Owww, I hurt so much. Tonight we got very very long night. Huge truck worth of shipment that we had to get sorted and rolled out onto the floor. My third day of being a manager, second day of being in charge on my own, went not great.
First, I messed up one cashier's deposit. I totally forgot to enter her cash when putting her paperwork into the computer. Had to contact IT and get fussed at by them for all the extra work this puts them through with trying to fix our deposit. Then, though they weren't supposed to do anything until morning, they went ahead and did it anyway, making my end of night deposit appear to be over by almost $250. Major fixing to do on that. But, I left it for the GM tomorrow. Then, I hit a wrong button and accidentally shut down the server for our register network, during the middle of a huge rush. I wanted to cry. Called the GM at home in a major panic to see how to fix it, but felt stupid when told that there was a reset button. *eyeroll*
Didn't manage to finish sorting shipment until 11:30pm. Apparently, no one told GM that I'd never run a shipment shift before and had no clue how anything was supposed to be sorted and stacked. Luckily, Aaron was there, and he knew how it was done, so he helped a LOT.
I nearly collapsed at one point because I was much much too busy to stop for lunch. So I grabbed a cup of coffee, that's the good columbian![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
obsessedmuch, and went right back to work. Idiot that I am, I'd taken my diet pill anyway and my blood sugar dropped so low that I actually fell because I was feeling so weak. Not hurt though, just feel like an idiot. Must remember to pick up some more snack crackers when I get paid. After renewing my LJ, purchasing user pics, paying the car insurance, paying my mother, gassing up my car, donating to my writercon fund, and praying that I have somewhere to stay at writercon (since I haven't heard from my planned room mate in 40 forevers), I should have just enough for about 3 packs of those crackers. Gonna have to spread those out.
There's a lot more I'd like to say here, but I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open, and I'm still weak from not eating. Hopefully, my tea will calm my brain enough for me to get some sleep.
See you guys later.
