I've already eaten some Hot Pockets. After the shift I had at work, I might go ahead and eat some more before going to sleep. Before I decide on that, here's how my shift at work went.
Seeing as how I work retail at night, I get a walkie talkie depending on what part of the front end I'm on. It allows me to communicate with supervisors if need be. The only problem is that some interference must have been occurring somewhere. Some people could hear me loud and clear, while one of my supervisors couldn't. For some reason, that issue seemed to resolve itself after lunch.
I ran some freight in the celebration department, which gave me a nice break from the monotony of where I was at before. There's always one or two items that irritate me, because I just can't find them no matter what, but I still things still went smoothly. I volunteered to keep working on the floor, so I was asked to zone frozen.
In retail, when one zones, they pull merchandise to the front and make it look as presentable as possible.
I took cardboard and overstock to the back and went on my last break. After that, I went to frozen. I always start with the first set of end caps I see so I don't forget them. Then I did my best with the ice cream side of things. Right before I was going to do the end caps on the other side, two individuals were spotted, and I told them that the wall was already done.
Naievly figuring that frozen was going to get done at a faster rate, I told them they could start the next isle if they wanted to. I tossed a frozen item that I knew was likely in the other isle to one of them, and they proceeded to that isle. I took care of the other end caps and started on the other wall in the isle I was working on.
When I found a couple of items that were not in the isle I was working on, I took them to the other isle thinking they would be located there. What I found was one of the most irritating scenarios of my life. The other people who were sent to help me had disappeared.
Oh joy.
The same thing had happened to me on Monday morning when I was in frozen trying to make it look presentable. One person appeared to be helping me only for them to disappear soon after (with a different person showing up and staying to make sure it was done).
I was not about to do somebody else's work for them, so I simply took the items that didn't belong in frozen to their respective places (another person in the deli department helped me locate where one of them was supposed to go). I then took some ice cream to the back to be properly disposed of (broken seals) before telling one of the supervisors that the one isle looked like it hadn't been touched.
Another worker stayed to finish the job, bless his heart. As for me, it was time to clock out. Hopefully the situation of the disappearing co-worker is resolved at some point.
Now that I think about it, I believe I will have a couple of Lean Pockets before going to sleep. ;)
