Wasn't schedualed to work till 5pm yesterday so didn't care when I had insomnia. Got 0 hours of sleep for the night. 9:12 am, asst. manager calls. "I love you! Please cover taco bell!" (haven't had this line in a few weeks) Say "YEAH! Day shift alright!" I rarely ever get day shifts. Apparently I'm not importent enough for them ....but thats another post. Anyways I live a good distence away from work but still manage to get there 15 mins before I was supposed to . Learn that the tills aren't working. They weren't for the last bit of last night either but they wait until 20 minuets AFTER we open to call the service guys AND to close the lobby. We could theoretically still ring in the order just wouldn't show up on the screen and wouldn't print a ticket. So we kick everybody out of lobby and keep Drive-thru open...they just yell what they want back and I make it.....then had a bright idea to put head set on. Taco bell got a lot quicker . And because we had nobody in lobby I got all my prep done in an hour. Owner pops in to tinker with the tills. Sees me with sucker on my forehead and goes in for the kill. "Hey FemmeAnime, can you pull a double today? We're going to be real short-staffed." Was feeling good, still riding high on sleep dep, cramps kept at bay with the glorious prize that is Midol, going on my break (around 1 pm now) to eat breakfast. All's well witht he world. Why not? Not even really sure if anyone beside the assit manager even thanked me (she only did after I called her back and I said I'd come in early) that I was covering someone elses shift and my own shift now. So going across the parking lot don't know if I want yummy noodly soup from the grocery store or sushi (go there so much they know me on sight and start making the veggie tempura rolls ) Calling my dad, middle of talking to him telling him no need to pick me up at 5 was going to stay later when relize still need to cache my paycheque and get a replacement debit card. Get to the bank and apparently I'm too people? Teller/ manager person makes joke about having a twin. I do have a twin. She seems shocked. Takes 40 mins of my 30 mins break to get it sorted out but still riding on high on the sleep dep. Few hours after break tills are back up. By 6 o'clock or so STILL haven't eaten since my dinner break around 8/9 pm the night before....am STARVING now. Contemplating stealing a scoop or two of beans (I'm a veggie). When the wonderful woman that is Taco Beller wizard give me an almond butter gornola bar. *glomp!!* Try not kill myself while stuffing it down my gob. Mmmhhhh....almonds. Spent the rest of the night trying not to keel over and not act as loopy as I feel and how the other double-shift pullers are behaving. Fast forward another few hours. Hour eleven, only that one break with a grand total of 20 mins (if that!) of not being on my feet. Gotten really loopy now, perment leaning to one side and feeling like I'm gonna faint at any moment. They ask one of the girls already on shift to close lobby (my shift) so I can go home. Just covering Drive-thru during a break then HOME! BED!! FOOD!! Rush hits....stay a few minuets more passing a salad over to the counter when one of my favorite people grabbs it out of my hands and tells me to go home! Look to in-charge tells me to get lost. Tries not bump into things while getting my stuff to leave. Am now walking around like I'm drunk. STILL haven't had any sleep. Have now been up for almost TWO AND A HALF DAYS STRAIGHT. They call me in early again I told my parents to tell them to "screw off!"

Ooooh... sleep dep stream of consciousness posting!
I tend to highlight words as I wade through so that I don't lose my place.
I once, in the same manner, wrote a post about that length that was all a single sentence.

The only thing better than a sleep dep. stream of consciousness posting is someone doing a drunken posting. Just reading each post you can actually see them getting drunker and drunker.
Bonus points are given when they post the next day and have absolutely no recollection of posting their drunken rants and freak when they start reading them.I'm tolerant of everyone and everything except for assholes. - Mongo Skruddgemire

The only thing better than drunken posting is READING a Sleep-Dep SoC post when you're sleep deprived yourself. It's actually UNDERSTANDABLE!
