Right now I finally got the baby to nap. She's been up pretty much all day and she was just too tired. Heaven help anyone who wakes her up in the next hour, I might need bail money. LOL

right now, send the baby to work the pro shop when there is a men's club scramble going on! i was scheduled to work til 6:00 and got home at 8:52.
i am very vexed with a couple of the men who thought they were soooooo smart. the scramble was comped, but they had to pay 16 bucks for a cart. 4 guys showed up about an hour and 15 minutes ahead of the scramble time. they wanted to play 9 holes for free. i told them i was sorry, but the scramble was free, any rounds they played ahead of time they would have to pay for. they said, 'then what can we do for that time?' i told them they could practice chipping and putting or buy a bucket of balls for the driving range, have a beer...whatever. so they asked if they could go ahead and get their carts assigned so they could put their clubs and things into them. i rented them their carts. next thing you know, the 4-some tees off and heads out and plays 9 holes. i was really angry and the marshal was even there when i told them they would have to pay. they just decided to be sneaky.
then they came back in and one guy said, "i only paid for half the cart to ride around in. i am in another cart for the scramble with a different partner. so i am only going to pay 8 dollars for a cart, because i already paid 8 dollars on my half of the first cart. i told him i could not rent a half a cart, and he would need to get his 8 bucks for the first cart from whoever was the new person riding THAT cart. the guy started screaming that I was cheating HIM.
then when i had to balance the money at the end of the night, it all worked out perfectly; however, you also have to total individual cart rentals, all the green fees, merchandise, etc., and they were off by 6 bucks. well, an 18-hole cart fee is 22 bucks and a 9-hole cart fee is 16 bucks. it was pretty clear it was an error on a tag for a golf cart.
i had a tape that was 18 feet long and the ink is almost like our invisible posts here! i finally saw where the morning gal charged 22 bucks 5 times, but only had 4 tags made out for 22 bucks. she had also checked both boxes for 9 and 18 holes. i am guessing the people started to go for 9 holes, then decided to play 18 and the gal just forgot to change her 16 to a 22. i was able to change it on both copies, to make all my tags come out right, but i swear it was an hour to find the darn thing!
after the scramble, the group decided to have a few pitchers. well, they didn't even finish the scramble until about 15 minutes before closing and there is a lot of stuff to do when a day 'ends'. i had 19 carts i had to put in the shed and hook up to their electric chargers. i had the nightmare with the balancing of the receipts. i have to vacuum and clean all the glass windows and doors...
the restaurant gal finally told the guys they had to leave at 8:00, then we had our clean up of the restaurant and the pro shop. i am wiped. i ate my lunch, an apple, on the way home at 8:30!
a hard part of balancing the day is that the person who does the morning shift counts their money and sees if it matches the register tape to that point, but the closing person has to reconcile the tags.
the good part is, every single error that has occured since i started is someone else's. still makes me relieved to know everyone can make a mistake. it won't be the end of the world when i do!
i feel bad for the waitress who did all the cooking, serving, etc. on her own. she came in at 8:00 this morning, so worked over 12 hours all alone. wow! she is very sweet, so i always try to help her by vacuuming or busing the tables when i can.
sorry to bore you all. i just had to let off some steam! :-)
