Saturday, January 18 – Sunday, January 19

Saturday was a nine-hour workday at the Major Home Improvement Retailer.  My flu was still bothering me, but as I headed into work I was hoping that the day would be easy enough that I’d get through the shift reasonably intact.  For the most part, this is what actually happened.  My regular workload wasn’t too heavy, and I spent some time doing regular customer-service sort of stuff around the business.  I’ve been there long enough that I can help customers find things, most of the time at least.
The last couple of hours, however, were completely different. I had to deal with a couple of difficult and time-consuming tasks that left me pretty much drained.  Not to mention having more coughing fits.  Somehow I made it through the shift, and it was very fortunate that I had nothing much to do on Sunday.
