So the last few days of work have been somewhat stressful. Our manager was taking classes, so I was in charge for 3 days, and then day number four we had inventory. Maybe that explains my inability to think things through.
On this day, I was coming back from lunch about 1:30. I’m thinking about what I have to do before I go; the shift change is occurring in half an hour, we have chickens on sale so I need to remind the night crew to do voycalls and keep the case full, blah, blah, blah. When I get to the time clock, I notice I’ve gone 3 minutes over on my lunch. No big deal. Off to work I go.
4:00 comes, my shift is over, and I go to clock out. Except I can’t. The clock informs me that I’m still on my lunch break. Damn it! I stood in front of the time clock and forgot to punch out of lunch. So I clock out of lunch and go to customer service to get a time exception sheet. Get that filled out, turn it in, and go home.
Next morning, I come in, get my stuff out of my locker. Clock in. And the clock informs me that I’m already clocked in. Aaaarrrgggghhhh! R______, the bakery manger, comes up behind me as I smack my forehead against the time clock.
R: Sweetie, what’s wrong?
Me: (waves arms wildly) Yesterday I forgot to clock in from lunch, and I tried to clock out but couldn’t ,so I had to fill out a time sheet and then I came in this morning and I forgot to clock out yesterday, and now it won’t let me clock in and now I have to go fill out another time sheet! (Takes a deep breath, turns to go to customer service).
R: Um, maybe you should clock out now? Then you can clock in?
Me: Duh! (Smacks self in forehead).
The store director came by later to tell me he had gotten it fixed. I swear he was smirking at me.
