so, like it's saturday nite i'm finally home work it was one heck of a day, especially this afternoon so these past couple weekends my boss has me in @ 10or11am working til 7 or 8pm so i work with the mornin person and the afternoon person well for the second weekend in a row and second day in a row, the afternoon person doesn't show up my boss strolls in about 2 this afternoon i'm like wondering why the hell is he here well again the afternoon person called in so while he's busy elsewhere i'm holdin down the fort, but occasionally he does come help with the long lines well there was another manager in the store purchasing things and offered us one of his employees for the rest of the shift she came over really quickly kewl i'm thinking some relief well i soon learned that although she's been working for our company for 3weeks, she doesn't know how to use the register nor the powerball machine O God, chapter 13 it was not a good scene for the customers and for some reason we were unusually busy today normally our saturdays are slow, but not today they came out of the woodworks she seriously fumbled often with even one or two customers walking out on her in the middle of a transaction and i was taking care of 6 customers to her 1 and i didn't know that the boss was still around he had gone back in his office and closed the door i couldn't leave her alone behind the counter she was still strugglin' hours later when i got off the shift after awhile after stressin it out for hours, i started to crack up laughing what else was i to do i'm still laughin one regular customer came in and i punched in a birthday for her before she gave me her id she's in her 60s or 70s anyways, as she was givin me her id, she was tellin me her birthdate i told her i punched her in younger, but i could do it all over if she wanted we both started crackin up laughin i was rollin into tears by that time tears of laughter that was the second best thing of the day the best was an ol' friend of mine i haven't seen in like many years came into the store she was my realtor when i lived up in the mountains over 7yrs ago i haven't seen her since it was great to chat for a moment and get her number she's moved back into town right now and divorcing her husband that's all i got in 5mins with her while waiting on her so we'll have to go to coffee soon she looks great happy she's still around (and i mean that literally) anyways, now i sit chillin debating on my choice of drink for the night my usual is milk, but i may have to have that alcohol tonite this afternoon was really really really hectic, but i have a smile on my face:-)!
p.s. God bless that woman that came to help me today she did her best!

Sometimes when you don't know what to do and you are ready to pull your hair out or somebody elses hair...........it's just best to laugh. You had a great attitude. That poor girl. I think I would have walked out. More power to you! Anne
