Not so great days at my shop. My driver quit with a message to my cell phone 10 days ago. After calling in sick here and there, and just enough to get me behind.
I have scrambled all last week and put in 70 hours just trying to get caught up. New driver started yesterday, and I fired him last night. Hated to do it but it was a complete waste of time. Three applicants from the unemployment office, two whose ph#'s aren't working. One lives to far away and I don't need "I can't get to work in the snow" issues.
NASTY customer on phone, late yesterday afternoon. We couldn't agree on delivery times and he lives way too far out to send an empty van out to hell's half acre for $7.00 delivery. He knows he lives too far out, and he was mean on the phone. Would not agree to a delivery later in the week, on and on.
After he hung up on me, I called back in my nicest voice and said if we could not make acceptable arrangements in one hour I would be happy to cancel the order. His wife called and said they would be in today to pick it up. ... I can hardly wait.
After it became evident that my driver had issues, I called my husband to help and he did but we ended up in a fight. Fa la la la.
My home needs my attention. My shopping is not done. I am falling further behind. Christmas obligations are piling up and I am the sentimental one who wants it all to go perfectly and not have anyone miss out on anything. Missed my families little dinner party Saturday(but sent flowers!) and was late to my husband's work party after that.
My father in law is on his yearly mission to ruin Christmas for the family, and I ususally to to fix this with a sunny attiude and some holiday intervention, but I am running out of patience.
My accountant needs paperwork from me, and I can't find the three hours need to get it together.
My employees think early is 9:30. And I might change my name today, just so I don't have to hear it all day. Can someone just make a decision, please?
On the upside it's a new day, my best friend's son is driving today. I do have help for the weekend with deliveries and it's the best kind - free. And there is 24 more hours in any given day, I guess I'll do that paperwork to the hum of the washer in dryer, after my son's chorus concert tonight. Better days ahead, I'm sure. Just needed to vent.
