Morning all. We’ve been given a dusting of snow through the night. Yay snow. I think both kittens were being, well, kittens this morning. I first woke up around 5, with Podrick trying to play with the cables to my alarm clock. Only a couple of times, before I chased him out of the room. Probably minutes later, I just had to pee.

So up again. This time I’m more awake. I think I managed to fall back into a light sleep. But I could hear banging. It was Pippin rubbing on the bricks. Not really loud banging, but just enough to make a sound over my fan, and give me slight anxiety. I found my other sleep mask and turned on another sleepy time talk down. While the voice was annoying, I think it worked. as anxious as I was I think I fell into a really night sleep. I managed to sleep until around 7:30.

Work was pretty slow last night. We went from around 5:30 til about 8, without having a many customers. We cleaned and got a few things done. Finally, it was time to pack it in for the night. My coworker likes to get everything buttoned up before we’ve closed. Of course, if someone comes in, he has to redo some of the paperwork. That’s what happened last night. With 3 minutes to go, someone came in, and paid with cash. That meant that he had to redo the cash paperwork, and the deposit.

As he was redoing the deposit paperwork, and bitching about how the last customer just had to pay with cash, I looked at him and said, “you know you’re doing this to yourself, right?” He thought his luck could continue like it has for the last couple of weeks. I told him I used to do the same thing (counting the cash, and getting the deposit ready before we closed.) But it wasn’t worth the stress, and the extra time if someone came in. So I do it like the other coworker now, and closings, for me, have been so much better.

Back to work this afternoon. There’s three of us in tonight, because of trucks. BossLady has seen the schedules via the works group chat. She doesn’t like them, but the guy that’s making the schedules while she’s on time off, countered with, “it one, maybe two shifts a week, and it really helps when there’s multiple trucks in the evening”. One person can concentrate on the truck, while the other two run the store.

I’ve rambled on far too long with only a couple sips of coffee. Happy Tuesday. Let’s kick today in the ball sack.
