Brothers...

I have this idea that one day I will get home from work and mine will have remembered that I'd like to eat something and not have to hunt through the fridge or go to a lot of effort to make it.  But not today.  We had pizza last night and I was hoping for leftovers, but my youngest brother ate most of them and my second oldest finished off the rest.
A customer at work decided I couldn't help them and insisted on speaking with the manager, which made things awkward for me and harder for them.  Dropped a tray into the cooking area but didn't hit anyone or make a mess.
They were putting up some new stuff and some glass got dropped and broke-I was there having breakfast with my parents and grandma(+ two siblings)-which did not help in setting things up.  No one got hurt though.

Ow...

Spent an extra half hour at work saturday, then had women's conference.  Yesterday I woke up way early feeling like someone just stabbed me in my left calf with a rather blunt yet narrow object.  Both my calves were stiff all day.
Of course my poor manager found out something was very wrong with a pie we were serving.  The customer brought up the piece they'd paid for and said it was salty.  My manager put a bite in their mouth and then dropped it back on the plate.  The plate was then dropped in the trash, and the manager pulled the remaining pie out of the fridge.  I might have found it funny if not for the look of horror on my manager's face as they tried the dessert.
Then today things were a big scattered, and we had another contest.  But no prize for winning.  Just to see how many pumpkin bread and any combo meals we could sell. I might have won that one, but I wasn't sure...

Coughing...

My brother tried to juice some apples today and forgot to maintain a water level, so the pot boiled dry.  I checked it and took it off the burner to prevent a fire, but the hot pad I put it on nearly caught fire anyway-my hands smell like smoke now...-so that made things interesting.
Otherwise its been a normal friday...

Yay.

I should be a bit more excited, but I'm still digesting and don't have a lot of energy.  We had yet another 'competition' at work, with the combo 3's again, and I won.  Barely.  we were neck and neck for most of the day and then I got one more at the last of the lunch rush than my coworker.  I'd say it might not be fair, but we were both new, and they were ahead for the first hour or so.
So I got a chocolate croissant and they grabbed a mouse dome.  We got off at the same time, which was 20 minutes late for them and over a half hour early for me.

Great...

Looks like my parents and two of my siblings got something from the food we ate for my brother's birthday.  I didn't eat the stuff, so I'm okay.  But they are not.
Harvested some of our stuff from the garden after my dentist appointment today-had to pay without insurance, not cool-and then canned the sauce my mom made with the tomato's from saturday.  Still need to work on using the apples...

Tired...

Didn't sleep well last night, which did not help my recovery from my workout.  So I'm sore as well.
My sister woke up sick too, so I'm not the only one.  Work was normal otherwise.

Apples...

Got home from work saturday and my parents + one sibling had picked five or six baskets of apples which we took care of one for the next hour-and some tomato's at the same time.
Today was normal at work, though I had to talk to my manager about a schedule change and make sure they knew I was covering for a coworker saturday(upcoming).  So instead of having both friday and saturday off, I have wednesday. Joy...

'gasping'

It's a little warmer today than I expected for the stuff I wanted to get done.  Walked to the bank for monetary stuff, then to the store for personal stuff.  Then this afternoon I was checking the fluid levels in my truck and decided to clean the windows while I was at it.  The fact that all the paper towels I used were at least partially black told me I'd waited far too long to clean them.
Should make driving in the coming winter easier...

Not Good.

A coworker couldn't make it to work today, and we had a long rush for lunch.  Being shorthanded never helps with that.  So I was on register with the new trainee, two managers were running drive, phones expo, and lobby with one coworker just getting the orders together, another stuck on drive.  If either of us cashier's got a breather we ran to help expo or clear lobby.  Felt like hours but really only two, but the times before and after were so crammed things didn't calm down til about 2:40.
At least we still managed good customer service despite the rush...

Joy...

The university I attend-or will next semester-decided to test their emergency alert system this morning, which kind of took up all the save space in my cell phone text box.
Work had another competition, though no one won or got a prize.  We were just trying to get rid of the last of the caramel apple bread.  The other cashier and I sold three apiece, the drive through may have gotten one, but I don't know.
Got to see The Amazing Spiderman 2 last night, which is both sad and cool.  Not to mention the typical teenager issues about growing up...

Tuesday, September 16, 2014

Okay...

Work would have been normal save for one of our cash register's being down-only we found out later one of the cords that plugs into the base had come loose enough that the computer didn't have power.
Made the lunch rush interesting though.
Got to make my first smoothie too, which was fun despite having to lie on top of the freezer to get the fruit stuff.

Not Enjoying Life at the Moment...

But we had a little cashier competition today to see who could sell the most of a certain combo meal and our pumpkin bread.  I tied on the combo with the winner, but they beat me with the bread.

Sigh...

Made it to work barely on time.  Still feeling a little off after donating, but that goes away when I eat.  Work was crazy busy 90% of the time, so I wasn't bored at all.  Actually didn't get to finish a project I was given, but nothing big.
Got Papa Murphy's for dinner last night, as I didn't want to make anything.
Come home and my mom grabbed McDonalds (Yuck, don't like that place) for lunch and my brothers saved me some.

Of Course...

Donated blood this morning, now mother nature wants her turn.  Sigh...
Made it to the launch party for Micheal Vey 4 yesterday, which meant 2 hours of standing in line then 40 minutes of driving home near 11 p.m.  But it was fun regardless.
Trying to get my laundry done before my dad needs to turn off the water to fix something. Last load is in the dryer...

9/11

To think, 13 years ago it was, and far too many people forget about it so easily.   Funny, that my youngest brother turned 6 eight days later.
Work was real slow when I first got there, then picked up for a steady run that lasted the rest of my shift.
Got asked to come in an hour later though(again).

Wednesday, September 10, 2014

Hmm...

My brothers are arguing about who's turn it is to walk the door again...
Work was busy, and there was a new manager starting today.  They'd been working in another city and now came to this location.
Getting much better at the sandwich stuff, but still working on salads and smoothies.

Weird...

There is a new employee who started yesterday.  I worked the same shift as they did today, and seeing how much I now know verses what they are just learning makes me feel a lot better about my performance.  Not because I'm doing better than they are, but it shows how far I've come.
Though my supervisor was getting on my case about keeping busy when I'd stopped to get out of the way while looking for something to do.  Did a lot of expo(exposition, or in other words taking orders out to customers) and had a hard time getting my voice loud enough for them to hear me.
At least I can recognize most of the samples we put out-just not the newest seasonal stuff.

Monday, September 8, 2014

Sigh...

Been feeling a bit under the weather, and today the weather is definitely gloomy.  Well, just dark clouds overhead, no rain yet.
Bought the Saratov Approach so my sister could see it-and I liked it.  Work was normal, though I messed up once.  Not big though.
Slowly getting to know my coworker's names...

Not Helping...

Woke up with a headache again.  Slept in too.  I think it rained last night.
Nice day though...

Thursday, September 4, 2014

Gah...

Keep getting email notifications from the video job I no longer have.  Why didn't they take me off the list?
Work was normal, though I got off early last night and a bit on time today.  No work tomorrow.
And I got to spend the evening with my sister and nieces...

Tuesday, September 2, 2014

Hmm...

Was asked to come in an hour later today, and then a coworker asked me to switch their 6 hour shift tomorrow with my five hour one.
Otherwise it was a normal day.  Got my photo's, which look good, but too late to turn in. Sigh...

Labor Day!

And I still had work.  But it was much better today when compared to saturday.  One complaint, but not one that was a big deal, and not involving me.
Get paid either tonight or tomorrow, so that's good.
