it's been....really......just THAT kinda day.......
like i can't figure out of it's good or bad or perhaps i just shouldn't have woken up at all! firstly... i wake up, on ma 14th day of work straight, at 2:30am and i can barely get myself up and out of bed. i'm just...tired. i get dressed, don't even bother with ma hair, ffs, i wear a hairnet all day anyway, why bother? get in ma truck, and OOooooOOoo... coast to coast is on. yea, i'm a talk radio junkie.
so goes ma day... like a coin, flipping in the air. good side, bad side, good side bad side, over and over.
good side: i stop for gas..and IT'S UNDER $3 A GALLON!! HOLY SHIT! seems like forever since it's been that cheap. well, 2.95 is ALMOST $3, but still....bad side: it STILL takes 'round bout $50 to fill ma tank, and i KNOW i'm gonna need another fill up in 4 days.
good side: the clerk at the gas station used to work for ma company, i know her well..bad side: she tells me "you look like you could have killed your alarm clock, packed your clothes into the bags under your eyes, and fled for mexico"
good side: i buy one of those gleceau vitamin energy drinks (i love those things) bad side
eems that company KNEW i loved 'em and raised the price $.50. good side: the shop clerk bought me a 5 hour energy shot cuz she knows me, i look like complete shit, and she feels bad.
i get to work... start my normal daily stuff... *ie putting bread into the proof box, setting up coffee cakes for the proofer, putting donuts in the oven and glazing, etc*
good side: the energy drink has me amped, the tunes from my ipod are all great, everything's smooth as butter bad side: none.
after an hour i'm golden, every thing's ahead of schedule, every thing's coming out perfect..my BEST clerk comes in. this chick is NUTS, and i love her. she's perfect for management, as she's bossy, and thinks of EVERYTHING, but has said she'll only go into management if it's at THIS bakery, and I'M the mgr. since nothing is guaranteed, she won't do it.
together, we're on fire...laughing, joking, swapping stories. we get silly that early in the morning, and keep each other in fits of giggles by our own private jokes "fudgeBAG" tho we're both tired, myself exhausted.
good side: we're so far ahead, it should be 10am instead of 6am. bad side: i realize we're out of key lime pies, so i have to go to another store. i drive off @ 6am, get to the other store, and have free reign on their freezer. i leave them 4 cases of keylime pies lighter, and maself getting more and more behind at work.
i'd promised ma clerk, ma friend, breakfast upon ma return. so i stop at the sonic right next to the other store..
good side: OMG tasty food, AND an iced latte for me...yay!! a treat!
bad side: guess there's only ONE person working, and she's new...so it takes 20 minutes to get my order. seriously.
i get back to ma store, bust off almost all my orders, then feel that familiar twinge of pain in my midsection. oh ffs......i'm about to start my period. i'd been anticipating it for the past few days, and wore the appropriate undies *anything NOT thongs* yet, this morning, being exhausted, i put on ma usual....thongs...FUCK!
good side: i'm not pregnant
bad side: i feel like someone's stabbing ma uterus with a rusty pitchfork.
i try to do the majority of the decorating bent almost in half from pain, and manage to finish all the orders as well as much of the backup work needed. THEN it's time to do the end of the week paperwork...last sunday, i'd pulled my boss aside *the evil nemesis* and told him what was going to happen THIS week... i wanted to drop our stales (amount of stuff we throw away each week) to at LEAST 30%. and i wanted to drop our inventory by at least $300. keep in mind, my "manager" the P.O.S. who i've been training to do HER job, is on vacation.
good side: i dropped my stales to 23%, BELOW the company average. AND dropped inventory ALMOST $700. as well as increased other things that our company uses as markers of a well running bakery.
HA! i'm sure the powers that be (be full of themselves, be full of shit) are going to notice something THAT dramatic...in one week!
bad side: if they notice, and they act on that...this kind of performance is gonna be expected wherever i go, and i'm not sure i can deliver...
i had all the data in ma hand...took it to the evil one. before i presented it, asked him if he remembered my personal goals from the beg of the week. he said he did, and quoted them. i presented the results, well BETTER than my goals. hehhehehehehhehehehehehe...
i actually got a "WOW!" and some praise. my favorite thing he said is, "your so damn cocky. but it's well deserved"
O.O
now i'm off, and i have my first day off in forever tomarrow. i can't wait....until then...
floating and singing a song for ma dums...
