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.

((((((((((Mary Alice)))))))) I've had days like that too, where everything just piles up, one on top of the next. They definitely stink. I hope your bank clears stuff up for you. Mine erred and wouldn't fix it and now I'm in deep weeds because of it. Time to start keeping the money in the mattress, I think.

I hope today was better for you!

Awww, sounds like you had a very bad day. Maybe set a day when you just do nothing, relax in a bath, settle down on thje sofa wathing TV or reading a book?

How was today? Hope it went well for you.

Thank you, everyone for your replies and support.

Nothing could compare to yesterday, that's for sure. Today I made a decision about one of my employees that aggravates me no end. I'm going to cut down his hours to part-time because he is constantly telling me how things "are" at my store (never mind that I have taken over now and things need to be "my" way) but "it's your ship and you can do what you want.....however, we've always done......."

I'm going to talk to my supervisor Monday about him. Otherwise, my card worked this morning and I was able to get gasoline....lol. Just glad I am off tomorrow before I go at it again.

Calgon........where are you? Thanks again everyone for caring and letting me get rid of some stress.
