First Night of 4-Midnight Fun

Although it used to really bother me, working the evening shifts at Bakers do have its perks. I think the first time I was scheduled to "close' the store was back when I was a senior in high school, or should I say the summer after. Granted I was just a cashier and really didn't have to do anything it was kind of eerie. I had exclusively worked the day for 3 years before my first closing shift and seeing the store empty and darkened is truly creepy the first time out.

However now I could really care less. I get about 7 hours (although I'm scheduled until Midnight we're allowed to leave anytime after the till exchange at 11:20...and I have to clock out for a half an hour lunch) and I really don't have to do much. Sure it's really busy when I first get there which is nice, it makes the first half of the shift go by really fast. Then the rest of pretty much just behind the scenes, administrative kind of work. I clean, get things ready for the next day, restock all the registers with needed supplies (such as register tape, bags, pens, Bakers cards, etc.) and then overall just hang out.

Although I do prefer working day still because of the constant interaction with people that I'd have, the evening shifts still allow me to have a life during the day and then get a full shift in for the evening.

Things have been kind of bust recently, we're getting the house all ready for Cecily's upcoming graduation, next week is Hebron trip with Brady and then the week after is the Epic Nebraska road trip. I'm really pumped for everything going on and love it.

Unfortunately I didn't have any real exciting customers last night. I did get to work with some people that I usually don't work with and needless to say it was fun. It was fun to reminesce about the trashiness which Bakers is at times. For example, yesterday I got "written up" for missing work 3 times in the past 18 months (I called in sick twice last summer and once last Friday so that's a total of 3.) and then at the same time got a raise. Weird? Oh well...

Needless to say if you're bored come in and visit me tonight at Bakers. I'll be the one wearing the unflattering black on black uniform and vest that obnoxiously has "Customer Service 1st" embroidered on it...
