I forgot to name the last entry that I posted. I usually like doing that, especially with using two songs as the name.
My post yesterday left a lot to be desired of my update. I don't have much time right now, so I will give another tidbit about my life: I am easily tempered. This past week in work, my aisle was devastated, and I didn't have much time to fix it. On Monday, we recevied three different shipments at once, which meant that I had almost seven or eight carts of stock to put out on Tuesday after school. However, this guy named Josh who works in Hardware was supposed to help me when he was finished his stocking, and he did... for the most part. I like Josh. He's a really nice guy and he's not psychotic, but I found that he wasn't really helping that much. He hardly put out much stock, and he hardly helped me clean up. And whenever he took his third break (which he's not supposed to take by the way), he disappeared back to his aisle without telling me, even though I had a lot more work to do in my aisle.
I understand the need to feel attached to your aisle. If you find a hole in your stock, you're gonna feel compelled to fix it, which is what he went to do yesterday. But JUST TELL ME. Don't leave me with a full cart of chocolate bars to put out in less than half an hour. The amount of chocolate bars I pulled for him to put out while I had to do cash would've gotten out by the time our shifts ended at 3. Yet, after 2:30, I got back into the aisle to find out that nothing had been touched. I had to avoid most of the chocolate bars in favour of the chocolate bars that were really low in the baskets, which left me a little disatisfied.
Maybe I am being a little overdramatic. Although, I am writing this a day after the fact without any previous thoughts on it and I can still recall how angry and frustrated I was when I left work yesterday. I know that he is still new to our work and he still has a lot to go through in his training process. I wasn't fully trained until after the Christmas season of last year, and that was at least four months of work before I had a lot of confidence in how to stock. He has only been working for about two, three months. But I would appreciate not being left in the lurch without a warning.
Yesterday, I bought a small bottle of Almay's Relax: Calming body mist that we just got. It sort of helped to calm down. Possibly, why I am a little calm right now is due to that. And that is my post for today.
