So many things happened yesterday, I am not even sure where to begin.

My shift was to be a weird 2pm-10pm shift. I was switched for Diva Dos as he was to run the lunch shift, and become an official manager. No big deal, except I really wanted to bea part of that, and help him make the right choices.

The boss had left out of the house early to catch a 9am meeting at the Mill Creek store. She was told to stop by Canyon Park and borrow bags. She did not have time, and the meeting was too important and just could not be late. One other salaried manager from our store was to attend, so she delegated that task to her, for after the meeting.

She was told the previous night, that the signage was completed, taking down a nugget promotion, putting up Monopoly stuff, and a price change on some menu strips. After the metting, she needed to stop by an office supply store, and get some copies and laminating done. This made the supervisor get to our store prior to her. She then got a call from the supe, saying the signage was NOT DONE. SHe called me, for lack of knowing whom else to cry to. And she was...in tears...I calmy told her that it did not sound like TZ in the least to say she was going to do something, and not get it done. That would have been a first. Turns out, we had contruction guys at the store, and she had no access to the signs in question, but she had them ready to go up,a nd had told the manager on duty where they went, and to do it. Yeah....right. That other manager is too busy cleaning everything in sight to do much of anything.

So anyway, I tell the boss that I can be there in 15 minutes, which put me to work at 11:30, instead of 2:00.

I helped get signs up (I really didn't do much) and assisted Diva Dos through lunch. He was of course fabulous, and is now 'certified'! YAY!

Then a bit later, the boss was standing there at the front counter, with her laptop, getting some info for a project of mine, when who in the world walks up to her, with a balloon, and a hand-written card? Yeah, her husband, whom had been in Texas the day before, had driven the whole way back to Seattle, in hopes of reconciling their marriage. I let her chose what she wanted to do, and she went outside with him. I kept my eyes on them, since I really do not know him, but she swears to me that he has never once layed a harmful hand on her, so I figured she was at least physically safe. She says he tried to kiss her, but she pushed him off, and stated firmly it was over. He finally left, heading to her moms to see their boys. Mom told him it was okay enough for him to stay with them for a while. OMG? What are wrong with those people? At least pay your daughter enough respect to not let him hone in on the kids. After this insepction on THursday, she will spend all day Friday, looking for housing in this area, getting her back under the same roof with them, without Daddy.

AS I was consoling her, my phone rings. SInce she is nearly the only person who ever calls me, I looked at it. IT said my brothers name, and I never get a call from him, so I took it. He says our youngest sister had just called him leaving a voice mail, stating that I had crashed my motorcycle. He was worried about me. That was nice and all, but when we got to his health and such, he threw a bombshell at me. He had a heart attack, just the other day. WHATWHAT? One of my siblings is NOT A MERE MORTAL? I was crushed, and started to cry...I then get hit with other siblings calling, and e-mails, that I just have not got the hang of yet with my new phone.

My shift was over at 10pm, yet me, the boss, TZ, and Diva Dos all were there, to have a 'work party', getting final preperations for Thursday. Our party ended at 3:30am. I was exhausted, and probably still am.

I am a sucker for helping others, and I have commited to watching the three boys while the boss works on Saturday, as she is picking them up Friday after school, and refuses to change her plans due to the father being there. He will have had two days with them, and she only gets precious days off, Friday which they attend school, and then Sunday.

Wow, I wrote novel...okay, so I am not a real writer, but you get the jest...gotta run.Sorry once a gain, I am not proof reading ,nor correcting anything. get over it.
