Bleh.
Today started a bit unpleasantly at 8 am when I woke up due to the extreme pain and utter lack of blood flow in my right arm. I checked a clock, rolled over and went back to sleep. I was awakened again at ll due to the same problem recurring in my left arm. This did mean that I made myself some lunch, packed another bit of the carnitas and dressings up for my dinner at work and had some time to read Hidden Warrior before I headed in to work (on time!).
Of course... then there was work. I had to talk to Nikki about her botched special order, and the longer I think about it, the more I'm certain that the way we 'fixed' it wasn't right either. If she'd just done it right the first time, that would have been much better.
Anyway. Then I had to sort the store mail, and in between that and getting called to the cut table and registers for a variety of assinine issues (not any of the girls' fault... more just a lot of demanding guests who really shouldn't be out shopping if they don't even know what they want.)
By the time I finally got out to fabric I was a bit annoyed and had totally lost my train of thought for the section.... so I was most displeased to find:
-/tons/ of sale signs still missing (despite Nikki assuring me that they 'got all that done' last night)
-/tons/ of signs printed on feature signs, without using my templates (meaning I have to remake them all anyway)
-a few sections misplaced, over-filled, etc.
-a /huge/ chunk of fabric still in the back.
In rewalking my map, I also found out that i added an entire extra section to my map for the Special Occasion-Sportswear B-Fur/Fleece half of the set... and so have to rework everything anyway. Oh yes.
I got none of that done of course.
Also, we missed budget by a couple thousand dollars.
Also, we didn't cut nearly enough hours and were there until 10 just getting recovery done.
Also, every section of the store that I walk off is a /mess/ and looks like it is in serious need of some detailed recovery. And every time I see a section like that, I want to do 100% cycle recovery and exception counts on that section. Just to be sure. Because the last couple of months have made me a paranoid freak about counts and the fact that /no one/ actually knows what they're doing. Which I guess is my fault because I'm the freaking OTL and supposed to be in charge of training.
All I ask is that people /ask/ me if things don't make sense to them or they don't understand what they're doing... why is it so hard to do that??
Anyway. Despite it being a short day, I'm annoyed and pissed off and all I want to do is curl up and play something stupid and violent like Diablo. I should probably actually play some WiiSports to burn off excess energy or even MarioKart... But yeah. Anyway.

Be ready to be leaving town just after 1 pm tomorrow. Karaoke will be from 3-6-ish and then there will be dinner and revelry at xrqz2493's place.
Tomorrow before we head for Denver I think I need to take Damien in to Best Buy. The hinge on his screen is broken and we all know where that's heading. Well... I do, having had a computer with a broken screen hinge before. -.-
[Edit: Midnight: *flails* I commented on Okiayu-san's blog for yesterday. To tell him to enjoy his trip (he's in Kyuushu!) andto say 'otsukaresama' about 100-song marathon. Now I'm flaily and nervous for no good reason.]
