My Day Today

By Heather

This is how I started out.

See? See? Look How happy I am. I woke up like this, like I do every morning...mostly. Now even though I'm working a split shift today I was relatively happy. Until...I saw the front end schedule...three hour gap in lumbar, three hour gap in garden.


Its okay...my day can still be salvaged. I worked the schedule so I had coverage in lumber and in garden and laid down the foundation for my mid shifter to pull coverage from the back if needed. So then ten o'clock rolls around so I'm out for a couple of hours. So I thought "Hey! I'm gonna be little miss productive today and finally get this mess with our mail figured out." and then life said "NOPE!" It took me a half hour to find the post office and it turned out to be the wrong one.

It was now that I was beginning to doubt that today was going to be salvaged. The man at the post off gave me the address and directions on how to get to the right one. So I was comfident that I salvaged my day.
So yeah, go me. I was little miss productive. But still life said "NOPE!" and as soon as I got there, an hour later because I got lost, severly lost because they like to hide the Greentree post office. As soon as I got there they were incredibly unwilling to understand or help. She finally gave me a number to call and when I called he said the system didn't come up until noon and to call back then.

At this point I was pissed because of the bums the state hires that don't do their job and makes good honest people go through hell just to get their mail. I haven't gotten any mail in a month.

After calling back at noon and recieving no answer several times I finally recieved comformation that my mail should be fixed but I have to wait another 14 business days to recieve my mail. I have now realized that my day will not be salvaged because I spent three hours doing someone elses job. Something that should have been fixed through on change of address form.

And I still have to go back to close the store at 5:30 to 10:30 tonight...
