What day is it?

It’s Monday again, I think. I am not really sure anymore what day it is! I worked all weekend. I worked Friday night at WnW and the back again early Saturday morning. I wanted to get in early so I could get out early. I had to go home and take a shower before our fancy dinner.

We had our annual Friends dinner. A few years back, Brian’s group of friends decided that they should all hold a Christmas get together and treat themselves to something nice. Most of them did not have a Christmas party to attend for their own job, or they didn’t want to attend the one for their work, so what better way to celebrate the holidays then with friends! This year we went to the Peppertree Restaurant. It’s a pretty high end fancy (expensive) place. The food was pretty good, I cut my steak up with my butter knife. It was very expensive, but it was nice for a treat!

From there we went to Ken and Tina’s house. They just purchased a new home in University Park. That area of town has large newer homes. They do have a nice (and large) house. We spent a bit of time there chatting before heading for home as I had another early morning the next morning.

So, back to work 8am Sunday morning for me. We were putting price tags on everything. I was very happy to do that, because I know as a consumer, how much easier life is when there is a price on the item you are looking at!

We have everything out of boxes and on shelves or in the stockroom. However, our computers were not working, so as of 5:30pm last night when I left work they still did not have any cash registers. The owners wanted to open the store today, but if they didn’t get the cash registers functioning last night, we weren’t going to be able to open today. Regardless, I am working tonight also. I adjusted my schedule at SH to work 7am-4pm, and then I will work at WnW 4:30pm-9pm. I have to work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights this week.

As far as the store goes, it’s just not done. The cash register area doesn’t have all it’s walls, the bakery area only has framed walls and nothing is hooked up. Also, we only have 2 working wash tubs and no dryers. I think it will be a while before the wash area is ready. I hope on Thursday, my first night off from there, I can bring my dogs in for a wash! I am not sure why they are rushing to open when the store is still such a mess, but I guess they really want to try to start moving the merchandise.

I am glad that with the holiday’s coming I will get a few days off for a break! I will have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off from both jobs. And then I have New Years Day off from both jobs. I will only have to work at SH for New Years Eve and maybe my boss will be kind and let me out early!
