Winter Wonderland

Work yesterday was partially horrible.

When I got there, the fire alarm was going off and we had to evacuate the entire mall. Yeah, fun times.

Then it seemed alright. I was trying to ring in a purchase for myself and when I went to make a comment I hit the wrong buttons and the screen went retarded. So Mariana and I just tried to close it and open it again and the program wouldn't let us log in. We called our manager, we called the emergency girl in Alberta but her phone was off. Then we called Head Office which you only do under EXTREME emergencies, but there wasn't any one there. So we were kinda flipping out and had to do some purchases by hand. Then we restarted the computer and it was fine.

THEN, oh no folks. I'm not done yet! Then this man and his son wanted to buy a necklace and earrings for the boys mother for Christmas and as I was walking over to the cash register to do it all up, the fire alarm started going off again. It goes off slow which is like a warning and once it goes fast, we have to evacuate. So it was going slow and I was trying to ring in this purchase as fast as possible so that in the event we had to evacuate they could just leave. BUT when I was entering the extended comment about the exchange dates, it decided to delete one of the purchases so I had to reenter it and then redo the comment. I could tell the dad wasn't too pleased but I apologized like crazy anyways.

So that was my day at work. Then Marty picks me up and tells me we can't go to my grandparents today because he decided to work and they aren't going to be home now until Wednesday because they're going on a coach trip with their Anglo-Indian group and they leave on Sunday. Yay.....I don't get to see my grandma for like, ever. Not fun.

Anyways, I should throw some clothes on so I can meander over to the laundromat and wash my clothes. I'm going to work on my essay while I'm there I think.

Should be fun I guess.
