Another day in the life....
I never seem to know what I am walking into when I go to work.
Last night our night person got sick, and wanted to go home. No one would work it, so the manager worked the night shift. He went home this morning, leaving me in charge. I had two people from the Pratt store that we were training, (the Pratt manager isn't qualified as a training manager)working 8 to 5, and the deli person, working 6 am until 2 pm. I had another person coming in at 11 am, working until 7, and two people 3 to 11 pm. The manager had left me training the new people, and a 3 page list of cleaning/organizing stuff to get done ASAP.
We are supposed to be getting the customer service area remodeled, and they are supposed to be adding new large cigarette cabinets. The guys arrived today to install the cabinets, but Oh-Oh! Our company forgot to get the remodel done first... No room for cabinets! While the cabinets are sitting in the back of the truck getting damp from the rain that is falling, they guys contact their company to decided what to do. I thought it was obvious - go back where you came from, and take the cabinets with you!!
What a day.
Andy came flying in... He had a load of potatoes going to Colorado, and was running late, but we hadn't seen each other at all yesterday (he went to Nebraska) and he wanted to see me before he left, since he probably won't come back until tomorrow. He brought me about 15 pounds of new red potatoes just hours out of the field... He had a whole hopper trailer full of them, loaded right from the dirt in the field into his trailer. I am planning on cooking some of the tiny ones in a big pot with fresh green beans and bacon. Love that!
Rhonda gets off work at 7, and since Andy has promised me more potatoes, I am going to take some over to her and Alan's house this evening.
