A Snail's Pace

  I hate the work days that just...drag on.

Especially when you go into work expecting time to pass by quickly.

And instead...it feels like time is creeping on at a snails pace. 

It's the worst feeling.

Especially because most of this week has been like...slow dead. So we've had time to do all these tasks and such.

And yet today...a Saturday....it still felt slow.

Even though we were busy. Like there was a constant need for a back up cashier. Constant need for two people in pet care to take care of customers wanting to buy pets.

We were busy.

And yet time was passing soooooo slowly. An hour would go by and it would feel like 3 hours.

It was annoying.

I was alternating between being bored out of my mind trying to find something to do that would make time pass by faster and running around like my head was cut off because it seemed like I was the only one who was available to dart around the store to help customers.

As it seemed like everytime a cry came up of someone needing help at cats, at guinea pigs, at fish, as a back up cashier...I ended up being the one who made the time to go see everyone.

As everyone else always seemed to be bogged down with customers that would take ten minutes or so to help.

*exhales*

It was especially frustrating when the call would come up that a customer needed assistance somewhere and all of us in the store would be busy. Two of us cashiering. Two of us at the fish wall. No one else to help and the customer would be constantly giving us looks or another coworker would be like "Have we helped this person out yet?"

NO.

We've been busy. *exhales* 

It felt like no matter what choice I made to try and help things move faster it ended up being the wrong choice as someone else would need help elsewhere like two minutes later.

So. 

Frustrating.

Especially because all this chaos was happening...and yet time was still moving at a snails pace.

So glad to have tomorrow off because Gah. I need a break from work.

Until you next find these words;
I'll be watching the leaves. 
Enjoy the day!
