Mundane Midweek: What Happened Wednesday

So Charlotte has started a series of posts for lifestyle bloggers to share stories of their Mundane Midweek days. I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and give it a go - I like to see what people get up to, just a little nosey y'see. So here's my attempt at a Mundane Midweek: What Happened Wednesday.

Wednesday was an early start with my alarm going off at 6.30am and surprisingly I woke with a spring in my step and bright eyed and bushy tailed. I work in a pet shop which opens in the week at 9am so normally I get there 15 minutes before we open, but was needed in at 8am to do a stock count. 

The day was going fine, I algae wiped all the fish tanks, served on the till and generally it was quite quiet. Our area manager came in unannounced which threw us as she was supposed to be popping in today (Thursday) and from that moment onwards the day just went up in smoke (not literally of course, just figuratively.)

Our day was planned to get a lot of jobs done but with an unexpected visit and with only 4 of us in until 2pm we were running round like headless chickens trying to juggle jobs and at one stage I was in the juggling water changing the fish tanks, serving on the till and helping a customer! Definitely need more arms!

Dinner came and soon went and everything seemed to have calmed down a little, until there was a shout from one of my colleagues as an escaped budgie had been found high in the stock room. So there were three of us attempting to catch the little bird and I feel this would have been perfect for the time spent 'chasing' the little fellow!

Eventually though the budgie was tiring and flew into the staff room and was finally caught, after a little struggle of course. So after that excitement the day started to get a little quieter though the shop was full of dogs competing for loudest bark due to having vets in. Time to then carry on with jobs that should have been done by dinner time, so the plant tank was completely cleaned and then so were the shelves. 

Then it was 4.30 and it was time to go home but of course it was tipping it down and everyone asked 'hevv have you walked' 'yeah' 'you got an umbrella?' 'aha no' so a colleague gave me a lift home which was lovely of her considering she'd be scrambling the stack of pallets to get the budgie. So the rest of the night was spent being chilled out whilst watching some tv before crashing.

I'd like to read other Mundane Midweek posts that were inspired by Charlotte!

So how has your day been? Let me know :)
