Credit Card Collapse

Well today was an interesting day. After a turbulent final few hours I woke up from my slumber with my alarm at 10 O'Clock this morning. I got ready for work, and then off I went.

Work today was a challenge. As the first weekday with north store prep was thrown into full gear we had some changes to contend with of our own at the south store. The most problematic change was our new store number. Our usual store number of 3004 got transferred to the north store and we received the end of facility life store number of 3960. This caused our Gift Registry to stop working and halted our Mastercard transactions right in their tracks. My shift in Toys soon became a panicked rush at the checkouts as 4 csms tried to keep up with not only the regular csm stuff but all the manual approval calls that we had to do. That kept me at the shop till just after 7.

Right at the end of my shift the store was visited by a former employee who asked about the baseball games we used to play most sundays through the summer. This gave me pause and soon I was talking up a storm with Travis, Naseer, and especially Sarah about who we could get to play and where we could get equipment from. My hope is that we'll be able to play at least one game this summer, perhaps as early as Sunday, July 10th. I've gotta talk to Sarah about it again tomorrow though. All you evening shift associates get your catching mitts and prepare for the game of your life!

Tomorrow I've got another shift in Toys although it's a couple hours shorter then the one today was supposed to be. It's still anyones guess whether I'll spend the whole shift in the department or not. Hopefully they'll have most of todays problems fixed by tomorrow.
