When its time to take inventory in my BigBox store, everything revolves around that. My working schedule for the past 10 days has been up and down, with long, hard days and plenty of work. In my position, I deal with all the things that are damaged or broken and need to be returned to vendors. And the biggest frustration I have is with other co-workers who know for 90 days when inventory will be, yet wait until the last day, the last minute, to finish bringing all of those kinds of items to my department. Taking all of the inventory processes into account, the time allotted to me to complete my tasks is very limited. When I arrived at the store this morning, I found I'd been inundated over night with carts and carts full of things. Even though the store tells everyone that the cutoff time is 8pm the night before, that doesn't mean people pay attention. Needless to say, my first hour into my job this morning and I was snapping at anyone who tried to bring more -- actually, I was snippy with anyone who tried to talk to me! Not my typical behavior!! Part of the problem with being that way has to do with the lack of sleep. I worked a goofy shift of 2-11pm, then turned around and was back at work at 4:45am. Definitely not enough sleep, or even rest, for this old gal! I took a 3 hour nap after I got home, and darn if I'm still not feeling sluggish.
With all the working hours, I've found it hard to get in much workout time -- we shall see what the scale says tomorrow when I see my demon .... errrr.... Damien, my personal trainer. *laughs* I missed out watering my cactus yesterday, so after my marathon nap today, I slipped out and gave them all a big drink, and found that one of my newest cacti is growing a brand new bloom! (Blooms don't last long here, so catching them when they happen is special)
As I'm posting this, I'm listening to a link fav blogger Lloyd Kahn had posted an hour ago:
The sun goes down on the cattle trail and I'm gazing at the moon
It's roundup time way out west when the cactus is in bloom.
