jon_chaissonWHOOF. I knew it was going to be a busy day at work just like Thanksgiving Eve was, but it still managed to melt my brain. It was rather quiet until about 8:30am when everyone in the neighborhood started coming in...and it did not let up at all. Thankfully we had a mostly full team by 10:30 so I wasn't completely laid out by the time I clocked out. And everyone seemed to be in a reasonably good mood, so I can't complain. To be honest I think I'm more tired because I kept waking up last night due to my right ear being blocked up.
Meanwhile, Friday and Saturday mornings will be my usual opening shifts, although I'll probably need to go in earlier than usual on Friday considering all the registers and self-checkouts will be closed down and empty. I'm hoping they'll behave this time so the numbers won't be all wonky like last time, though. It all balanced out after a day or so, but I'd rather not go through that nonsense again!
Alas, I will be working both New Years' Eve and Day, but I'm hoping they'll be laid back like last year. It's all at the end of the week as well, so I can spend Sunday through Tuesday chilling, making my end of year mixtape and doing other stuff. Not sure if I'll be back to more hours soon, but we shall see.
