It should be a calm day for you on the job. You'll likely get what you need from people if you use a gentle approach. You're probably in a happy mood, so it's a good day to socialize with people. Enjoy your leisure by doing something artistic, perhaps playing a musical instrument.
Not sure about the "calm" part, but today was certainly interesting at work. Due to the gigantic ice storm we're having right now we closed down early, and before that the new manager (named Adam, not to be confused with The Chump who also happens to be named Adam) the new big guy Cody and I had to clean out the pits. That is not a fun job, and involves moving a lot of water and mud and trying to keep from falling into them. Through most of that I felt rather useless since, due to my lack of upper body strength compared to the two guys, I couldn't do as much as quick.
When we finally got the call to close down I went and closed up shop rather than do the pits, and WD-40ed the hell out of the overhead door that we've been having trouble with, by which I mean I can get all 150 pounds of my weight on it and it still won't close. I think I managed to do something with that, so hopefully it'll be easier to deal with now.
After I was done with that I went back out to Cody and Adam (still doing the pits) and told them that I'd taken care of that, and they were thankful. They told me that I could leave at that point, and Adam actually thanked me for trying to help the two of them out even though I couldn't really do much, since The Chump wouldn't even do that. So that made me feel good and like I had actually done something to help them out.
Once I got out I cashed my paychecks from yesterday and made my way (very slowly) home. I couldn't help but be flabbergasted by the road crews in our town, since when I crossed the town line I went from all-sanded and clear roads to ones that hadn't even been touched, and as of yet there's no sign of the sand trucks. HELLO?! But at least I had the snow tires, so that made it easier, but still... what are those guys doing?
But luckily I don't have to go anywhere until tomorrow. *huddles under blanket* Welcome to New England...
