Bad day

Let's see where do I start. Uh, put the cats on leashes, spent most of the time in the cool stairwell, carried them back, and they meow at the door. Come in to work and need to call the manager. She says they are now cutting back on hours, stopped the extra dollar per hour on weekends and after 10 PM, and in 8 to 12 months we will be a corporate location. They already cut a half hour from my schedule when I starting closing for a coworker, how much more are they going to cut? So the way I figure, I need to cut $90 off my monthly budget (taking off for taxes). Where shall I start? A) toss the cell phone B) cancel internet C) end landline service and just use cell D) end 401K contributions E) all of the above. Getting rid of cat is not an option.

I am trying to stop all fast food eating, unplug things that don't need resetting, limiting 1 hour of computer time at a time, cut back on the heat from this nice weather, use microwave more often and stove less, don't go anywhere unless I have to, try to grocery shop after work instead of day off to save on gas, get grocery strore brands whenever possible, not read before bed (or limit it to an hour), read during daytime instead of TV, so I don't know what more I can cut back on.

And to top my bad day off I'm scraping for cars to meet reservations. Oh yeah, a guy calls up wanting to know when we close. I recite our closing time and the fact we wait for delayed flights. I ask his flight and name. He replies, It's a long story. Now instead of being delayed, he was diverted to Omaha and will be bussed in. His flight to Omaha will arrive at midnight and will arrive in Des Moines at 1:30 AM. I can't exactly wait for a bus, just a flight. He wants a 24 hr car rental. None at this airport. How about outside the airport? They all close before we do. Here's the thing. There are no diverted flights and no announcements of anyone being bussed here, all flights from all 4 directions are landing. I think he missed his connection and Omaha was the closest he could get. Sorry, I'm not waiting all night for him to show up, especially w/out any name or flight to wait for. Anyway, I have 10 minutes left of my hour so I'll just say Post later. Bye!
