I went into work at 8:00 at my grocery store. At first everything was ok - work was slow and I just had to bring in a few carts, but then after a little while, I got tired of that. I couldn't bag because we had a charity group bagging for tips.

Alrighty, so THEN it suddenly gets crazy. We get a lot of people, but I'm still pulling the same amount of carts from the lot. The carts slowly diminish as we have more people come in, and then I was working like crazy to keep them in. So after 3 hours, my manager comes and is like, "Hey, go cut 20 fruit cups and a bunch of party trays for Produce!"

So I go to Produce and start working on that. I get 3/4 of the fruit cups done when he comes again and is like, "Hey, we can't keep the carts in. You gotta go push carts again." The Produce Manager ended up finishing the fruit cups as I go back to the front and find out there are absolutely no carts available for the customers.

I then have to find carts off of the parking lot, and I'll find 5 or 6 at a time, and bring them into the store only to have 3 or 4 of them get taken immediately. Repeat this process over and over and over until it was time for me to go.

Yeah, today was tough. Yesterday was almost as bad, a little easier than this, but I'm absolutely relieved that I don't have to do that again (at least for a long time).

So anyway, if I don't log on tomorrow, I hope everyone has a great holiday. I can't wait for tomorrow - not only do I love recieving presents, but I also can't wait to see how my family reacts to what I got them. I did all of my shopping in October, so I can't quite remember everything I got for them, but it should be fun anyway. And this'll be Brandy's first Christmas with us, so I know she's excited too.

Also I'd like to thank Emily for her Secret Santa gift! I wasn't sure what to expect! XD
