work is hectic

I hate mornings. I am so slow to do anything in the morning.

I have worked every day this week. Today was the first day I actually got a break. I have had to be there by 8:30 and have stayed til about 3 most days. I will have to stay til 5 tomorrow, then we (the boys mostly) will play zombies at boyfriend's. I will probably fall asleep on the couch or go take over his bed.... Hmmmmm.....

That's what happened last Saturday.

I have also decided I really Don't Like UTA. They are obnoxious! They keep temporarily discontinuing stops I need. They changed the times on me the other day and didn't even change the schedule online til a few days later. 2 days in a row I waited at the stop for about 45 minutes for a bus that is supposed to come every 15. I had to call for a ride so I wouldn't be an hour or more late for work. One of the temporarily discontinued stops say that the 35max bus will not stop there, but to either walk to the mall or to catch the 35 bus. Now doesn't that sound like the 35 will stop there but the 35max will not?? The stupid driver gave me a lecture how he's not supposed to stop there and blah blah blah... So why did he if he can't???? Idiot!

I would have to walk up past redwood road for the next bus stop, which is the opposite direction. There is a stop before redwood, but there is construction everywhere on 3500 south by Decker Lake Dr. that the sidewalks are all torn up and blocked off and you can't walk there. How am i supposed to get to a bus stop if I can't use the sidewalk?

My PF has been acting up because I have been walking so much and mostly because I have been running around all over the place at work. My knees kept popping the other day. :(

I was getting very angry the other day when we had a huge group of kids come in. I had to repeat myself 150 times (not an exaggeration), I felt like I was going hoarse, I didn't feel very good (knees/legs & stomach), and I had no energy.

The last few days I took an energy drink with me. Today was very slow so I didn't drink one. By the time I got off work I had a huge headache from the caffeine withdraws. :(

It also figures that today was pretty slow and easy & we had extra help. The last few days were super busy and crazy and the girl that was supposed to come help us kept flaking. One day she forgot, the next she couldn't get a baby sitter, the next she had taken work off from her department so she thought she didn't have to come help us (and not tell us). Another day her dad was in the hospital. Today & yesterday we had a different girl help us. The only problem we had with her was that she decided to go on break today and not tell us. She told one of the other employees who said it was "ok" but she didn't.... She really needed to tell one of us managers. Gah! At least it wasn't too busy, right? I don't know how the party department does their thing, but we don't do it that way obviously.

We also have parties next week.... blargh! It will be just as crazy.

I will be happy when these groups are done. And I don't have to be there for 8 hours with no break because it's way too busy to lose anyone's help.

At least all the school parties will be over soon. Wonder why they're having so many this year?
