Yesterday, I worked the late shift. Before leaving home for work, I introduced my puppy Chase to his new kennel and left him in it. Later, returning from work, I saw him still inside; Chase didn’t escape. Oh, Happy Day!
He must wait longer for me today because my schedule has more hours. I will face a bummer: the store’s new hours are effective today; it will open and close one hour earlier. I won’t find it easy to clock in an hour earlier; there’s much to do at home first.
I’ll try to accommodate the change. On a bright note, I won’t have to worry about my puppy escaping and roaming. However, ahead for a couple of days, my schedule shows me arriving to work TWO hours earlier than usual. I’ve no idea why and am hoping the scheduler made a mistake.
The store has been quiet. Coworkers tell me to expect Black Friday to start a business boom that lasts until Christmas. Over my year at the store, I have learned to expect shopping spurts during popular partying and traveling times. The last Christmas season was busy and successful for our store which must repeat that this year.
Dear Friends: I’m already running late; “So much to do, so little time.” Diana
