Today was a day like no other and I'm sorry, but I have to type it all out. The day started out not too bad, but then I spent 20 minutes at the bank in drive-up. Then I punched into work late because of that and I had to use the restroom (which at 9:30am was my one and only time to go till 5:30pm since I was all alone at work all day in the middle of a mall).

I had my first shipment come in today and got totally frazzled. I was surrounded by stock and didn't remember from training on what to do. Then I worried about sales, it was really slow and we weren't making goal. I put some stuff away (paperwork) and got hyper because in a kiosk it is very small.

The home office sent out a new listing for all the stores and the new managers - they spelled my name wrong. My business cards didn't come in and my first paycheck was about $200 less than I am used to.

I had to work till 5:30pm and still needed to get to the bank and deposit my check before they closed at 6. I forgot to punch out since a customer came in before I could leave. I got to the bank with only 5 minutes to spare. I was supposed to pay a loan today but they closed at 6pm (I'm about 40 minutes away from them distance wise).

I start home and I'm on the interstate. My low fuel light comes on and I begin to panic even more because I'm in the middle of nowhere. By now I am completely stressed. I barely make it to the gas station, where they have no unleaded gasoline, only premium. My credit card won't work so I beg them to take a check.

I get home and after not eating all day, I order pizza. It runs over the time it's supposed to and everyone is starving. After dinner I check my bank balance online and discover why my card wouldn't work - it says my available balance is overdrawn.

I call the bank, and they say it should be cleared up by 7am tomorrow. Hopefully no overdraft charges. Then to top everything off, I get Aunt Flo after starting menopause (it has been gone for 8 months now).

I can't face tomorrow.
