I had a 4 am start this morning and after work it was go go go. I didn't even think twice about how tired I might have been and now that I'm home it's kicking in. Even at work I didn't feel all that tired. When I got off work I walked home to drop off the items I had bought at work then headed to the mall to pick up a new pair of shoes. Nate met me there and surprised me with a gift card for a manicure and pedicure at a salon. I think I'll make an appointment for Monday
I hadn't had lunch yet so we headed over to the food court. Lately I've been feeling really gross. I haven't been drinking enough water or eating enough raw fruits and veggies and I just feel like a pile of crap. I got a salad for lunch, but it's going to take more than just a salad to help me feel better. I'm going to have to get back to the gym. I think if I even just went twice a week I would feel way better than not going at all. Just for the sake of conversation I told Nate that the movie Drive is supposed to be really good. He looked it up on his phone and said it was starting in about an hour. I totally wanted to go see it, but then he noticed that Our Idiot Brother was starting sooner and he wanted to see that. So we watched Our Idiot Brother. Nate figured our friends would want to see Drive also so we should save it for a night out at the movies with a group of our friends. I wanted to see Our Idiot Brother too, but I didn't think it was theatre worthy. It's not, you could enjoy it just as much as watching it at home plus have the benefit of being able to pause it. I had to get up at one point and use the bathroom. Stupid juice, lol. At the end of the movie they show bloopers with the credits including a woman I didn't see in the film all. I said, "Who was that? She wasn't in this!" and then realized it was a brief scene that happened while I was in the bathroom. Grr. I enjoyed it though. It was funny and I enjoyed watching it. It was one of those movies, for me, where I didn't think about how predictable cookie-cutter the plot was going to be or when it was going to end. I'd watch it again on purpose.Oh boy! This day is catching up to me. I'm glad to be home, actually. I had essentially been on the go since 3 am. Yikes! Not a fan of these early morning anymore. I was a bit choked when I got to work because both of the regular keyholders were in this morning AND there were more of us than usual. I have no idea why I needed to be there. On the other hand it's hours so I don't want to complain...too much.
It's been an interesting week at work. On Monday there was a power outage around midday. Wednesday the fire alarm went off because a truck apparently backed into a sprinkler and set it off around Save On Foods. Thursday I come in to find out both of the tills at the customer service desk were broken, so I was working it like it was 1995 and selling cigarettes and doing returns through a checkout. This morning an electrical engineer came in to assist us with a power down so that we could reset our terminals and replace the fuse that was blown on Monday. It's a very long process and the terminals don't always play nice afterward so someone is on the phone with our IT department to ensure proper procedures are followed and the computers don't get screwed up. Well! At 9 am after all that shut down stuff was completed and the store was open we had ANOTHER power outage! So we were closed for about half an hour. At least I got to completely fill the cigarettes while we waited for all the terminals to come back online. It's such a piss off though because the electrical engineer and IT are going to have to do it all over again. Obviously there is something going on within the building itself. Not to mention the AC isn't working properly so it's a freaking furnace in there!
Anyway it's made for an interesting week and, this probably sounds weird but, I find stuff like this fun. I love it when a wrench in thrown into the regular day to day to shake things up.
