I need time to pass faster

Work
I was too exhausted to get up this morning so I reset the alarm for 5:25.

This morning Victor left me a note on my computer saying how much he loved me.

Then I got to work and all was fine until about 6:15. That's when Zhaun asked me to make a bale. Ok, sure. So I went over to make it and it didn't look full and there were these big boxes in front of it so I put those in and tried to close it. It wouldn't close. So I had to push and push to try and cram it all back in and I go all but one box in enough to close the grate. I pushed and pushed and nothing. I did end up cutting my finger on a box though and scraping my hands and my wrists started hurting, as well as my shoulders and back and arms. I started cutting pieces off the bottom box. During all this Zhaun kept coming back with more for me to do. He brought back a pallet and wanted me to throw boxes away from that and then stack the pallet on some others that were back there, and then he brought back more boxes, and then he wanted me to put some pallets in the container, and then there were two pallets he wanted on the trailer. I was so upset and frustrated and behind and dairy looked awful and I needed to face it up before Bret got in that I just started crying. Then I remembered Victor's note, and I thought about him and how much I love him and how the other day at Wal-Mart he didn't want to wait for me to look through the mark down fabric and he just picked me up and started carrying me away (all in fun, he set me down and let me look). And I cheered up enough to not cry. Finally I opened the crusher and pulled out a few boxes and then got it closed enough to crush it. It crushed down a little ways but the boxes started pushing the grate out! So I had to stop it and bring it back up, which required me to stick the hole-puncher through into the grate to hold the button down so it would go up. And then I put more boxes in it and it wouldn't close so I had to push and push and Zhaun finally noticed and decided to help me. He got it crushed and then I opened it up and started poking holes. Which hurt my hands as it wouldn't poke. So I had to go back behind the baler and cut away at the cardboard enough for the hole-punch to poke through. Since we've been having trouble with our wires I had to tie double wires on four of the spots. And the wires barely got around the boxes sticking out at the top. Finally all that was done around 7:00. It took 40-45 minutes to make a bale. Thanks, Zhaun, next time throw your own boxes away.

The truck was supposed to be here at 8:00 and I was so upset and in a hurry and rushing. And then Zhaun came and told me to put carts on the trailer, as well as the pallets, but it wouldn't all fit so we had to cram carts in there and then close the door as much as we could. I wish he'd take care of his carts. He has an entire semi trailer full of carts of product that need to be marked down, put on sale, worked to the shelf, marked down, or something! Some of them are marked down already and I don't know why he doesn't pull those to the floor to sell them.

I pulled the shelves that I was supposed to put into the container outside. I don't know what they're for. They're silver and have weird stripes in them. And they look filthy. Zhaun doesn't know what they're for either but there's five pallets of them. They reset the soups today into weird black roller things. I wonder if that's a regular reset or part of the remodel. I know they were also working on stuff in aisle 19 and 10. As I was taking the pallets from the aisle they were on to outside I ran one into an endcap and it was kinda more diagonal than up and down after that and I knocked over a shipper. Oops... I straightened it as best I could. If anyone notices the bottom of the end cap is broken I'll blame it on the janitors. They're constantly running into endcaps with their scrubbers and I have complete confidence in everyone believing it was the janitors who did it.

Oh, then at 8 coke delivered a pallet of stuff.

And Bret was on the rampage today, so bad Zhaun warned me about it, which he needn't have done since I generally assume he's on the rampage anyway. It's safer that way, and it's usually correct to some degree. Some football thing started up and he was wearing a jail shirt (ok, referee shirt, but I say it looks like a prison outfit) and throwing a football around and acting all weird and he handed out more jail shirts to some other people. I'm glad he didn't try to give me one.

Bret called me to check and I got up there and no one needed it. But he angrily pointed me at one person with three items who could have easily been grabbed by the self scan person and taken down to self check out which was completely empty. Instead of wasting my time. And, btw, she was moments from laying her stuff on the belt and I wonder that she hadn't already, but I had to pull her out of line so the checker could stand on the line and wait for someone to check out.

Dustin came in at 11 today cause he's so special he can change his schedule from 2-8 to 11-7. Which will work out real well since deli/frozen won't be in till 6 or 7 cause he broke down in Idaho. So I left a half hour early and I'll go in a half hour early tomorrow. And I'll have to break down and work the entire load, as well as breaking down the milk load. Lovely! And on a Thursday, Deana always underschedules on Thursdays so I always have to check some.

And speaking of underscheduling, she decided on the first of the month, one of the busiest shopping days of the month, to schedule two checkers up till noonish or so. Sure, why not, you have dairy you can call to check.

So since neither grocery or deli/frozen had shown up by time Dustin came in I was worried cause I had three more hours to go and no idea what to spend my time doing. After rushing all morning I had to slow down suddenly. And then grocery showed up and deli/frozen called. And I did my order. And I told Dustin to put the shelves into the container.

Oh, and we have a CAO Audit at 4. I just hope Dustin actually pulls tags like I told him to. It's some woman who walks around and scans holes and we get in trouble for each one of them. Even if it's a warehouse issue and not something we can control.

And my ankle, the one I hurt last year or so ago I don't remember, it started hurting today. I don't think it ever fully healed. How could it? No injury I get can fully heal until after I get out of here. Except like cuts and bruises.


Moving
I'll be so happy when I'm out of here. So, so happy. I know time is clipping along fairly well, it's already been a month and a half since I decided to quit and move. But it's not going fast enough. I know there's still so much we have to do, and so much we have to plan for, but right now there's only so much we can really do. I intend to clean out a corner of the house to start putting things in, like the chainsaw and this big outdoor clock I found, and anything else we get. That way it doesn't pile up in random places throughout the house. I don't know if I'll get to that today cause I am still tired and hurty from making that bale. And I still have to make dinner at some point. Taco casserole, yum. And I only have the energy for that because it's what I really want for dinner.

Cats
Atton brought a bird in to show Bonecrusher how to hunt. *sigh* Victor managed to get all three of them shut in the bedroom. Atton batted feathers off the bird's wings so it couldn't fly well and Boney still had trouble with it but they managed eventually. Boney didn't really do a whole lot of killing on his own though.
