Quite litterally. The weekend was SO unbelievably overwhelming.
To start off, i was actually robbed, at gunpoint at the resturaunt i work at on Sunday night. It was scary to say the least. Two women came into my store, sat down and had dinner, asked for an application and a pen, left, came back and robbed the place. It seems that they asked for an application so that they would know who the manager was (they asked to see the manager and when i came up that's what they wanted) because when they came in to actually rob us they got in between me and the two girls working for me that night. The woman with the gun came towards me, gun at eye level and told me to open my safe. The other woman pinned the two girls working for me that night against a table. She had pepper spray, but didn't really need it. The girls were scared to death. I didn't freak out, thank God. I was worried about my crew. I knew i had to do what i could to keep things calm and not scare them or make the robbers nervous, but it was sureal. Like a dream almost. It wasn't thought for though, but more instinct. When it was all over i wanted to just go lay down and wake up.
I called the police, my boss and Daddy. They came in that order too. By the time Daddy got ther i was getting frazzled. He tried to help me get things in order but i wasn't recieving it right. I got mad and yelled at Him. I felt like even though i was doing my absolute best to keep everything in check and still get my job done it wasn't good enough for Him. i know that wasn't it, He was just trying to help. It wasn't the way i usually behave. He did forgive me, i think. I appologized. Anyway, it kind of set my whole week into a spin and i am just barely getting it all together now. It feels like everything is unsettled though because they haven't been able to arrest anyone yet. I don't know.
I do know it's hard to be at work. I still work nights. I am a little more anxious then i ever was before. It's not making me jittery or anything, it's just upsetting me that it's in my head as a possibility now. Before i was able to keep this optimistic about it having never happened at our store. Maybe i should have been more of a realist and figured theodds were against me *grins*
well, other than the flood at work from the pop machine blowing a hose on Saturday night...and the robbery Sunday, nothing really big happened last weekend. How about you? *laughs*
be well
winter
