So i decided to re-start using this thing. We'll see how well that works. Then again, the only reason i re-discovered LJ was cause i can't sleep and i dont work tomorrow so i was endlessly trolling the internet. Needless to say i wont have a lot of nights to post at 4AM.
I'm pretty sure this will turn into a blog about working at Target because that's 90% of my time. Without further adieu..
Today was gay. John (from work) quit yesterday so we're left to scramble to fill his shifts for the next two weeks. so i opened as usual (if you haven't heard, i work at the "Food Avenue" aka Pizza Hut express + popcorn, pretzels, hot dogs, and shit @ Target on rochester and auborn) and was already behind because Andy left 32 pizzas in the fridge from last night which means i have to do 64 more dishes before i can start anything else. I was only going to be alone till 11 like usual, so i didn't really sweat getting behind. Then i heard that Patty wasn't coming in till noon so she could basically be the closer in place of john. that presents 2 problems: (1) i have to face the first half of the lunch rush by myself (2) if patty is the closer, i have to do all the opening prep + all the mid prep. The mid-prep includes panning frozen pizza and breadstick dough for the following day. unfortunately, panning can't start till after 3pm because the dough will thaw too early and not be usable the next day. The problem was i was supposed to only work 7:30-3:00 so there was noway i could have done that. Normally i would have got all the easy mid-prep done and left at 3 leaving all the panning to the closer, but Patty is a sweet 57 year old lady who just started 2 weeks ago and theres literally no way to get panning done while watching the register. so basically i stayed an extra hour to get her panning done. Somehow it felt like too much work for $7.50 (6.39 after taxes) but i felt really good about not bailing on patty like everybody else does around Target. The funny thing was that the Target Operator called around 3:45 to ask me if i wanted to pick up any of johns shifts this week, and i could barely here her cause i was still in the kitchen in the same building. lolz.
After work i hung out with michelle for a while until i basically fell asleep and she left for dinner. i got subway and saw my dad for the first time in a few days later on. Then i went to michelle's and ended up talking to Mrs. Gleba till like midnight.
I wonder how long it will take before people start reading this again.
