Tonight's adventure

Ok, so I work my little 5 hr shift. As I walk into the backroom to clock out, my sweater bumps a thumbtack off a bulletin board. It flies across me and naturally I go to pick it up since nobody was that suprise on their shoe. The thumbtack stops bouncing in front of a manager's office. She is so happy see me.

"Jordan", she squeals. We had a bunch of call ins and we need extra help, would you like to stay. Not really, but I stop myself before the words escape my lips and verbally answer "Sure". Hey, I need money. So my 5 little hours become 10 long hours, and yes breaks were added. The crowd never slowed down and while working I am wondering when my niece's church program I said might come is. Was it tonight or tomorrow, or yesterday? I'll call sister tomorrow.

So on with my extra hours and cookies I will not be baking tonight. Manager says my time I'm suppose to leave can start my lunch break. I have no lunch, I was expecting to leave. I hope I don't pass out from starvation before the end of my new shift. I have no money for the candy machine for snack chips. My buddy is taking her break when I I sit down. She offers me Cheetos and Easy Mac and cheese so I don't faint from hunger. So nice her. Later someone brought cookies so had a cookie on my other break.

Make it to the end of my new shift very sleepy and disorganized when people ask me questions. As I walk from my area I announce to coworkers I am running away, not staying til midnight. Then went grocery shopping and now home with a Precious on my lap upset I'm typing instead of petting him. Ah, bed is calling me. Must answer.

Tonight I said to coworkers I will be cleaning my apartment for xmas dinner tomorrow so don't call if you catch the flu. I am not coming. To bed.
