I did quite a bit of relaxing yesterday after a long week of work. I'm sure everybody's been through the same experience as I just went through. That's why I skipped posting yesterday.
To make up for it, I'll try posting two entries today.
It seems like my so called "weekends" are just wasted anymore. There have been some exceptions as of late, and for that I am thankful. It seems that I spend more time during my nights off recovering from the previous week of work.
Perhaps I was in "Friday Mode" when I went in Sunday night. Or perhaps something else was going on. That something else that's hard to explain. I'm certain others have gone through this at least once in their life.
I just kept getting irritated and frustrated.
I'm fully aware that December is really busy. I still thought I could achieve what I wanted to in order to feel accomplished. That meant cleaning what needed to be cleaned as quickly as possible while everything else that was assigned was finished.
The impulse merchandise was put away, but the red totes had to be sorted through. These red totes come in and contains merchandise from various departments, including candy for the cash registers.
It seemed like I kept getting interrupted by customers. I just wanted to make it through the shift. After my final break, I was pulled from the front end to zone frozen.
Oh. Joy.
At least I wasn't abandoned this time. More good news came from HR as there was a time clock issue (it kept claiming that I was missing a clock out time from Saturday morning) that they were able to help me fix. If punches aren't fixed in a very particular manner, an error is still shown on the time clock when a punch is made.
Still, I was quite frustrated with life in general at that particular moment. I just wanted to clock out and start my 48 hours of freedom. I did manage to give a couple of friends a ride away from work, and that made all the difference.
Oh, and I wished my sister a happy birthday and talked with Robert Bird, a friend of mine who is also a fellow associate from another store. I relaxed by having some food and some "stress tonics." Soon after that, I fell asleep.
At this moment, I'm washing dishes in the dishwasher and am about to get a shower. From there, I'll figure it out. Have a wonderful day, everyone. :)
