Yesterday the moment I got to work Julie and Zhaun ambushed me. We've known for a week that corporate was coming to help promote the new rewards card. But yesterday they learned that this meant a key retailing walk as well. As if anyone couldn't have predicted that. They were suddenly freaking out and telling me to do this and do that and come in at 4 tomorrow. I just looked at them like they were insane and went, "At 4???" They knew I worked till 7 last night. We compromised and agreed I'd come in at 5. On days when I work till 7 I usually can't get to sleep until after 9:00. If I was getting up at 3:30 to go in at 4 that would mean 6 1/2 hours at best, assuming I slept the entire time and didn't have any trouble falling back to sleep when I woke up. Even 5:00 was hard but I did it.
Yesterday was weird and I didn't do hardly anything, or so it feels. I took down all the shelf strippings (the things the tags hang in) for the milk and took them to bakery to wash in their sink.
I also filled the store brand yogurt. And that's about it for what I got done yesterday other than breaking down the milk load. I also checked a lot.
They put a lock on the compactor. Oh, that'll work real nice. Everyone's going to start leaving their garbage because they can't get in to throw it away.
Today I was swamped and it was crazy. I was pulled in so many different directions. It started before I even got in the front door. Frito Lay wanted to bring in some chips and was telling me a truck was out back. ugh, I said he'd have to wait but whenever Frito was ready I'd receive him. So I went in to start washing my floor. I bounced around, did floor stuff, faced, floor, face, Zhaun told me grocery's out back I said he'd have to wait, I received Frito and Coke, finished facing and filling various holes, Bret was there and was running around making hoots and hollers which was odd but better than him screaming at us, filled eggs, faced, filled milk I was out of and hiding in the back for today, did grocery truck, did shelf reviews, in the middle of shelf reviews I stopped to let Coke take back one of the pallets they'd delivered cause it had gone to to the wrong store, found out corp was there and had been there a while, Zhaun showed me how to do crew sheets, filled yogurt, while filling yogurt I had to stop to get four pallets of stuff loaded for this guy and they were all the way around on the far side of the back of the store, finished yogurt, dairy/frozen showed up, I started offloading it till Dustin got in and then I made him do it (he gave me a look that said, "*sigh* omg I can not believe you want me to do it you've had all morning to do your orders and stuff you should be bored for not having anything to do how do you even keep your job you don't do anything and leave it all for me to do"), did my order, filled the milk, while filling the milk they called me to check and about 20 minutes later it was after 1:00 and time for me to go home, I finished filling milk, did the milk orders, did the egg orders for the next few days, did the juice order for Friday, filled eggs, did the markdowns, and finally around 2:15 I was able to go home.
Oh, and I skipped breakfast this morning and had a banana in the car on the way to work.
Also, I pulled something in my right leg and my thigh's swollen and achy.
