Just this once....(long rant about work)
Im actually going to do something here i havent done much of. Im going to whine and really complain about work.
I go into work yesterday for my shift i thought would be somewhat busy but no so much so that im ready to pass out from exhaustion.
when i get there i notice there are big air dryers on the floor...2 on the main floor and one in back for the office. come to find out tuesday the toilet overflowed and it wasnt realized until the water was all the way through the back area to the main floor.
many projects to do. we have a deal this weekend (starting today through monday) and that area has to be gone through and sorted. meaning 8 movies / shelf on large racks and 6 on the smaller. well....right now we have so many dvds in that area they are just stuffed into it and have to shifted. i managed to get from "A" to mid "F". during my shift leaving everything else to sit ...all the while helping customers. i was so sweaty and dusty and felt like i was doing aerobics. i feel like i got nothing done for all the workout i got out of it. also had to take down some sale signs and was supposed to put up the new ones but i didnt have time.
after that i had a ton of stuff to check in and then put away. all this again while for some reason every one in town decided it was movie night. the last hour was the worst and i was ready to leave by the time i sent the last person out the door and locked it.
once closing the doors i had lots of movies to put away. normally i have time to get them done before i even close up ...but not last night. then i had to do the paper work and head out.
i was so tired when i left work last night. even though it was a 6hour shift...i felt like it was over 8 hours. i realized that i also only had drank one small bottle of water during all that and i was a bit dehydrated i think.
ok....enough whining about work...........maybe not...one more thing....
come to find out one of the staff is out for 3 days sick (dr note) so shifts for today (friday) had to be figured out. i cant work days yet until kiddo goes to school but i took the evening "second person" shift...meaning, im not closing but im there until 10pm. so...extra shift for me today. then i do it all again tomorrow. And then.....one of the other girls that has another full time job is being sent out to another facility for her other job for 3 weeks. so we are short a person yet again. plus...the new person that started has said the pressure is too much and I dont think she is going to make another week. so we are down again...short staffed.
4 shifts this week...thats fine....next week....4 shifts. i was hoping once school started to back down to only 2 shifts a week...but that isnt going to happen for a few weeks now. oh well...help out and do what i need to do for the company.
ok...now im done.
how about Big Brother? OH MY GOSH! I really do enjoy this show and only because i get so angry watching how stupid people are with their decisions. As of right now with who is left in the house...i want Wil to win.
im off to read up on my blogs and Big Brother board. have a good day...and weekend if you get to enjoy one.
hugs
