On my feet today. It's not a record - that currently stands at 11.45 hours - but it's long enough. I listed only one thing on eBay, then spent the rest of the day managing the shop. I do enjoy my job; I really do. I am just so wiped at the end of the day that all I want to do is come home, take a bath, and go to bed. I'm exhausted.
But it's a "good" exhaustion, you know? I mean, I like being productive and making sales and meeting new people and even dealing with irritated customers. In fact, I think I may actually be pretty good at dealing with grouches - I've noticed lately that the madder they get, the calmer I get. That is totally not my personality, LOL, so I don't know what's going on, but I am thankful for it.
Today I had the following going on at one time:
- One annoyed customer on the phone
- One annoyed customer near the register
- Me trying to ring up another customer's items
- A child pulling over a large mirror
- Three customers trying to get my attention for "just one quick question"
Somehow I handled it all. All by myself. And without losing my cool. I'm kinda proud of that.
In other news, Ry's bus came ten minutes early this morning. Naturally he was not out yet, so he missed it. I swear, I think I have bus driver issues EVERY year. I'm just waiting for the fun day when I get to deal with the bitches in the front office.
Dang, thinking about them killed my good mood. I think I'll go soak my feet now and revel in the warm bubbly water.
Toodles!
