The increase in
the waist is a bit disconcerting. The waistline doesn't usually move
very much. And being up 2 whole inches is weird.
Before work I
started working on the scheduling and planning of the videos that I
want to work on, and WOW that was a burst of energy that I haven't
felt in a while. On the way to work I felt the energy dropping really
hard. But I was able to recover some of the energy by telling myself
that going to work is just going to be the temporary reprieve from
working on the videos.
The problem with
that thought is that I am already feeling like I'm just waiting my
life away. I can never do what I want to do because I have to wait
for a little bit longer before I can do the other thing before I can
start doing this other thing.
With the effect
that I had yesterday after drinking that Red Bull I tried to tell
myself that I was going to try to avoid buying any energy drinks over
the day. But the best way to want to have something is to tell
yourself that you're not allowed to have it and I fell to that
temptation and did pick up a Sugar Free Red Bull during the first
half as I was being pushed for so many other things I couldn't fight
that one.
People were just
really, really stupid all day long today. All day long people just
could not comprehend anything that I could say. I would ask people to
do basic things, like run their debit/credit/SNAP card through the
reader. More than one person would just stand there staring at their
card in their hand...and then ask what they were supposed to do with
it. The card reader is right there, just run your card though the
reader. They'd just stand there confused. They'll take several times
to run their card through the reader. And then get confused with the
concept of the PIN. One person kept typing her phone number for her
PIN because if you don't have your physical card with you it is
possible to use your phone number as your shoppers card. But it
wasn't asking for her shoppers card, it was asking for her PIN for
her SNAP card.
There was about a
half dozen people would run their payment card three times over and
over, their card would get denied each time. Each person would say
that they'd have to go out to their car to get their other card, or
their cash. But then they'd never come back. I was getting kind of
frustrated because, if you don't have enough money for the order,
just tell us to cancel the order. We don't judge. We understand.
Don't tell me to hold the register so nobody else can use the
register because you ran off to never come back.
There was a
carryout that I felt bad for. It was really quite warm today and I
had to send her out to get carts because none of the carryouts were
helping people out. I know that as a supervisor it's my job to get
them to do their jobs, but it was too busy for me to stand over them
to tell them over and over that they have to offer every single
person to help them out with their groceries. And I had to keep
getting on to the carryout lady that I had sent out because she kept
only coming in with two carts at a time. It was 3:30 on a Friday afternoon. If you're coming in with one or two carts at a time, you're never going to get caught up. I tried to tell her that she needed to bring in more carts because she really needed to step it up. She insisted that she couldn't because the current cart straps that we're supposed to use are broken (management knows the new straps just haven't came in yet) I tried to tell her that the straps do help, but without the straps we can still bring in up to four carts at a time. And even at four carts at a time you'll barely brake even when it gets busy. But after a while she was still struggling so I sent out another carryout to help with carts and told her that she could come in. She started crying and sat down in the middle of the lobby. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with what felt like a tantrum. She's an adult and I was dealing with "adults" that were just acting like spoiled brats all day. She was out there for quite a while still seemingly crying. I went up to the managers and reported what was going on with her. Now for the coin flip. She was actually having a asthma attack.
I felt like shit.
I was forcing her to work harder than she was able to just so she could collapse in the lobby. I thought that maybe she had a anxiety attack that led to an asthma attack. She was still recovering as I was going to lunch.
I did remember to get the stuff for Taco Salad and set it up while I was home for lunch. I finished off the Hot Dogs that Mom gave me last week.
On the way to work and back I noticed that there are a lot of barricades around my neighborhood. It looks like they're getting ready to do some street work. That's annoying enough in itself. But I do have to wonder. Why are they going to do this road work the last week of September and possibly into October? I'm not going to lie, there are some areas that could see some improvement, but they had all summer to do this work. And the street that comes up to my house is the street that goes by the Community Collage and up to the High School. So did they intentionally wait for school to be in secession to work on the street that everybody needs to go through to get to their school?
When I got back to work I apologized to the carryout lady for pushing her so hard, she told me that it wasn't my fault that the cart straps were broken and she wants to talk to the customer service manager about becoming a checker.
My feet hurt considerably less today than over the last couple of days. Feet, calves, and knees are still really stiff and sore.
