Good morning to you too

This sucks and sucks bad. 

Not only do I have to buy lunch and get a Lyft, but my 2 bus played possem with me and didn't show up for over 10 mins after its time, three mins after I stopped waiting to see if it was late or just least early.

It has been done. I was lucky one day to be waiting long before it was suppose to leave because it left 10 mons early. 

Granted, if I had gotten the bus today and not have to pay Lyft for a ride to work, I wouldn't have lunch. And would have to pay more to Uber eats to feed myself today. All because I forgot my lunch on the table this morning when leaving the house. 

At least it's not raining. I’m looking at 7.5 hours of work then 2-ish hours getting home after that. At least I can just not more tomorrow until I feel like it. 

How is your day going? 

My current spending

 So two days ago, I was on my way home and starving. So I decided to order something through Uber eats so it would get there around the time I showed up. 

I had some money so I got a plate of food from this new place. Meatloaf and crispy onions and green beans with mashed potatoes. It was $20, but I decided to give it a shot. There was this other place that gave great potions for the price and I hoped this place was the same.

Maybe it was the container they sent the food in, but I didn't think the value equaled out. But it tasted good. Not great enough to make up the difference. But good. 

Then yesterday I left the house without having to go to work. We were out of hand soap, so I tried to Newport Mall to find Bat and Body Works to get some more. They were still having the 6 for $26 so I got them and came back home. I even got a few mins to take some pics of Manhattan.

That night my sister was bellyaching that she was hungry. So I opened up Uber eats again and told her to get something. I told her I wanted Chinese food, she found an outback steakhouse. 

Her part came up to $20 and mine, burger and fries, came up to the same. Tack on all the fees and whatnots and it was over $50. So I 86’Ed my order. I couldn't afford both. 

Then wonders of wonders she canceled everything and we got Chinese food from grub hub on her phone. 

Today my first bus ghosted me so by the time I got to where I was suppose to catch my second bus, I had to call an Uber to get to work on time. That cost me about $14. 

Then at the end of my shift I got four shirts. Well, two shirts and two polos. The grand total for that was $20.40. Not bad considering how much they could have cost me. 

Now I’m on my way home and I was asked to show up early if possible. Considering I showed up an hour later than I was suppose to two days ago because I remembered my schedule incorrectly, I told her I would see. I was already thinking that I would have to make it to the bus stop earlier than I did today since I can’t keep paying Uber to get me to work. So I’ll see how early I can get there. 

Later..

Do you see that time?

 I’m just going home. 

Now I have to go home, sleep and then get up for work when the sun rises. Then work another 7 &1/2 hours. Thank goodness I have the weekend off. 

Next week is going to be busy and long. I may get overtime again. We have so much organized to do after live floorset. 

In the Uber and I’m almost home. Later.

70 degrees?

 We have been freezing our asses off for two to three days and today it’s 70 degrees out?

It just occurred to me that you might be wondering why I’m just leaving my house. I have night shift today and tomorrow. 6 pm till 2 am. I am not going to be left to fend for myself on how I’m getting home. They are paying for an Uber or will pay me back for the Uber I will have to call to get my butt home. They have done it both ways.

So why the overnight? Live floor set. Yes. We did do this a few weeks/ a month ago. And now we are doing it again. I thought this whole thing was going to go digital, but apparently, they can’t afford that level of tech yet. 

Anyway. It's now three to nine days out of our lives that we do this. Overnight is only 2 days. But my store started to prep for this since last week and it won’t be done until this Friday.

I want to get a salad to take to work with me. Yes. I do like salads. Good salads. But like this whole week, so far, which started on Sunday for me, I won’t jeopardize getting to work on time for it. I’ll just order Uber eats. 

Well later.  

Lunch upgrade

 I tried to leave home at a certain time so I would have time to buy lunch, but that didn't work out. By the time I got to the bus station, I had ten minutes until it left and I wasn't going to miss it by getting something to eat.

So my $5 sandwich has just turned into a $15 meal on Uber eats. 

Other than that I think I’m getting use to my new duties. Still, practice is needed. 

Yesterday I was off so I stayed in bed reading until I dragged myself to the computer to do something with my current story. But on Friday we had an interesting closing. There were a few insufficient funds issues. A misunderstanding of a coupon and a family wondering around the store after hours like they rented the store out for themselves and leaving a mess behind.

But this is all normal for me you say. And yes. But it was all one group /family that did this. By the time they left, I think they had 100 pieces and it was 15 past 7. 

Luckily, I wasn't the one ringing them up but I had other things to keep myself busy. 

I did learn one interesting thing on the way home. I got a lift to jfk and 5th and learned that I was a short block from Summit ave. 

I thought it was much further a way. The times I have stood and 5th when I could have gotten another bus was shocking. At least now I know. 

Later.

YEAH!

 I can power walk again. By the skin of my own breath I caught the bus just now. 

I was late by 20 mins yesterday. I am not repeating that today. 

I was trying to only take an hour to get ready but I can't do it. I need to go to sleep earlier so I can have an hour and a half to wake up and get ready. 

Yesterday my bus came early and I missed it. Today I was tired and kept falling back asleep. 

Part of the reason I didn't fall asleep closer to the time I wanted was because Wendy’s texted me back last night at 11:30 to resolve an issue with an order I placed. 

Darn! I forgot to pocket a receipt on my way out the door. That is for another payment issue that happened the same day.  

Ok. Bye.
