As The Station Turns 8/2

 When I got to work Mrs. Late Guy was complaining about the frozen coffee. It seems someone put French Vanilla in the Mocha machine. I'm pretty sure that only her and the Manager have access to the mixes so.... She had to empty the machine, dump the already mixed stuff into the right machine and then make a new mix for the Mocha side. At least I'm blame free because I don't touch those things. The #5 pump had been working but once again wouldn't turn on. Does it just hate me or something? I figured it out, in the afternoon the sun shifts past the canopy and shines directly upon it, the rest of the time it's either in the shade or it's night, but it warms up during the afternoon. Something must be loose or only slightly broken, when it heats up it expands and separates. Once the sun goes down it cools off and makes contact again. But it worked on my day off, how could that be? Then I remembered that it rained all day and the sun was behind the clouds. The Boss do...

As The Station Turns 8/1

Welcome to Hell Week I had two full days off, in a row. It was a miracle, however I am going to have to work 7 days including two back to back double shifts, since the Manager is taking a week off and there's nobody who can cover her shifts. I said this before and I'll say it again, I'm waiting to see what happens towards the end of this year and then may make a major change of plans.  My original weekend plan was to get a lot of stuff done on Thursday and then go visit the Late Guy on Friday, since I hadn't been there in a while. However I slept in on Thursday so I started the day behind and didn't get stuff done at the first of the day. In the end I went to see the Weekend Guy on Thursday morning and then spent the rest of the day doing stuff house, since Hell Week was coming up. On Friday it rained first thing in the morning so once again I put off going to see the Late Guy and hearing all his complaints. I went to do my big job of the morning and it took longer ...
