what's wrong with this picture?

So many things happen in a day that are frustrating.

I get in and see I've had almost $4,000 in returns since leaving on Sunday. And today is a very slow day.  When I total my returns together with last Sunday's sales and today's, I am still well below zero. So basically, I have now worked for two days and earned nothing.

The computers we use are ages old, and are constantly not working. Or working so slowly it's as if the company is still on dial-up.

I call Customer Service to ask for help on a customer issue and after 20 minutes on hold I just give up.

The scissors I need to cut some ribbon don't cut. I've bought many scissors in a lifetime and I can't remember ever having one that doesn't cut.

I try to help a customer make an online purchase and she is charged for shipping because I didn't enter a code, which up until today I've never had to.  I click the link to cancel the order and it doesn't work.  

My director prints out the new month's schedule which is barely legible. I suggest maybe getting some toner. He's requested it, but so far has been unsuccessful in receiving it.

About half the letters on the keyboard near the terminal I use are missing. Today I wrongly guess at where the N, B and U are.

I lose my photo ID and report it missing a few days ago. K, the very-nice person in charge of ID's, tells me where to pick up my replacement. Today I go to the designated area and it's not there, despite K having delivered it. K says she'll re-do it.

I follow K to the area where the ID's are processed.  It's taking a while so  K kindly offers to bring it to me when it's ready.

Sometime later K brings me my new PHOTO ID. 









"It'll still work," says a red-faced K. But I guess next week we should re-take your picture."

Darn; the last one was so good.
