I shouldn't have
had finished off the pitcher of Tea last night. Had a hard time
falling asleep after posting the blog last night. Body was tired,
mind was tired, brain WAS WIRED FOR SOUND. I made another pitcher of
tea this morning, but I didn't have any of it after work. I'm not
going to go full caffeine free, but I'm going to try to avoid it in
the evening. I'll see if that helps me sleep better.
A little disappointed at the weight tracking over the last couple of day, sure I haven't been on the diet, but does it collapse so quickly if you're not that close to the diet 100% of the time?
The first day
back from vacation always really pisses me off. It's always a mix of
me not wanting to be there and people just being so freaking stupid.
I could make this a REALLY long “Mark whines about work” post,
but that's not what I want this project to be. But I did add some
things to my Store Stories to do list. I was starting to get
overwhelmed and befuddled and the Backup Customer Service Manager was
there I tried to ask her for help because I was starting to get
agitated as it was during the after church rush on holiday on my
first day back from vacation and she was on the phone with her
sister. She just scoffed, rolled her eyes and told me that I just,
“need to calm down” People ask me why I don't ask for help, and
then when I ask for help they say that I'm on my own....and then
people ask me why I never ask for help.
One strange
complaint was that a lady called to ask if our store was grilling any
ribs today, as it was Mothers' Day. She was really rather upset that
we weren't grilling any ribs. I told her that if any store was doing
the grilling today it'd be the big store on the north end of town.
But she told me that she had already called and asked them. I asked
her if the big store wasn't grilling why would any of the smaller
stores be grilling? She had just insisted that it was disrespectful
to mothers to not have the grill outside going to grill the ribs.
There are a couple of holidays that they do have the grill going
outside. If I remember correctly it's just for Memorial Day and Labor
day. The other holidays don't really have that. The thing is that
they really aren't “cooking” the ribs outside, they just heat
them up. It's the same as if they're heating them up back in the deli
ovens. But the lady was just so upset that we were “disrespecting
mothers” by not having the grill going. I just think she's looking
for an excuse to get offended.They aren't even cooked in the store I'm pretty sure that they just warm them up in the back.
This might a kind
of an N=1 experiment. Last week when I was on vacation I didn't drink
as many energy drinks while I was on vacation than I would in a
normal week. I did start having headaches, but my feet stopped
hurting. I thought that the feet stopped hurting because I wasn't
walking around at pretty close to double my “ideal weight” but as
I was at work I fell to the temptation of a Sugar Free Red Bull. I
thought it'd be fine because it was sugar free. But within a few
minutes of chugging the energy drinks my feet started feeling like
they were starting to light on fire and over the day the pain spread
up to my knees. I'm going to try to avoid energy drinks for a while
to see if that's the cause of my continuing feet and knee pain.
And then of course I had Fried Chicken and potato chips for lunch. The guy in charge of the online pickup department went to lunch and there wasn't anybody that could watch his department while he was out. So he Bribed me $5 to take any orders out if anybody came in for their orders while he was on lunch. He had to go to lunch at 1pm and there were two orders scheduled to come in during the 1 o'clock hour and there was still an order waiting to pickup from noon. The strange thing was the noon order was an Instant Cart order (not sponsored) and they still hadn't picked up by the time he got back from lunch at 2pm. Instant Cart is a third party company that shops for people's groceries in our store and they deliver the groceries, sometimes they have the online pick up do the shopping for them and they come to deliver the order. And they had placed that order for noon and by 2 they still hadn't came and collected the order. If I was that customer I'd be getting rather upset.
I took the opportunity to call Mom and Grandma at lunch to tell them Happy Mother's Day. I live in a blessed family.
