Nnnnhhh...
Wow, I think this is the first time I can really say a night -sucked-. Ugh. Well, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't as pleasant as they typically are. Sadly, phin is sickly right now -- snuffly nose, coughing up mucus - basic symptoms of a respiratory infection (hey, didn't I have one of those a month ago? Ugh, I did.). But it's okay - cranked up my vitamin C and Zinc intake - I seem to be a little better, although the cough has intensified a little. ;(_);
Anyways, tonight wasn't -horrible-. But I got in to a rather...angry customer, being rather...volatile, but not quite violent, towards one of my coworkers over something (seemed to be a denied alcohol sale due to damaged ID / complaint with her customer service.) I was ready to back her up, but he stormed off -- this was just the start of the day. The coworker who was to work with me from 2-9 had called in sick, but not for the day -- she was coming in at 4, but my other coworker was leaving at 3. It was buuuusy between 3-4, and I couldn't step out from behind the register for even a second. Had an ugly little line for a while.
But all was okay -- customers were patient and understanding, and this pleased me greatly. My other coworker arrived on time at 4 (we're both rather ill), but we managed to tend to all the customers' needs, at least, for a good while. Unfortunately, the list of things left for us by the coworker who left at 3...well, that didn't get done, so much. Between my spaciness slowing me down, because I refuse to be inaccurate, especially when I'm handling someone else's money (Customer OR company), and the fact that I couldn't just disappear on my coworker for long, because she was having trouble too, we just couldn't get it all done ;(_); Ah well. Sad, but we at least made the customers happy.
Then 8 came, and my coworker left, and I was all alone again. I managed to restock the beer cooler to some extent, rotating cold stock to the front, warm to the back, but I couldn't actually walk -into- the cooler ;(_); It's all good though. I lived through 2 hours of solo-time, and then the graveyard guy (who rocks...he's really cool) showed up 5 minutes early and helped me get my line down. After that, we counted out the two tills, and then I managed to do (a little) restock in the cooler. Out of so much... -(_)- Ah well.
Then I got home, thanks to a ride from one of my roommates, and have flopped in my chair. Where I think I will stay for a while. Maybe I'll game a little. Or maybe I'll chat with friends. I dunno yet. But I'm ~tiiiired~ -- just can't crash yet, that much I know. Ah well, I'm off tomorrow.
