That was a big steak this morning. It was almost too big for my cast iron skillet. And left the heat up too high when I switched to cook the eggs so accidentally overcooked the eggs. I didn't get the chance to finish the pot of coffee this morning. But did have a bit more than yesterday. 

I was going to finally get around to editing one of the videos I had recorded, but when I tried to connect my phone to the computer the computer just didn't want to load the connection to the phone. And when I did get the phone to show up on the explorer the video only played the sound of the video but not the VIDEO of the video so I'm going to have to re-record that video. Which to be honest is probably for the best, that video came out as an unhinged rant than an actual story.  

I worked the regular 11am to 8 pm today, but I had looked at the schedule wrong when I was going in. I had wore my Supervisor Vest to the front end because I thought I was giving the self checkout cashier a lunch and was going to be supervisor for the rest of the day. But I was only giving the Self Checkout cashier for her lunch, then giving the Supervisor her lunch then I was carrying out for the next several hours.

Coming home for lunch I debated on calling the chili that mom gave me Keto as it has beans in it. But I'm sure it's fine the chili that I make and call “Basic Chili” has beans from time to time and I call that keto. I have a couple servings of the Goulash left, but I had forgotten to take it with me to work like I was thinking of doing because I didn't want another reaction from Roommate. When Mom gave me the jars of chili she didn't seem to like that recipe. It is a bit flat, but not too bad with some cheese and sour cream. It could use some corn chips to go with but those aren't very keto. When I came home for lunch I was going to set up a Taco Salad, but lost track of time once I sat down and didn't have time to brown the ground beef.

I was kind of all over the place today as after lunch I covered the service desk for an hour while he went to lunch. There was a challenge as a lot of people were getting lottery tickets, but they were shouting out the tickets they were wanting like they were auctioneers shouting out bids. And one guy had a huge stack of tickets that he wanted to check in, but the entire stack were “free play” tickets. And the way those tickets come out I have to ring up the winning of the amount of the free play and the cost of the free play. So for an example I would scan a ticket it would say, “Free Play” (-$1) and then print out a ticket bringing up the total back to zero. So to make sure I was ringing the tickets and winnings up I would go to my register and ring up the winnings and free tickets and back to the lottery printer to scan another ticket. The guy checking in his tickets told me that I was walking back and forth too much I could have just scanned all of his tickets and type in the amount of the winnings and then type in all of the free tickets. Well, the problem with that is that the total is always zero when it prints out a free play ticket. So I would have no idea how much to type in for the winnings and how much to type in for the free tickets. He told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. Fair enough that was the most free plays that I've ever seen in one go and I don't work at the desk very often. I did check the report after he left and I was glad to see that the report was balanced so I did ring him up correctly, just with more walking back and forth.

After running the desk for an hour I was back to being supervisor, but the people I had to work with were the kind of people that I had to constantly tell to do their jobs. I did feel sorry for a lady that the Customer Service guy told me that had called the store. He told me that she had did a cash withdraw, but when she went to Walmart to do some other money service over there one of the $100 bills that he gave her was fake and had Chinese figures stamped all over the back of it. She had called the store and he had promised her that he'd trade the fake bill back for a real bill. I told him that was a no-go on that. We cannot trade fake money for real money. But he had already told her over the phone that he'd trade the bad money and she was on her way back to the store. She didn't show up before I had to leave, but I told him and the security guard if she gets too heated call the police. And the security guard told me that he is called, "loss prevention" but there really isn't much he could do. I told him that if somebody is getting argumentative about fake money he would be able to call the police. 

As the Taco Salad wasn't set up this afternoon I only had Pork Steak left to cook. I asked Roommate if he wanted one, he declined his  I had thought of having the second one for breakfast tomorrow, but the other steak was kind of smaller and I was hungry this evening so I went ahead and had both of them.  I have plenty of bacon to go with the eggs in the morning. I decided to go ahead and make a grocery list to do the grocery shopping tomorrow.
