping any time in the near future.
What a day.
I am mostly looking forward to Friday which will be an all day adventure with one of my greatest friends. We were going to go to the lake, but it looks like that would be pretty tricky for two minors. So we are coming up with an alternative day of fun! I am stoked! Friday is my day off from school and work all at once. It doesn't get much better than that. And I won't be covering any shifts that day, nooooooo thank you.
Oh and to end on a high note, I recieved an A on my philosophy paper. She said that she automatically gives everyone a C, because that is what an average paper deserves. She wrote so much feedback on my paper about how great it is and how well I support my thesis, in spite of the difficulty of it. It practically made my night, especially after all the work I put into it and how open and honest it required me to be.
