I'm so bored!!

[SG15Z]

I've been here at work since 10 am in a tent in the store parking lot. The tent is suppose to be some convienient flower place for vday. So I'm here gaurding flowers and a register bored out of my skull!

I've only had 1 customer so far. 1 customer. At like 1030! And none since! Ug and I still have 2 1/2 hours left! Someone kill me please! I'm going nuts out here. Gods I have to do this tomorrow too! I use to think graveyard at the registers were bad but boy was I wrong.

At least we actually get customers in there! I mean come on who's gonna go to Kroger at 3am on Feb 13 for Flowers. I know, NO ONE! Maybe tomorrow we'll have people at this ungodly hour but not today. *sigh* Thank God I can surf the interwebnetz on my phone or I'm sure I would have fallen asleep by now.

Come on 6am!!!

ETA:
Crap now its raining!

SG, welcome to my job... I go AT LEAST 4 hours a day with no other human contact... small hotel, only person on the clock... oh yeah, this place and instant messenger *glares at all the cs friends who haven't been on messenger recently, yes RHPG, that does also mean you ) are my lifeline... seroiusly, I don't do well with this whole being alone thing (I think it has to do with being an only child... I spent 18 years alone, then after a year in the dorms constantly having others around it kind of became addicting)... oh, movies help too

and sorry, didn't mean to thread jack... today it was 5 hours with no human contact... Smiley is not all with it right now.

I guess I'm the exact opposite of you guys. I love my alone time. For the last couple of years, I've barely had time that I'm truly alone, except for the commute to/from work. Give me a good book and as many hours alone as I can get and I'm just peachy keen.

Sorry you're trapped in a tent, though. Why would that even be open at 3:00 AM? Just close it all down until morning.

I feel exactly the same way, especially since I had kids. I love them to pieces and usually look forward to seeing them, but sometimes I really need a day off from everything.

Smiley, I went 6 1/2 hours with no customers. I would say no human contact but a local cop came by a couple times to check up on me. After all it would suck if I was robbed.

Because the only way to secure all that merchandise (plus two registers) is to haul it all back inside which would be a pain and take too long, plus they have to take it all back out in the morning, so they figure just leave a cashier out there to keep an eye on the stuff and ring people up if they actually come out so early.

I might actually get some customers tonight, you know last minute BFs/husbands/etc. But still! I'd rather be inside because you only go 2 hours without customers instead of 6! I mean I had like 3 customers that whole shift. At least inside I would have 10x that amount.

Oh well I had a book to pass the time as well and I'm thinking of just taking a tv tonight and hooking up my Wii to add more entertainment to make the time go by. I just wish more of my IM buddies would get on at night.
