Hearing very very windy outside...
Name my Roller Coaster....
This morning I was feeling pretty good, then the day took a nose dive in the afternoon, now I'm feeling pretty good again... Wonder what this roller coaster ride I am on is called, lol....
I made the schedule for next week at work this morning, think that was what was making me a bit grumpy... I wanted to get it done before supervisor left tomorrow for the other store... It's been a while and I did have to have her remind me how to do a few things on the computer...
Then I found out more about this operation spring cleaning we have going on at the store... Our VIP visit is June 3-5, so for next week I was told schedule everyone 40hrs.... This is where the day started to go downhill... My fault though cause I have a tendency to react before I get a chance to think things through... It's just very frustrating how we manage things on a shoe string, lol, no pun intended, you know shoe department, anyway, but then when the store needs something, anything goes... When I originally started making the schedule I had 210 hours to work with, after scheduling everyone to the max of their availability, I used 327 hours.... Of course then lets hope they all show up and actually work next week...
Part two where the day started to take a dive, afternoon person called out leaving an hour gap of no one in the department and the closer alone by themselve tonight... Plus I'm hoping the closer tomorrow shows up as she went home sick on Monday and has had days off since...
And then why is it always a holiday when we have these big plans/visits... Monday is Memorial Day which I am off but then I work all week til 3:30... Anyway it will be nice to have so much coverage but like I said only if they show up and work.... All shelves and fixtures have to be taken apart and dusted and everything stocked and sized, all displays in place, of course we are low on supply's right now for putting up displays... And not to mention that the supervisor will be at another store all next week helping them get ready.... So who's gonna make sure we are ready cause don't think we will be having the overnighters now... By time they get back there will only be a couple of days left to get the whole store ready....
Ok one day at a time.... Tomorrow I have price changes and Friday I have an ad to set and get as many boxes open this week that I can....
Well at least on the up note, this will all be done before my bday and vacation, so I should get my days off, however the supervisor had put in for the fifth off, but that might be a problem....
So I left work with a big headache... I only had one St. John's Wort today and three ibuprofen when I got home...
Picked up son3 from school and son2 from drum practice... Tomorrow is his performance... He is mad cause we are not going... Hubby got the day off... I told son2 we are supporting you and allowing you to go
And son3 goes on his bowling field trip tomorrow... and we can pick up the cookie dough we ordered...
So now the boys are starving, they don't seem to understand that I can not serve them raw food and that just because I am sitting on the computer does not mean I am not fixing dinner, lol... The veggies are done and the rice is done, just waiting on the chicken to be done....
I did not finish watching Bones last night, fell asleep, son2 too on the floor of my room... That is where hubby found him when he got home from work, lol...
So need to finish Bones. Tonight is the last night to tape shows til next Fall... Criminal Minds and CSI NY.... Unless something good comes on for the summer season...
Got to do homework with son3 and a load of laundry and dishes... Too windy for the pools, half of our trees are in the pools, so major cleaning there....
And get some bday cards in the mail before they are late...
And lots of journals to read later for some me relaxing time...
Happy Journaling...

I am going to write about BONES and CSI:NY so if you read my journal anytime and have not seen them, keep on going. I am TOTALLY pissed off at both shows and will stay upset.
sometimes i think we work at the same store...the big wigs always messing things up for everyone else just to look good and you never have enough to work with.

I know what you mean about work getting crazy. Seems everyone is acting strange these days on the job front so I am identifying with you about the work stuff... I wish we could both take a long long vacation and my husband too.... they tell husband yes you can have overtime and they swamp him with apartments and then they say no only 3.5 hours of overtime.... goodness sakes alive and yet they won't give him anyone decent to help with the workload and the other workers just standing around doing nothing while Rob is working like crazy. Enough to make ya wanna scream!! And I need a vacation but cannot take one because they make you feel like a moron if you ask for one little day off and being I am part time there is no vacation pay for it so I cannot do a day off ever until maybe one week a year. Sigh. But this is the price to pay for part time. I don't know why they are pushing us for donations that are not there right now. But we keep trying to get them anyhow. Usually we have fourteen or eighteen a day and some days we are doing good to get eight or nine right now. Sigh. Not good, not good at all. Okay, I am done venting over here in your journal right now LOL LOL I just thought it would make you feel good to hear me feeling this with you too LOL. LOL.
