Wow. Okay. I am never wearing those boots again. After my eight-hour shift, seven of which solid were spent on my feet running around like crazy, my feet were dead. I was actually limping because my feet hurt so much, instead of just walking slower. But I found out why when I came home and got my shoes off: a blister on the bottom of my foot the size of the pad of my thumb. Ew.
So, yeah. I don't know. The only decent shoes I've got right now are my indoor-gym-use-only shoes. I'll probably give them a try on Monday. Either that or find some good gel inserts for my work shoes. Either one would work.
Gods, work was crazy yesterday. I got there at ten and I didn't even get to look at the clock until nearly four. We had to take down the biiiig room, clean it (the wine tasting fund raiser left a mess and the whole room smelled like old wine), then set up for a reception. I did get to do the lights, though. Climbed the...I don't know, 12-foot ladder to reach the spotlights. I had to spotlight the cake and the buffet table. Why would you spotlight the buffet table? I don't get it, but whatever. Wasn't my reception.
And in between that time we got to set up the room for an 80th birthday party, only the caterer got there early so we had to rush to set up the catering tables, then had to set up around the caterer and his assistants. Then the family of the birthday person started coming in and decorating before we'd finished setting up the room, so we had to finish setting up around them. And let me tell you, hauling stacks of chairs into a room filled with food and decorations is not fun.
So I was working with another employee until three thirty, and then I became the senior person on call with the new-new girl, and we finished up the banquet. I think we were done by four. So I went pretty much non-stop from 10am to 4 pm. And I probably shouldn't have sat down because then I didn't want to get up again. But we had to set one of the other rooms not in use at the time for a church that came in this morning. So I was limping and setting up chairs and going to get the electric piano.
Bleh. So, yeah. I don't hate my job, it's just crazy sometimes, and I definitely need better shoes.
