Just need to get through today...

BLERG. So yesterday our store had a power failure. I found out once I got home that it had affected an odd stretch of the western portions of the city, basically hugging the shoreline. We only lost power for about an hour, but it caused a few things to snowball. One, it had also closed down the Safeway at the beach, sending many of its customers up our way for the rest of the evening. Two, it caused the computer software that let our work PCs talk to each other and to corporate went down, and the IT that got sent out looked at the PC said 'hey, you have power, sweet!" and left without fixing anything. Three, even though the power came back online, some of our coolers didn't, so we had to make sure it was covered before it all went off.

Yeah, that was my Tuesday. And I have another 11:30 - 8 shift today to deal with. Thankfully I'm only a register jockey this time instead of front end manager, and I'm hoping that all the power and system issues we had yesterday have already been fixed. and I am VERY thankful that I have tomorrow off, in which the only thing I have on tap is some grocery shopping.
