* Happy Birthday Jennifer!! *

Wow, what a night last night was. It was my first night closing at IOA and there was so much to do I could hardly keep up. First of all, I get there and like everything had to get re-stocked cause the opener didn't do it. On top of that, EVERYONE (except for the leads of course) were MINORS! So every time I turned around, someone had to go on break. At least last night I didn't have to do the nightly counts because now they are doing them on a weekly basis and Kevin(the manager) is doing them. The fireworks were awesome, I liked seeing them; I just wished someone was there with me. After the fireworks, it slowed down MAJORLY. After I got everything closed and all the money pulled, it was time to go to the vault. I was so tired last night that I kept messing up the bundles, and since the machien doesn't work, it makes it more of a hassel. After we got the money counted and I bought all the change back(5's and 1's), we had a little problem. The safe was $11 short and the games were $55 over. We stayed for a good 30 minutes until I called Kevin and he came and after 5 minutes found BOTH mix-ups. The first was I forgot to pull a $11 refund from a game. The second was on one of the slips, we counted the number of 5's right, but I messed up on the multiplication, and there was the $55. So everything balanced out at the end thank god. Today I am off, so that is a relief. I wish I could go down to Satelite Beach and see my sister cause it's her birthday. I'll call her at least later on. I'm just dreading what the house is going to look like when I get home. The dogs have been home alone for the past few days and I'm sure SOMETHING will be damaged. Well, got to go. Later Days!
