I am such a dope!

This morning I received a call from work asking if I was available. I said of course and then was given my assignment. Today, Middle School...yikes! So off I went to work. In my head I am thinking that I will probably get the lousy assignments today, like dishes and maintaining the salad bar, I am truly okay with that though. No! I am asked to work the outside breakfast bar and register. It's one thing if you know what you are doing but I was told in two minutes how to operate this thing and that if I needed help just yell. So swarms of kids are punching in their codes and grabbing all kinds of things, the computer alerts me when their account is low so I am supposed to (keyword "supposed") stop the line and take care of that transaction. Well flustered as I can get these kids showed me no mercy. I ended up with extra dollars in my hands that didn't get posted to the right kids account and to top it off I think I added $100.00 to one kids account instead of $1.00. Ooops!!!! So thankfully this only lasted 18 (long) minutes. I told my Supervisor what had happened and she just laughed. I think she was just glad someone was out there. Anyway, lunch roles around and my assignment changed to inside the cafeteria. This job entailed overseeing the line and watching over the student helpers while the attend the windows. I tell you, its pretty sad when a 6th Grader has to show you how to operate a machine! :o)
