No good evil wicked terrible horrific very bad day
So...I had a bad day. Hugely, colossally, monstrously bad. I had to work for eleven hours, so I knew from the beginning that it would be a bad day. We had a last minute cake order I had to make and decorate. Two good employees (one of whom had been with the company for over a year and was the most senior of the entire crew) quit without notice. And one of the people who quit was supposed to close, and nobody else could close, so M and I were stuck doing everything. And then I sat outside with M to wait for his mom to pick him up. By the time I had taken the deposit to the bank and gone to Wendy's, it was almost 3:00. Not that I mind some overtime. But I'm also going in for four hours tomorrow, on what was supposed to be my day off. And I may end up working next Sunday, too. Which would mean three weeks without a day off.
Plus I need to buy some new work pants, cause one of the two pairs I have now has so many holes in it that it's pretty much useless.
Also...remember how I have jury duty in September? I was supposed to report for jury duty this past Thursday...and I completely forgot about it. It's possible that I may get away with it...after all, nobody called me, and it's possible that I wasn't needed. BUT...it's also possible that I am in big trouble and maybe will have to pay a fine or something (not sure how that works). I can't believe I forgot! I'm such an idiot. And I have to wait until Tuesday to find out...because of course no government employees would be working on a weekend or a holiday.
ALSO (bet you thought I was done, didn't you?)...apparently one of my aunts has breast cancer...beginning stages. They're hoping they can remove the lump and give her five weeks of radiation treatment and it will be okay. And she's not even my real aunt...just an aunt by marriage. But...but...she's still family. And I felt kind of petty for being all upset over my issues when she's dealing with cancer. Cancer! Just, wow.
Oh, and a drunk guy fell asleep in drive thru right after we closed. M had to bang on the car and finally pull the guy's arm out from under his head to get him to wake up long enough to pull out of the drive thru and into the front parking lot and go back to sleep (hitting every curb on his way). Cops pulled up while M and I were outside waiting for his mom, and when we left they had the guy next to his truck, talking and making vague gestures (still obviously under the influence of quite a lot of something intoxicating). It seemed oddly coincidental, because I don't remember ever seeing somebody fall asleep in a drive-thru before, but I got stuck behind a guy who fell asleep in the Taco Bell drive thru just last night. By the way...remind me never to go to Taco Bell again...I knew there was something I didn't like about them, and now I remember what it is: the food.
