Today is SOOOOOO slow



Recommended Posts

We only had x-mas day off, but since 99% of our customers are closed on Monday, they decided we're closed Monday & Tuesday. But in reality all our customers are closed today too.

So I decided we're leaving here at 3, 2 hours early.. but IT IS SO SLOW!!!

I've had 2 phone calls, from an employee that was lost on a backroad, and a customer wanting a turn time. That's it. I'm so bored I can't take it. Normally I am swamped with work and the days go by, so on top of anticipating a 4-day weekend, I just can't make this day go by. 2 more hours.. of.. nothing. I brought a book I'm reading to work, but only have 15 pages left...

Anyone else bored as hell at work?! :faint:

Yes, it is dead here too. I am heading out and gone until January 2, 2008.. Yeah, I can't wait. I am bummed that I'm not going to Texas and Mexico, but I'm going to make the most of it. Well, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care.

Yeah, I'm bored. Our boss (who happens also to be my mom) has said she's going to let us go around 1 or 2. The whole week has been slow-ish for me because I've been relatively caught up at work anyway...

Ouch losing.. you win. I thought my bosses were scrooges not giving us monday off (initially)..

Then again, my dad is making me go to the mall with him, and there's all those poor people that are working there.. I sympathize kind of.. I worked at Hobby Lobby during the holidays when I was younger.. Hobby Lobby with their antique cash registers where you have to key everything in, and refunds have to be written out on paper.. and the elderly women who are returning $.01 items by the handfuls during the Christmas sale.. I digress.

Maybe this hour won't be too bad LOL! (55 minutes!) I am going to go check out pogo

But we're having a brunch/breakfast potluck, so it's all good! ;)

The benefits of working in a tourist town...I am very busy. LOL Tons of people here for Christmas. No - I'm not bored. Kind of wish I was. All these out-of-towners need to go home. BAD drivers and people who think the whole town is a pedestrian mall. ;) I'll trade ya.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
