Well, that was a disaster... lol, I had today's open at work, and it was a disaster even before the day had begun. :P

I was on an 8-4 on Saturday and forgot to take a key home with me for the morning, but never mind, I thought; I'd just pop in later to pick one up.
But I fell asleep instead, and woke up to see a missed call on my phone from Anna (Saturday's closing manager) and in my half-asleepness I thought "WTF?" and ignored it :P
Then I had to go pick my sister up from Bewdley and my parents up from Kidder at about midnight. Mr Bradbury and his mates decided to try and race me along the Worcester Road but I was havingnone of it, lol.
But anyways, I get home and think Ah crap! So I phone work, but they had already left. I phoned Anna, no answer... So I start systematically phoning all the other managers in a state of extreme shitting-myself! :O
Only Nicky answered though, and she was just going to bed and didn't have a key anyways, but eventually Sam got back to me and told Anna to call me. So I had to go on a mission!!!
I drove to Yates' in Kidder and met Anna, who gave me her house key so I could go in her house and get the key to work. I wasn't sure how to get to her house, but eventually I managed to remember how to get to that part of town (I haven't been to that part of town since my driving lessons about 2 years ago, lol), but could I find her damn street? NO! lol, I was driving up and down for about half an hour. If I had of remembered my glasses I would have been fine. heh.
After a couple of panicky phonecalls I got there in the end.

So eventually at about 3am I manage to get to sleep... bear in mind I had to get up at 5am, lol.

BUT! That wasn't the end, oh no!
We get in and one of my openers hasn't turned up, but we were okay. There was a note in the diary saying we needed scrambled egg mix from the other store in town, but I didn't have anyone who had a car until 9am, so my other option was to go myself when another manager was on at 8am. But then she phoned in sick... OMG!
Then my opener that hadn't turned up phoned in saying he couldn't come in because he had a toothache, LMAO. Boy, we all had fun laughing about that one all day. hehe!
But yeah, then Drive Thru window 3 was jammed shut, and we had to force it open. And Josh never turned up, which we were expecting cos his alarm clock broke. Luckily Duane turned up early so I asked him if he could go get Josh cos he only lives about 10 mins away from the store, so he did that while we all rushed to set up everything so we didn't get pwned later by customers.

We managed in the end, Karla got my egg mix from the town store and we were alright after that. Got a bit busy about 9.30 but we didn't have any major difficulties.

Then later I did the ordering for Wednesday's delivery just before I went home. First time I done the ordering myself, so I could still have done it wrong! But I think it'll be fine.

Phew! That's the biggest blog I done for a while.
Fell asleep about 4pm, after some dinner, and been online since about 6 or something. Mmhmm. That's about it now I think, lol.


Haha, just to top off the day I'm having trouble getting this entry to publish. Bloody typical! :P
Take care, ppl!
