Going Out of My Mind

I work at an infromation center. We are in the midst of the busy season. Half of my co-workers were on time and the other half were late. I feel we were one short , but who cares. We were so busy that my younger co-workers really couldn't spend the whole day on the computer(for a change). I had to run an errand at lunch and was a few minutes late coming back. The girl who was going when I got back from lunch actually went to lunch before I got back. The manager took an hour and a half. We were busy the whole time.
Our boss had asked us to make sure that the pamphlet stations were stocked when she came in on Monday morning. I had two co-workers, at different times of the day, spend a couple of hours each re-stocking the brochure racks and when we were ready to close at the end of the day there were still 4 or 5 slots empty ! How does that happen ? You don't need to put infinite variety out there, just fill the fucking holes ! It's not rocket science !
It is such a whirl wind on Sundays. I really get tired of it. But it pays time and a half and I can't pass up that income.
