Welcome Back

Wouldn't you know - the week I start back at work would be the week of inventory.

This week's schedule has felt like an initiation. (Or maybe hazing would be the right word.) Late night's followed by early, early mornings.

Valentines was a bit of a joke - hubby's schedule was just as cruel, but opposite of mine. We haven't seen each other in 3 days.

Ships that pass in the night...

I guess I knew that going in - that's what Christmas was like too.

It's a job though, and I have been happier with work to do.

Inventory is today, we've been preparing for the last 2 days, and the store was perfect this morning. I have never seen the place so clean!

The team of auditors descended on us like a swarm of locusts, in their matching maroon shirts, and not a smile to be had among them.

The only thing was, I couldn't figure out why I was there.
While the auditors are in the store, we are not allowed to even touch anything in our department. All I could do was pace the floor and look at it...

My managers were baffled at why they scheduled me so early too - they sent me home after a couple of hours. I finally got that sleep I haven't had all week.

Now to tackle that kitchen that hasn't been cleaned all week...

Ugh.
