thank goodness the day is pretty much over!

It has been one HECK of a day. I'm so glad I'm at home, snuggled in with my blanket and watching TV.

I hate complaining, but I've got to vent and it has to be somebody other than the people I work with :)

The day started off by McDonalds shorting me $2.00 in change. I will never pay cash again. I didn't call them, and shame on me, but it's $2.00 and how am I going to prove it?

The boss man was off today, so the team (or those who bothered to show up) hardly worked. And when they hardly work, its hard for me to work when they're all pretty much messing around.

My company has these nominations... each time somebody nominates them or recognizes them, you give them a letter to Quality. For each letter, you earn points towards the company store. I don't remember what happens when you achieve Quality... but you get something. So today, I nomimated 3 different people. Each time after I nominated somebody and tried to do the next person, I got an error message. Which meant I lost everything I had just typed... UGH. I got smart after the 2nd one and copied my recognition onto a word document first.

When our company was bought out, we had a crap ton of stationary, enevelopes and folders with our old business name on them. I donated a lot to an elementary school down the street last year, then after cleaning out the supply closet recently, I found 4 more boxes. I called that school again, and after waiting for a week I gave up on waiting. I called another school today and they were estatic! I used mapquest for the school, and OMG! I ended up in a different city, about 20 miles from where I should have been. WTF?!? Thankfully, I was able to get the stuff delivered tonight.

One of the things I hate the most ... going to WalMart... or the grocery store. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I can't freakin stand it. Tonight was the first time I've went for groceries in about 5 weeks (I stopped for milk and bread when I got back to KC after the New Years). Seriously... 5 weeks! I. CAN'T. STAND. WALMART. They were out of loofahs (body scrubbers), shave gel, mini chocolate chips, the rolls I always buy, rugs (those cheap rugs that can be used in cars, at the front door, wherever)... UGH! And rude people, OMG! Do people not get that if you're going to leave your cart to go look at an item to move it along the side or in an aisle where there isn't a lot of "traffic"... don't put it in the middle of the freakin aisle. I couldn't believe how empty the place was... it was only 5:30 and the store looked like a tornado had went through it.

So, I'm leaving WalMart - to see its snowing like a freakin' blizzard. I apparently did not watch the weather... I didn't have my hat or mittens with me, and snowing. Nice. People in the KC and KC metro fall apart when its snowing. On a typical 10 minute drive home from WalMart, it took me probably 25. *SIGH*

Then... as I'm driving home, I almost hit a deer. Like I think I may have actually touched him with my bumber. All my groceries in the trunk went flying towards the front of the car...

But... my Monday is over...if things work out the way its supposed to, our team should be going out for an excellent dinner Wednesday and then bowling Friday afternoon. Okay, I'm done venting :) Thanks for listening!! Have a great week!
