In Which Work Was Fun And Heart Attacky

What a day!
Hello dear Internet. How be you oh most glorious entity?
It is Friday.

Today was full on in many ways.
I was awoken at 9.05am by my manager asking if I could come in early because the other lady on had to go home sick. So my 4.30-9pm shift became 2-9pm. But that's ok, I don't mind. The money is good and I'm happy to help.
While awake I turned on my computer (Kyuubi) and plugged Ozmos in to charge. The promptly went back to sleep.
Woke up 12.00...should get up to get ready for work...fells back asleep. 12.30...ho crap. My bus leaves for work at 1.15.
So a rush around get up and out the door to catch the bus. All fine.

Got to work. Helped put out the new stock. Had my 4pm dinner (Peanut Satay Chicken on rice, mmm) and then my manager was off home after a long day :)
Did store stuff for a while, then the girl from Spice Traders came in to hang out. We had so much fun xD !!!
She's...lets see, about 7ish. We talked about all sorts of stuff while there was not customers, which was a lot today. Very quite.
Someone had left a My Little Pony toy from McDonalds in the store at some point through the day, and we made paper clothes for it. She then went off to see her parents for a little while and came back with two hot chocolates <3 I felt both guilty she's bought me a hot chocolate (with cream) and grateful because I was very thirsty. So we drank those, then played with a balloon (soccer and volley ball). I did do work as well of course, and stopped when we had customers. I'm a good honest worker, so I didn't neglect anything or anyone.
Then she went off again for a while and I did the vacuuming. When she came back she had a chocolate bar and let me have some <3

Eventually it was pre-closing up time and I was cashing up the spare till...and it all went ka-put blah.
The receipt printer was out of paper and I didn't notice. The computer didn't like that.
When I went to print out the end of day receipts and count-up it had a small fit and finished the process without me and without the needed receipts. Ho CRAP!
So I had to call the store manager and let her know. She said it was fine, just count up the cash manually and make notes. Easy, and all fine. But the damage was done. I was now behind my schedule. Closing the store and cashing up the main till went 5 mins over time, which is enough to make me miss my bus.
It's an hours wait for the last bus of the night if I miss my bus.

But I was saved!
Alysha from my old work saw me and rescued me! She had just finished as well and is now working in the same mall as me and she has a car <3 So she drove me home. Wonderful lady <3
We got to catch up in the car. He partner is still working in our old job, which it a horrible place to work. Poor boy. And I caught her up on all my news since I saw her last (while was a while ago) including my life shattering events. She wants to kill that thing too for hurting and betraying me :)

So I'm home earlier that usual on a closing shift night.
Thinking if I am hungry. I think I am. I think I'll have the last of the Peanut Satay Chicken.

All in all, the day was exiting and fun!
Even the cashing up drama. The store wasn't AS tidy as it could have been in my rush to catch the bus. But I'll apologise tomorrow when I go in.

So Good Morning / Day / Night Internet. Keep Sexy Awesome!

Dinner Ware Count in my room for tonight:
Still Two Glasses and a Gravy Thing
Three bowls
Two Bundaberg Bottles
Possibly more in a few minutes after I have dinner.

Love Danielle / Expecto Kiwiland <3
