Mondays


You know after you've had your weekend, Mondays come back to laugh in your face. I've rested, had some fun, done some work and decided to come into work with a new attitude. No more stressing over the minor stuff.
Then the first phone call just blows it all away. From there the neverending supply of paper rolls through, shuffling away the day. All at once, the printer has to have new trackers (to be installed by me) and the new credit card machine has arrived and is not connecting to where ever it is that its supposed to hook up to. Okay, got all that. No one bothered to put paper in the copier and left the document for which I had been searching (wasting about an hour) under the door. TaDa!
Also I had to set an appointment to get the cat spayed and my eyes checked. Hopefully I won't get them reversed. Oh yeah, and to find the part needed to hook up the dryer at home. And to get a plunger to unstop the toilet at work. Hope nobody forgets and flushes.
Oh, back to the day. The postage machine ran out of postage and needed its fix. The computer crashed after lunch. Ran to the postoffice to get the mail and get moneyorders in time to get them back and into the UPS system before the truck gets there.
Inventory is in two weeks and the deadline is looming to get the years "changeout" done. Charge out the freight, do receiving, the the bills paid. Allthewhile the phones are ringing off the wall to which no one but me seems to hear.
Good part of the day is going home.
Don't ya just love Mondays!
