stuff that goes wrong

Oh man oh man. The last couple of days @ work have been CRAZY.

On Monday afternoon the gas stopped pumping. Simply stopped! A co-worker, A., tried re-setting the pumps twice thinking there was some glitch in the program. In the meantime she had called a fuel repairman. He took two hours to get here, two hours to go to Delafield to get the parts he needed, and another 6 hours to fix the stuff going haywire in the basement.

Oh yeah, there was not a glitch in the program. There was something seriously wrong with the parts. In the basement there were sparks flying, parts were drowned out in water... it was a major mess! That was on Monday. I came in on Tuesday to check out my work schedule. When I showed up @ 1000 everything was aok and people were pumping out their gas. So thankfully everything was alright outside.

But today things went really wrong with the frappochino machine. Some of the funnels weren't working and they were not spitting out the coffee. The repairmen took a look and said everything was fine. Like not even two hours later one of the funnels started spitting out HOT HOT water all over the damn place. I was rushing around putting cups in the place of the water so it would not overflow.

T., our assistant manager, had to turn the machine off so he could stop the hot water going all over the place. By the time he turned off the machine there was water everywhere! He kept me at the cash register while he mopped/wiped up all the water that had gotten on the counter top and the floor. It took him well over an hour to mop everything up! :P

I have to come into work tomorrow pretty early. What will go wrong then?
