Man last weekend was terrible.... And not just because I had to work.... Which always sounds great, right up till the weekend hits, Then I remember just how much I'd rather sleep in. Though, that's been part of the problem.... I haven't been able to sleep the last couple weeks.... I've been late a couple times, cause I overslept..... But no matter when I finally went to sleep I wake at 5,The latest I can leave for work and hope to make it on time.
So I wake up late... and get to work late. not much, but still it sucks.....
Thinking everything is ok I started doing my inventory counts….. All of a sudden a horde of people came to my window. I was apparently alone in my cage, so I commenced to helping them…. It turns out, by the time I was done, I only then realized I had not taken my scanner gun off count mode…. So every item I thought I checked out to people, I instead just changed the count to however many they asked for. By the time I realized that, I had to go back, look up a hundred god damn item numbers, figure out how many we had before I changed it to 1 or 2…. Then remember who checked them out in the first place, And reissue the items correctly. It wasn’t as fun as it sounds.
After that….. I needed a fucking break, and wanted to do something mindless. It turns out we have a guy working on second shift, in here on light duty. The guy’s a fucking idiot. He’s a mechanic, supposed to be. They don’t want him, as he’s pretty lazy and useless…. He was a steward, but the Union revoked it, see previous statement. And now lucky us…. somehow he’s here. He seems to like putting stock away. That would be awesome, if he didn’t fuck it off so bad. Putting things in the wrong locations, Not receiving them in…. Or leaving them in the isle ways, causing a safety hazard that we seem to get busted for. So I figured I’d go clean up the storage area. Nice simple….. Mindless.
Now this area is packed pretty tight, management in its infinite wisdom, did not give us enough room to store all our crap. I get there, And a pile of glove cases are knocked over…. It’s awkward, but I can reach them. So I start moving everything around…. When I go to pick up one case, it caught on something else, And something in my right elbow seemed to give way. I’m thinking it was my tendon like the left arm a couple years ago… but it felt far more odd, and nearly made me sick. This was Friday, today it no longer hurts terribly itself, though it is pretty achy…. But if I over use my arm, it gets pretty aggravated. This bothers me…. I’m alone you know, if I can’t use my arm… I’m going to be even more so….
That’s not even the worst of it…. On my way home I realized I forgot to put on lotion on my arm…. Not really a big deal, I’m just trying not to burn this year…. So I’ve been putting it on my arms while I drive, on bright sunny days. Not a problem, I have the tube on the passenger seat, figure what the hell, I can put some on my arm while I’m driving. So I grab the tube, it’s a bit awkward, my arm still hurt then. And went to squeeze some into my hand. None is coming out. I figure I didn’t close it well enough last time I used it, so maybe the head was clogged. I squeeze a bit harder, finally I get some in my hand, I go to put it on my arm when I see the truth of it…. I guess, because it was in my car all day it was like body temp. It wasn’t clogged, and I got a handful of sun tan lotion…. Probably enough for two… maybe three to use and cover myself completely. It was terrible. I did manage to get it on my arms…. But there was so much left over….. In the end I had no idea what else to do. I can say my right Pant leg will not now sun burn.
Well… I guess the weekend wasn’t bad…. Just the prelude.
