As we all know, I did not sleep very well last night. I was actually up all night, and only got a total of 2 1/2 hours of winks. I basically gave up, and showered to get ready for work. This was at 4AM.
I went to work at 5:30AM, and Holy Stephen Sondheim, was I busy! Not only did I have to drag my ass all over the store, but I had so many problems with the cashiers and their customers. I spent all morning going from one register to the next to approve markdowns, explain customers our policies, and to void transactions. Not only that, but the manager also bombed me with piles of paperwork to do. Thankfully, Charity told me she would take care of the paperwork while I work with the cashiers and the customers. However, my patience ran out. I was tired, ready to go home, and really did not want to deal with any kind of drama. Luckily, 12:30PM rolled along and I went home.
I spent the next hour and a half or so getting last minute things together. As I was leaving Merritt Island, I got a text from one of my friends saying that our plan had changed. So here I was, about to go on a journey of the unknown. I don't know Orlando that well, and I was TERRIFIED. I was afraid I was going to get lost or end up in a crash. Immediately, I got off from University Blvd. to Hall Road. Along the way, I decided to pull over to text my friend and ask him for the complete direction. That's when I realize that there is something wrong. I had a flat tire! Apparently, I had been driving with a tire that had a nail pierced into it.
My friend decided to come by and take a look at it, and suggested we get it fixed ASAP. Luckily, it was punctured in a good way, so my tire did not have to be replaced. We got it fixed in 2 hours time, and then went to the friend's brother's house.
We waited for another friend who was driving up from West Palm Beach. He did not get in until 8:30.
Obviously, all of our plans were going out of whack. We expected to check in the hotel no later than 9PM, which we didn't do until 11PM. How insane.
But I am so glad to be here. I feel very relieved to be with friends and just to kick back & relax. Tomorrow will be a long day, too, but I am certain we will have fun and make the best of it!
