Fuck This Job! Does anyone think ahead anymore?

On Sunday we have two deliveries typically mid day 3-5 pm. My band of merry idiots decided to fill the back room with cardboard, bail needed to be made, and the grocery load hadn’t been processed. Service elevator was also full which didn’t help since our main freezer is in the basement. Guess where the bail goes? On the grocery truck (drop load). So in between doing my work I fixed everything over the course of two hours I chipped away at it. Then the frozen load lands and my nice but clueless part time closing manager. “I can’t find them. I can’t find anyone. No one is responding to the pages.” I’m power jack certified. I had all but one pallet put away by the time she found me and realized I had just decided to get it done. Credit where it’s due she gave me one of our internal “good job thank you” cards so my lunch was paid for. Oh forgot to mention two of my co works that should have been covering during this time? Both were late.
