(no subject)
Last night was such a good time. I am so fucking tired. My stomach feels a bit edgy, but I didn't even drink that much so I don't know what's up with that. Haven't wanted to eat anything all day.
Work was just one thing after another today, what with absolutely NO sleep last night and feeling sick and other things just kept piling up. I'm sure I lost some of my golden points, but that's just the way it goes. First I realized I didn't have any access to the safe, so I couldn't put the cash in the tills or make the bank deposit. I had to go in half an hour early so I could call all the other managers and try to get someone to come down and give me their safe key. Brian was the only one who even answered his phone, and he lives the farthest away, so I gave him ten bucks for gas money, because he had to come back and work tonight. I felt awful about it. Then I was trying to teach the new manager trainee how to do all the morning paperwork, which she just can't remember how to do. This is the third time I've taught it to her and she's written it down each time (I don't know what she does with the notes. She starts over every time.). It's like as soon as I teach her something she forgets it completely. When I ask her to try and remember what I told her to do last time, she gets this look on her face like she has no recollection of this ever happening in her life.
What? I don't understand.
I've always hated training people because it always takes most people so long to get it. It's frustrating to me because I have almost perfect procedural memory - you show me something once and I remember how to do it. Don't have to write it down or anything. So I guess I just don't get how I can show something to someone four times, and they still don't remember how to do any part of it.
But whatever. Enough ranting about work. It never makes me feel good to rant about work, which sometimes feels like all I do.
But last night was amazing. Two of my best friends - Kayci and Gryphon - met for the first time, and even though I'd known they would click, it was amazing to watch. It made me feel so good, because now I don't have to hang out with one or the other, I can hang out with both. And there was no awkwardness - at least not that I could tell. It was fantastic. It's been a long time since I've just hung out like that, drinking and smoking (not pot, shuddup), and listening to Elvis Costello. And other crappy nineties music. Oh yeah, and Hootie and the Blowfish. *laugh* That was funny.
And ugh, I'm soooo tired. I'm going to bed now.
