Hideous depression.
I recently found a song that completely describes my thoughts on the matter:
I wanna get better.
[big sigh] Failing that, I tossed and turned all night. Woke up at 2 AM for a delivery that never came. Did what I could of my God Time (got the rest before I got online). Torbie slept with me and woke me up a couple times snoring.
Man, that cat can snore!
I went to work totally depleted and worried about half a dozen things I couldn't fix. We saw the other vendor, he's been amicable. I told him I'm looking forward to his new breakroom to take some of the load off, and I meant it. He laughed.
We worked 13 hours today.
Highlight of the day: pouring the French Vanilla powder into the wrong canister on the coffee vending machine. Ugh. Once it's in you can't get it out. Very frustrating.
I did get plenty of whole beans (everyone likes our whole bean coffee), and added some grounds to the hopper.
As I was stocking in the later afternoon, I came around a corner and saw the cranky customer frowning as she shoveled coins into the cold food vending machine. I hid.
[laugh] One of the other employees saw me, looked, and looked back at me, grinning. Pretty funny. Best of all, she didn't blow my cover as I hid behind the other vendor's unplugged cold food vending machine.
Not so fun when we came in though. Both food machines were down and I had to throw away all the perishable food therein. Having almost died of food poisoning back in 2004, I am adamant about food safety.
We lost about $15 (wholesale) inventory. Not horrific. I fixed that. I fixed the bottled vendor which had been naughty. I stocked everything and helped Ron stock canned sodas. Ron is impressed and appreciative.
I stocked what I could for snacks. They were pretty slow. I suspect power was out for a long while this weekend.
I paid some refunds. Good. I want people walking away happy. I give them a choice between product or cash. Most times they take the product.
I was working hard. I'm exhausted. I didn't have problems with the depression while I was working. Not really, other than the anxiety.
Dr Pepper came, for the other vendor. They swear we'll get our stuff on Wednesday. Agh. Get up at 2 AM two days in a week. Ugh.
Sandwiches came. He's a nice guy. I stocked most of them but held some back for later this week.
Then we went to the warehouse, where I got the coffee supplies, cold food (more burritos and frozen sandwiches - the freezer was OK). If something thaws out and refreezes you'll see ice crystals. I didn't, and the temperatures were in the proper range.
I also got some candy. I stocked it all.
Pretty soon it's time to go and it's pouring. Ron and I prayed and the rain passed. By the time our ride arrived, it was clear.
Thank you Jesus.
