(no subject)
So I guess I'll ramble a little about my extremely boring, monotonous, crappy day...
I woke up around 11am, got dressed and went to Office Max and bought some wall mount file holders for my stores. I looked at non-electrical vacuums and shelf units also but decided that I wasn't willing to spend the money on them. My company is cheap. It takes a year to get a new stapler, so usually I end up buying supplies myself which is very very bad. But between shelling out money and listening to employees complaining about the lack of supplies --- I'll buy the crap myself. I also bought some printer stuff for me. Things like business card paper (company's too cheap to get us cards), magnetic paper and t-shirt transfer paper (in case I decide to make a Dharma logo t-shirt).
Then I went to Target and bought "March of The Penguins" on DVD, some shoes, Pond's makeup remover pads, tights and a down throw for the back seat of the car (last night I nearly died when I got to the car it was so cold). Mark called and asked if I could pick him up a hazelnut latte, so even though time was running short I went to Starbucks and got that and then went home.
Got ready for work in 20 minutes. Mark, who had done nothing, wasn't ready to go at 145pm... Had to wait for him...
Mark drove and deposited me at the front of the airport at 201pm. Went up to the office and did some photocopying and then went to two of my stores and set up the pretty wall mounts. For the next hour I counted down registers, stocked and cleaned. I went to dinner around 530pm with co-workers Emily, Tonya and Mercy. I ate a naked shredded beef burrito (which is a burrito that isn't wrapped in a tortilla but in a plate with the tortilla on the side) from Qdoba. Around 630 I wrote the order, stocked some more and counted people down.
I took calls all night from stupid/selfish employees. There was one who wants to have the perfect schedule after working with the company 1 month. I get so mad because I have gone out of my way to schedule her with the days off she wanted and the time she wanted and then she had the nerve to ask if she could be scheduled in the same store all the time because working in a different store every day is too hard. I kind of just sat there in stunned silence. If any other manager was doing the schedule, they'd be working random shifts. But this girl wants it all.
I left work at midnight and took the bus with Mercy to the parking lot. Unfortunately I couldn't find the car and it was freezing cold outside. I was wandering around the lot in the dark so I tried to call Mark (who had parked the car after dropping me at the door) but he was with a passenger so I called Mercy quickly and asked her if she could please drive me around the parking lot to look for my car. She did, but we couldn't find it so she offered to just drive me home. Later, Mark called and told me that he hadn't even parked in the lot but paid for garage parking because he had forgotten his I.D. badge at home. So I was looking for nothing for about half an hour.
Its 3am now. I'm typing this as Mark is watching TV. He keeps trying to talk to me about this show about skiing. I keep telling him I'm writing something but he keeps rewinding it to show me things that I really don't care about. I have to stop and watch. I really don't care about the show and feel slightly resentful because I've wanted to go skiing for the 11 years since we've been married but somehow winter always goes by before we ever go. He's ski-ed many times so I guess its not a big deal to go. I keep thinking I should just go myself but I'm not a big fan of doing things myself.
I've had this vague grumpy feeling for the past week or so. I don't know whats wrong with me lately. I feel like I'm not as patient as I normally am. Then I feel like everyone can see this about me and it embarasses me that I'm not this happy, calm, kind sweet person that they expect me to be. In reality, they probably haven't noticed a thing. Sometimes its a blessing that I surround myself with people obsessed with their own pursuits...
