Good morning, everyone!!!
Yep, you read that right, it may be Friday but it isn't my Friday. My Friday will actually be Tuesday this week. However, I will surely hear a LOT of TGIFs today at work :)
Tomorrow will start my two days of early early EARLY shifts. Be there at 4 a.m. leave by 10 a.m. then a busy day after that.
Bug is playing football this year. Definitely a sport this grandma knows nothing about. Sure, I've been to football games and such, but I'm not a huge fan of spectator sports. However, I do support the grandchildren in whatever makes them happy.
The first day he went to football camp for the first time, I looked at my daughter and said, "This is his sport." From the moment this child stepped onto the field, it was like it came naturally to him. He amazed his football camp coaches with his abilities. He brought a smile to my face watching him in his element.
Last Saturday was his first game. Oh my goodness, it was so thrilling to watch one of his coaches recognize what I saw. The man could hardly stay on the sidelines for jumping up and down watching our little man play. The excitement in that man's body was so evident as he watched our little guy tackle like a pro :)
My daughter called me after practice yesterday and told me the main coach now sees what the other coach sees. I told her, see, I told you this was his forte.
As for the sport of football. Well, I know I'm from Indiana and should like it, but I'm still not a fan. However, I am a fan of that little defensive tackle :) He's amazing on the field. He's in his element and even if this grandma doesn't know a damn thing about the game, I will sure as hell be there cheering him on.
My daughter told me I needed to start watching football. I laughed and said, nope, what I need to learn about the game Bug will teach me :) All I need to know about it is that he loves it and he's good at it :)
In other news...
Hubby will be home Monday or Tuesday this week. Then we have two days off together :) Of course, like any other time hubby is home we have a whole mess of things to be done. An appointment on Wednesday another appointment on Thursday and hopefully some fun thrown in there during those days as well. We've already decided to hit up a couple of stores while we're in Kokomo on Thursday :) Then possibly a trip to the orchard on our way home. We'll see :)
This new scheduling at work has the boss and I so confused. She thought she was going to be way into overtime this week, then we remembered the pay week ended yesterday so she won't actually be into overtime. Yeah, crazy when they change things up on us.
A few weeks ago they announced we would be changing paydays from Fridays to Wednesdays. So this week we received a four day paycheck. Not too bad, but we had not been given enough notice to really prepare ourselves for that kind of hit. I keep telling myself next Wednesday is not all that far off thankfully :) But I didn't do too bad grocery shopping yesterday thankfully. It just seemed odd doing the shopping on a different day.
The boss and I feel a bit overwhelmed with so much coming up in such a close proximity of one another. We have our big weekend, which that one is just making sure we have enough product to last us throughout the insanity. Which that alone is NOT a big deal, but then throw in an audit that has been changed up to where we have to have everything in the store separated by not only brand but each product has to be separated into their own little sections, and that brings on the pressure.
All of this of course must be ready to go by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday morning following our insane weekend. So, we will be in there separating products throughout the night to ensure everything will be ready when they get there.
Most of it isn't an issue, we keep a LOT of this already separated and organized. However, with the up and coming weekend next week, we have triple the amount of 20 ounce pops. Pray we sell almost all of them. So getting our cooler and back stock ready for this audit is what I am dreading most. It will get done, there are a few of us way too OCD about this area of our store not to have it ready, but man, just thinking about it 'having' to be a certain way, really exhausts us mentally.
I planned to be out of there at 2 yesterday. However, we had issues with our safe so I ended up waiting on the safe man with a window of 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. At 3:30 I told the girls, I'm going home call me when he gets here. Of course, that's when he walked in. So I ended up being there until after 4:30. Then it was off to find black jeans (because starting Monday we can wear black jeans as part of our uniforms). That's not an easy task let me tell you. I only have one brand of jeans that I like the way they fit and of course in that brand I can't find black. I was almost on a first name basis with the lady at the fitting room by the time I was done yesterday LOL.
Hence one more reason hubby and I will be doing a bit of shopping on Thursday when we're in Kokomo. I'm still holding out hope that my brand will miraculously have a pair of black jeans somewhere in my size :)
Today is truck day, which will be another HUGE one because we are still preparing for our big weekend. One more HUGE order to go before the big event which will arrive on Tuesday. We put in our cigarette order to come in today. That's my department each week, so I'm already overwhelmed with boxes and boxes and I haven't even gotten them yet LOL. But I can already envision them as they pile up in my register area later this morning.
There is nothing worse than having an angry crowd if you don't have what they are looking for.
Well I guess I better get off of here and write down the order for Red Bull that our third shift girl sent me via IM this week. He comes this morning as well and like I said, we definitely need to have product available for our customers :)
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
