From 21 to 37 and 3 in 1 day

This past week I had the opportunity to sit in class for approximately 25 hours. :) ¬† I was taking the winter interim which was “Life of Christ.”¬† Pastor Kirkland was my teacher… and let me just say he did an awesome job.¬† When I got to class Monday morning I ¬†realized that I was going to be the only girl in the class.¬† Our homework was to read all four Gospels during the week¬†and write a research¬†paper (thankfully it‚Äôs not due until March).¬† I am kind of excited about writing this paper.¬† It is an 8 pg paper comparing and contrasting Jesus to any religious leader.¬† I have decided to do my paper on Mother Teresa.¬† Although this was only a one week long class I still had to take a mid-term and a final.¬† My mid-term was an essay, so I’m not sure how I did on that.¬† My final was a typical Kirkland test… I only missed three questions.¬† :D

Alright now that I have discussed my academic life, I am going to discuss my work life.¬† After a wonderful 3.5 week vacation I went back to work on Monday.¬† My second person didn’t show up… so I found a replacement. Course when you get someone to close who does not normally close you end up staying at work later than you would like.¬† The schedule for the next week (Jan 7-13) was already up ¬†so I wrote down when I was supposed to work.¬† Somehow I ended up having Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off leaving me with only 21 hours of work.¬† On Tuesday I get called in two hours early and when I get to work and glance at the schedule… 29 hours.¬† I was now scheduled for Monday.¬† Thursday morning I am sitting in class, I glanced down at my phone and noticed that my manager texted me…. she wanted me to work Saturday.¬† So there you have it.¬† 37 hours.¬† But wait that is not the end of my story. :)

So today was supposed to be one of my days off, but I ended up covering another person’s shift.¬† Well around 1 pm my manager texts me and says that the store is out of spinach and that I need to pick some up on my way to work.¬† Well, she had already called South Pomona and they didn’t have any so I needed to call La Verne and see if they had some we could borrow.¬† Well, I called La Verne and they didn’t have any, so I called Claremont and they didn’t have any to spare either; next I called San Dimas… they had some.¬† So I hastily got ready for work and drove to San Dimas and picked up spinach.¬† I got to work and… well… it was work.¬† But still my story is not done….¬† My third person was there when I arrived, and my second was supposed to get there at 5.¬† As the day goes on I notice that we are in danger of running out of napkins, so I call South Pomona and arrange to pick it up later that evening.¬† Around 4 I get a phone call from my second saying she was going to be a little late.¬† My Second got to work around 6 and as soon at possible I ran my errand to yet another Subway.¬† So there you have it: from 21 to 37 and 3 in 1 day
