Friday proved to be a long and tiring day, and a motivating factor for me to more intensely pursue my dreams of working completely from home. I got to work at 1 PM, as scheduled, and was supposed to get off at 8 PM. However, when a supervisor called saying they needed several people from our store to work at another one because too many people there had not shown up to work, I was left with the choice to go to the other store or stay at the current one while others went. I opted to stay.
See, either way meant I would have to close. Instead of going home at 8, as scheduled, I would either go home at around midnight where I was or even later at the other store, since they stay open two hours longer. I was already tired and it was near the scheduled end of my shift when all this transpired, so I chose to stay.
This left us with myself and only one other person to operate the store and do all the closing procedures. We wound up leaving at 11:45 with all the most vital ones done, but we did skip over some things that weren't make-it-or-break-it important. Having just spent two hours doing the work that would normally be done by at least 4 people, we were really too tired to go much further.
I do like my job, but it's shifts like that which really light a fire under me to have a home business! What spurs you on to achieve that goal?
