What a day

I'm ready to take my break, BUT the coworker who is suppose to come in at the same time I take my break is not there. Okay, 5 minutes late you think she is just stuck in traffic.15 minutes late you think she better be in a ditch. 30 minutes late start to get PO'ed cause I want my break and customers keep coming so can't call for a manager for help. Call for additional sales clerk to help me with the crowd gathering at my register. Coworker and manager come to help. 40 minutes make my coworker's absence when I need a break known to manager. Oh, her husband called to say she was sick and manager forgot all about it. Thanx. Get my break and return to find coworker there. 1 hour late. What is she doing here, she suppose to be sick? She took a sleeping pill instead of a look alike pill she was suppose to take and it knocked her out. Poor dear.

At the end of my shift, I'm by myself and not suppose to abandon the counters. Call for additional help for other registers is heard so wait until I could see no customers to occupy them. Call for a manager and explain I'm suppose to leave 10 minutes ago, can they send someone to relieve me. Get another 15 minutes on my paycheck and relief comes. Yeah, I can use my coupon now. Intend to buy one shirt and walk away with three. Amazing how that happens.  My manager is at the register alone, poor dear. She checks me out and I comment how I learned to be annoying when extra help doesn't come. Hey, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, right? 

Now I'm home. I'm ready for a nap.
