View Full Version : My day....so far

You could say I am not having one of my best days. It started bad so I should have known it wouldn't get any better.

Firstly this morning in a lovely hot shower then the water stops. Not just running cold because I've used too much hot water but completely stops. No water at all, mid shower! What the ?

Great, my hubby has left early for work (men! never around when you need them!).
Not a problem though. If the water suddenly stops it has to be the stop tap, right?

So I grab a robe and ugg boots (yes I know, don't say it) and head outside to check the stop tap.
It's 6.50 am in Hobart on a winters morning - it's a bloody freezing 5 degrees.
Can't see any problem with the stop tap so head back inside before the water dripping from my hair snaps freezes!

Back into the bathroom turn on the taps and water going again - but hardly any pressure. Better than nothing though.

By now I am running late for the bus. Get to the bus mall run for the bus and as I get to it the driver shuts the doors and pulls away from the kerb. Why doesn't that surprise me!?

Finally get to work. Message on my voice mail, my staff member calling to say she won't be in today because she has a sick child!
Arrrgggghh working mothers!
Don't start me on them because my lack of political correctness toward them has got me in to trouble before.

Now I have to cover for her as well.

Look at all the work piling up in my tray and think to myself I need a coffee. Head off down to the coffee shop and order a large long black double shot.

Head back to the office jump in the lift, press level 14 and the smell of the coffee makes me feel better.
Lift stops and in jumps a guy I cannot stand the sight of.
Not to worry, fast lift won't have to spend a lot of time with him.

I should have known better.

Lift stops! It's stuck!
End up spending 20 minutes with the bloke I normally avoid like the plague.

The day is only half over. I need therapy. Where's my bloody whip?!!!:eek:

Yeah, that sucks Bee. Every once in a while you'll have days where nothing goes right for you, not even while making some coffee in the morning.

It's worse when you have two nieces pestering you. ;)

Even though it's 6pm and i'm still at the office, my day has been pretty good. Hot shower, 10 minute car ride to work, cruised through the day, an hour lunch break, about to leave, and when I get home, my GF should have just about finished cooking dinner. :thumbsu:

Just gotta do the washing up.

My day starts at 2:15am when my alarm goes off.

In the shower for 5mins.

Have a quick coffee while watching TV.

Leave at 2:45am and head to work.
(nearly hit a hitch hiker, I say if you go out drinking leave enough money for a cab home).

Get to work at 3:00am (Security guard has coffee waiting for me when I get there, Security Guard=Legend but he tends to ramble on a bit).

After looking at the stock count in our pick isle, go in and out of chamber (temp=2deg) for over an hour fixing up picking errors.

Start to bring orders out at 4:30am for storeman to start picking at 6am.

Have my 4th coffee for the day at 5:30am (no wonder I'm boucing off the walls by 6:30).

Let the storeman know (who made the picking errors what they picked wrong and tell them to be more careful when picking - falls on deaf ears at time).

From 7am, have a few headaches with stock in wrong location and wrong UBD in the pick isle, this lasts until 1:30pm

Oops by the way coffee van comes at 8:30 - 9:00 for a nice hot chocolate with marshmello.

Home at 2:00pm for a couple of Jim Beams.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY:thumbsu:

It's not so bad in summer but come winter time it's a different story.

I'm looking for another job as I have the 7year itch.

Kudos to you mate. There is no way I could ever do that. Getting up at 4:30AM to get a flight once in a blue moon is tough enough.

Don't blame you mate. I wouldn't get up at 2am for anything less than serious money. Sounds like you've well and truly earned the right to say giday to your friends and family again.:thumbsu:
