I Should Have Listened To My Gut

Work was completely horrible last night.

Since I worked with L, I was on USCAN.  I think I would have gone even more crazy if I had been on register like I was scheduled.  Even though I worked with L, it was nothing like it usually is.  Everything happened all at once.  Why the hell does everyone decide to shop at the same time at 11:30p?!  Don't you guys sleep?!  Not only did we have a huge rush causing massive lines, but on USCAN, two of the three open decided to run out of bills and wouldn't give anyone change.  This means we had to go into our drawer and personally give out change to every single person that came through the USCAN that didn't go to the only one still full.  Not only did two of the three open run out of change, but the other one ran low in the coin dispenser.  Now, for those of you that don't know USCAN, when this happens a very annoying buzzing will go off until you fill the coin accepter.  Due to the massive rush we had we couldn't fill it right away, so the buzzing continued.  Finally the rush slowed down.

You didn't think that was all that happened last night did you?  We close at 1a, and till usually will go through around 12:15a for us.  If you don't know what till is, it basically is the start of the next day in the computer.  If I go to work on the 11th, all orders after till goes through are considered to be done on the 12th.  We can't shut anything down to leave until after till goes through.  Last night, five minutes to closing rolls around and till still hadn't gone through.  I called the help desk and he told me register 7 was the problem.  Now, take note, register 7 hasn't been used in nearly a week.  That is the register that would randomly shut off and restart itself.  That's the register I was on during the storm in one of my previous posts.  So, to fix the problem the guy on the other end of the phone had me transfer the call from the CSM desk to register 9.  Once I got on register 9 he walked me through some steps.  Long story short, there was a whole order on register 7 that I had to void!  How a whole order got on register 7 when it hasn't been used is beyond me.  I told him that the register's been broken and hadn't been run on in over three days.  As soon as I voided the order, till went through.  If that register hasn't been run on, then that means that order has been there awhile.  If that was the cause of till not going through, I want to know how till went through the night before without a problem.

Needless to say I left a nice long note to the opening CSM's.  It should be fun to see how tonight goes.  If it's anything like last night I may have to pull out all my hair and kill all the customers.  No, not really.  I work with M tonight, that means a lot of gossip.  It should be a lot of fun.  I love my job at times, it's just so pathetically comedic.  Some of the customers that come through our lines are just the most colorful people ever!  Because I am a closer, I see a lot of the same people.  You get know them after awhile.

I got Dennis a huge back of munchies.  It consisted of pistacio nuts, tootsie rolls, and smarties.  After work, I went to drop it off and he invited me to sleep over.  I absolutely love going to sleep next to him and waking up with him right there.  I gave him a long back massage last night.  He was in heaven.  I love seeing him happy, I'd do absolutely anything to make him as happy like that all the time.  We really do spoil eachother way too much.  But, I guess if spoiling eachother makes us happy, then why not do it, right?  I felt really bad.  When I woke up this morning, I couldn't get back to sleep.  I decided to go home and try to write a bit and hopefully fall back asleep.  Unfortunately, I had to wake him up to get out of his bed because I sleep on the inside near the wall.  I really do hate leaving like that.  He just makes me so happy that I'm not even sure what to do with myself!  I can't wait until he meets the rest of my friends and I can show him off to everyone I know.

I just found out that Dennis got a union job that pays $15/hr.  Basically, his dad has worked with this guy since he was in his 20's and he started the company about seven years ago.  Well, the guy stopped by while Dennis and his dad were doing a construction job to say hi.  Dennis was really busy and didn't really have the time to talk.  This guy saw how hard Dennis was working and decided to offer him the job!  See?  Hard work does pay off once in awhile.  But, this doesn't mean he's too busy for his computer business.  So, if anyone needs their computers fixed you should definately visit http://k0p.net/ to save a lot of time and a lot of money.  Plus, you'll really be helping him out!

I guess I should stop ranting and raving and possibly clean up the house a bit more.  I really am surprised at how well things are going, I'm completely happy.  I love life so much, and I'm so glad that Dennis is in my life.
