I don't get to blog enough

I think it's more because there's nothing going on rather than I don't have the time. I mean, I don't have much time and I'm never on my computer, but that's not a great excuse. I make time for what I want to do. More than time, my life is pretty damn boring. Which is good I guess, considering when I wrote the most was when my life was in turmoil or I was engrossed in the pokers.

Couple things happened at work over the past week. On last saturday, we had our Customer Appreciation Day. Basically, $3.99 med pizzas all day, as well as discounts on wings, and breadsticks. It was a huge success and we got so much marketing material out the weeks before. I was dead afterward and my entire body sore. We did over double what we usually do in sales and had my biggest personal sales day ever at 2500$. We usually do about 60 medium pizzas on a regular saturday, well for this we did 346 total. Not to mention all the breadstix and wings. It was so busy my wife helped me out and worked for free answering phones all night. It was a huge help, because we ended up being short staffed. I had no way to fully prepare for the madness that it was. Now that I have a floor to go by and an idea of what it takes to get to that point, I know next time will be bigger and better.

On Thursday, during school lunch I lost my cool a little bit. I'm not much of a yeller but, there are times that I'm due for a good meltdown. New guy, whose name is Josh, but we call DJ. (there are two josh's and my AM bryan last week said "whenever Dumb josh gets back lets get him out of here." I said, sweet his new name is DJ. So when he got back I called him DJ and he's like "what's the D for" quickly I thought and said "Driver Josh." Great inside joke for us now) Anyways, DJ is the slowest and possibly the least common sensical (word?) person I've ever met. During school lunch we are on a very tight schedule. We are limited in our heat wave bags, that we carry food in. Anyways, he takes forever on his delivery and then ends up calling me about a pizza remake from the SCHOOLS phone. He has a cell phone. Also, another driver didn't show up for his shift so we were already on the verge of disaster. School lunch is a huge client and we cannot F that order up. So, I end up having to take a full delivery to a school with NO heatwave bags and no way of keeping the pizzas as hot as possible. We are obligated to get the food to the school at a certain temp and potentially we'd have to totally remake the order if we dont do it. So, I take it and the lunch ladies are giving me the evil eye. I kind of jumped the gun and mentioned the whole temp thing so that they didn't think I was trying to pull one on them.

I guess the temps were fine cus they took the pizzas. But, when I got back I laid into DJ a little bit. I told him from across the room that in situations like that he needed to be in his truck, on his cell, on his way back telling me about that. We dont have time for him looking around for their phone and taking forever on deliveries. I threw a few things said a few curse words and chilled in my office for a few minutes. I was pissed. Worst of all my boss was there and a few other workers. But, all my working up ended up for naught. We got everything out on time with NO complaints. It was a success. But, like I said sometimes you just gotta get a good yell in. This dude is on the his last leg with me, that's for sure.

I was yelling about some stuff yesterday during work too. It was mostly a joke though, but I played it off as real for awhile. A few of the drivers took it seriously and seemed concerned. It's good to show them that I'm a little crazy I think. Keep everyone on their toes and let em know whose in charge still. Makes things fun.

Anyways, Money still hasn't come and like before after the court date we are dieing a little every time we check the mail and there's nothing there. Someday... right?
