Whoa, Nelly!

I think I'm going to end up resorting to once a week posts on here if I keep losing my breath. So much is going on and I'm simply trying to take it day by day. People expect me to know things and I just don't remember them lol.

Today was a busy day. Well, really it's been this week so far. I've been having trouble sleeping lately. I'm hoping it will work itself out soon though. I went out to the thrift store last night after Ally went to bed(so I wouldn't miss night night hugs and kisses). A friend met up with me later and we talked for a while. He told me some things he felt like a good woman should expect from other people. Pretty much don't take crap from anybody, if you give someone a chance and they continue to disappoint then get rid of them or don't give them anymore chances, and don't throw yourself under the bus for someone else. I tried to at work even though I shouldn't have. I'm a nice person and I wanted to take responsibility for my actions even though the job is a group effort. It's not just "my job", it's "our job" as department associates to work together to get it done right. I did my best with the time I had(even some extra without getting in trouble for working too many hours without taking a lunch). Now I know possible actions if the problem ever arises again.

Ugh, today! I went in at 10 and man, it seemed to be going by so slow! The mid-shift nearly always seems like that though in the beginning. It started to pick up after my first break since it was lunch time then. I ended up being by myself for 30-40 minutes. I actually had a guy get annoyed and leave. I only have two hands and I have to be fair about who was there first. I hated it, but it was what it was. I was doing my job the best I could while I was alone. I was going to go to lunch at 2 when the next person started their shift, but again things got busy so I stuck around til the last minute and took my lunch at 2:50.

I had been walking around all quiet and stuff, so as soon as I got in my car I turned my music up and grooved it on my way home for lunch lol. That lunch hour seems so much shorter when you have to make a drive home. At least for me anyway bc I'm not 5 minutes from home like some people. Double that or a little more depending on how high the level of traffic is. I did okay for breakfast, having two sausage egg and cheese burritos, but lunch was a disaster. Didn't feel like ANYTHING. I had a strawberry banana yogurt and a bowl of ice cream with Hershey's syrup on top lol. So healthy. I had to write out our water bill when I got here bc it's due in a few days. D is going to have to start taking notice of when these things are due or it's going to go downhill fast when I'm not taking care of it anymore. It seemed like I only had about 30 minutes to sit and eat before I had to head out again. I was enjoying the drive and singing/rocking out to the radio. Yes, dork! :p I had scare on my way back into work though. I admit I was following too close to the truck in front of me, maybe like half a car's length at 55 mph when I noticed them veer into the other lane with an SUV coming from the other direction. I thought for sure I was about to be involved in a 3 car accident. I gasped and all like I was watching an accident happen right before me. I honestly thought it was going too. That's how close it was to happening. Maybe a split second and the driver realized they were on the wrong side of the road and swerved back over. Goodness. Scare of the day.

I was happy when I got back to work. I took a late lunch and an hour got taken off my shift for staying late yesterday(we were short handed because of the schedule being weirdly done), so I got to remove an hour from my next two days shifts. Yeeeeah! Love it since it is the hardest shift for me, 9 am to 6 pm. It seems to go by slow for me. Anyway, I found upon my re-arrival that when I left my coworker to work all by herself, I had forgotten to turn the sink off(it was thawing some nugget sauce) and it overflowed before she could get to it so there was a mess. I worked on that and grabbed the fan from where we typically have it plugged up and moved it forward a few outlets to help dry up what the aprons didn't get up. Shortly after that, the lights started flickering around us. I looked out and noticed it was ONLY the deli lights doing it. I yelled at my coworker to turn the fan off because we had never used that outlet and I worried that it might be the issue. By the time she got to it, the power had gone out so the fan was off. A lot of other things were off too...two fryers, all meat slicers, the lights and fans in our cold cases and deli wall, meat/dairy bunkers. I had never seen anything like it. Managers were out and about, then they instructed us not to open our cases at all, and started rallying help to cover up all the cold stuff to help preserve it. Weird thing to see, but it doesn't happen a lot so no surprise that me nor my coworker hadn't seen anything like that. We even had a 50 piece fried chicken that needed to be cooked but couldn't get done due to that outage. That poor woman, I felt so bad for her. Fifty pieces of chicken, you know she had something planned to need all that. She showed some obvious upset then of course had to leave to figure something else out. I hope she was able to. I felt really bad about that.

So yeah, a fun filled day in the life of a deli girl...lol. So many things are going on right now that I can't tell heads from tails of much. Day by day and I mean that. I literally check the days off on my schedule just so I know where I am in the month and what I'm working the next day or so. I'm taking my Lithium once a day now. The twice a day seemed to be bloating me like crazy(not sure if I mentioned that before) and it's a lot better now. I do believe I've lost a few pounds since dropping the dosage too, so it's obvious what it was.

And go AT&T, way to SUCK. Using a technicality to not replace my LG Xenon that freezes up after I send a text message. Grr. Truly makes me want to switch. D is waiting to speak with someone else about it. They say that once you receive a different model phone then you can't get a different model replacement after that. Okay, fine. The original color of my phone was red, but when I got it replaced they were out of stock so they sent me a blue one. This lady was saying that due to that, they could not send me a different make and model phone because TECHNICALLY I had already received another one(the BLUE one). Ugh. Time for me to go. Need some more to eat. Those chicken fries weren't enough! Til the next time...
