welcome to my mind ...

Well first of all I had to open today. But I woke up late so I was in a rush to get to work so that I could turn the ovens on. So as I'm walking up I see that the side gate was left open. Now, it wasn't all the way open but it was ajar. I think for a split second that we had been robbed again. But then I think, naa Gary must have just forgot to lock the gate. So I think nothing of it until I get around to the back door. When I get up to the back door, I see that the padlock was missing. At that point I don't want to go into the store. So I got nextdoor to PostNet and get Keith. Keith comes out, opens the door, puts one foot in, sees that the alarm keypad had been ripped off the wall and that there were wires on the floor. He told me to call Joey so I did. Neither of us went in after that. Joey call the cops and the cops called me and within five minutes later the cops were there. And for half an hour they were in and out doing things checking that the coast was clear, checking for fingerprints. We had to explain that Keith had touched the doorknob, but nothing else. So I ended up not getting into the store to turn the ovens on until 10:00. Joey showed up shortly after that. I took him through the store and showed him the damage that had been done. The wires were cut, two of our cameras were gone and the office was completely a mess. One of the two computers in the office was missing and the other one was completely torn apart. And because that was the main terminal, none of the other computers worked. Since none of our computers were up and working, we couldn't open. So our computer guy came and started working on our systems to get them up an running as soon as possible so that we could open. Well, we finally got some luck. When Joey was cleaning up the wires in the office, he found the connector piece that held our mainframe system info. It had apparently fallen out when the burglar(s), were tearing up the computers in the office. So all we had to do was plug it into another computer and we had our computer systems back online (except the one in the office). Our phones were still not working, but we were able to open the doors to walk-in orders only. Although because the credit card machine is hooked up to the phone line, we couldn't take credit cards. So we really didn't have much business. When I was leaving work they were almost ready to get the phones up and working. So today was just fucking peachy. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be better. Ya know I'm actually kinda glad that it was me opening rather than Erin, because Erin would have freaked the fuck out. She would have gone into the store and freaked out even more when she say the mess that they had made. So I guess it was better that it was me instead of her. Alright I have no clue what else to say to I'll write again later.
