Chore adjustments

For some reason I felt tired all day today, until I got home from work. I did site work when I got home, so maybe that made me awake.

While I'm getting more hours at work, my mind is killing me. I don't know how many times I had to repeat totals to customers. Or how many times I had to ask Dorothy to repeat herself. It was yet another horrible night at work. Customers were in-and-out for most of the early session, and Stan stayed for a while. Then when it died down, Bill and Dorothy showed up. Then Joe and Kay. They're pretty much taking my time until 11:00. I can get around these four, but I have to be absolutely perfect in the beginning of my shift in order to have a good night. I didn't have it.

About three months ago I made adjustments to my chorework. I had always made a list of things to do. This time I had made personal deadlines for each chore. That started out well, but began to falter.

I think I'm going to make some adjustments in chorework. I start the day making a list of cigs to stock. Since this is mostly a front job, I think I'll move it to during chit-chat time.

Clock in by 4:45. Inside trash right away. It'll push cappuchino rinsing to be done by 5:30. Fountain ice by 6:00. 5 bags of ice by 6:30. Lot or another five bags by 7:00. Rugs done by 7:30. Cigs done by 8:00.

Cooler count from 8:00 until the gang begins to arrive.

Lotto numbers entirely printed out by 9:30 (I would only do three for the gang, but didn't really print the ten for the customers). Papers stripped AND restrooms by 10:00.

Cooler, sweep and mop from 10 to 12. Lotto will be moved from 11 to 12, but still stop selling at 11.

Hopefully this will work out. There are a lot of things in the first half that may have already been done during mid.
