Work, Overnight shift, Cosmetics, Kids and the Fair.

The last few weeks have been very busy. Work has been hectic since we lost two of our presentation team members. We have a new team member called Cris. She seems pretty cool so far. She's a great worker and her being there has helped with the workload somewhat. If she hadn't come in when she did, We would of been absolutely swamped with work! Up until just this week, We've been about three days worth of work behind. Ya know how we're the ones responsible for setting up the aisles and putting out the new product? Well, for the last three weeks up until today, We haven't been pulling the product ourselves for the aisles we just set. We've been having to have help from other teams, That's how far behind we were. The last two weeks before this one was when we had so much work to do that they ACTUALLY payed us overtime. The reason we've been struggling the last couple of weeks is because we've been setting HBA (Health and Beauty). So, the week before last was when we set most of the aisles of Shampoo and stuff like that. Than last week we set various areas, mostly HBA. We set the bath and body works, The perfume and the hair accessories. We also set some of the Intimates the end of last week. This week we set all of the cosmetics. So to have enough time to set it all we worked four 10 hour shifts. On Sunday and Monday we came in at 10:30pm and didn't leave until 9:00am. Then we came in on Wednesday at 3am and didn't leave until 1:30pm. And today (Thursday) we came in a little later at 3:30am because it's pointless to come in early if you have to just sit there for 20 minutes while you wait for them to try and figure out how to override the lights and get them turned back on, Especially when they come on automatically at 3:30am anyway. And we didn't leave until a little after 1pm. We set all of mens socks and the mens hats and belts today. Then we went and did some revisions over in toys. That was not fun! Ya know since it's spring break and all, We had little kids everywhere! They made a mess of the toy aisles. Cris was having THE hardest time out of all of us. She actually had kids purposefully putting toys in her way, They were messing up what she had JUST organized and ya know the labels that go above the hanging product? Well they come on a sheet that has perforated edges. Well one of the kids came over, Grabbed the sheet of labels and tore it in half down the middle! And it wasn't even along the perforated edges! So she had to go all the way to the backroom and print more labels. I can't believe people will just let there kids run wild like that! I would never let my kids do that! So as you may of been able to guess, We've been absolutely exhausted the last 3 weeks. I've been so tired this week that when I would sit down in the break-room for lunch, I would actually start falling asleep. I could literally NOT keep my eyes open! Yesterday and today during lunch I actually dropped my phone because of it. My grip would loosen for just a second and there it went, Clattering to the floor. Poor phone. So I'm pretty happy that I have the next 3 days off. I can sleep as much as I want! After I got home today, I took a 2 hour nap without meaning to. I just sat down and the next thing I know, It's 4pm already. Then I head over to daddys house hangout for a bit before all three of us go to the park to play Frisbee. That was really fun, We haven't done that in a long time! Speaking of fun, We went and checked out the Texas Rodeo and fair the other day. That was awesome! I hadn't been to a fair in many many years. We only rode one ride, But we're all going back on Saturday and we're going to get the all you can ride bracelets and thoroughly enjoy ourselves! As you can tell, I'm really looking forward to it. Aleshia gets back from Springfield MO tomorrow night. She left last Friday night on a bus to visit her family. So she's been gone for a week! Since she's been gone, I've been sleeping on the sofa with mango because that's the only time this week that I've had to spend with him. He has enjoyed it very much! Sleeping on the sofa is also partly why I've been so tired this week. Getting your sleep on a sofa is not nearly as restful as in a bed. But I'll be sleeping there one more night, Then it's back to sleeping in my bed. YAY!!! Another part of why I've been so tired, Especially this week is because me and daddy have started using the gym everyday. We wanna start getting in better shape. Plus we've discovered that you feel a lot better after you workout!

Well I gotta go, Dinner is ready and I'm Starving!! See ya later and I hope you enjoyed hearing what I've been up to :-).

P.S. Here's a pic of the one ride we did get to go on.
