So it has been a couple of weeks since Easter though you wouldn't know that if you were one of my fellow coworkers, soon after business slowed down a bit as it always does after a major holiday (except for the day after which for some unknown reason was ridiculously busy) but because some jackass thought it was a brilliant idea to have inventory day the Tuesday after Easter it didn't even matter. The store always looks like shit after a holiday and I am often stuck will enough back stock to feed the whole fragging town because the warehouse sent me way more than I actually needed but hey my job isn't hard enough anyway.
Unfortunately that slowdown didn't last very long, customers are back and back with a vengeance things have been so unexpectedly busy this last week or so that it is literally just as busy now as it was in the weeks leading up to Easter. No really, I am not joking I Pinkie promise while Easter is not nearly as busy as Thanksgiving and Christmas it can still of course get busy. And as things get busy the likelihood of my loads actually arriving on time drops like a rock, I have had at least 3 loads this week arrive late on me. My milk load yesterday was on time but my wall load (yogurt, cheese, juice, eggs ect) was 4 hours late, with the unusually large amount of 6 wheelers in the back room I seriously lucked out big time. I may not have been able to work very much of it, but I was at least able to stack it off and get things ready for the next days milk load which is one of the largest of the week.
To make matters worse Mr Slash and Burn my boss who has screwed me countless times by cutting hours so much that it is often nearly impossible for me to get anything done is doing it yet again. This time he is doing it by having my only help go home early multiple times this week while I stay even though he wants to stay far far more than I do and because he is lower on the pay scale than I am having him stay makes a lot more sense in terms of saving labor than having me stay. I know it gets me some extra cash but some things like my own sanity for example are far more important than money. I am seriously look forward to June as that is when I am going to take my vacation as I will probably need a bit of a break before we get into the 4th of July.
