I started my workweek last night and found out I was associate of the month at Wally World. This might be because I am one of the few overnight stockers who hasn’t quit or given notice of quitting. I have spent most of my work career NOT working 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I realizeContinue reading “Employee of the month”

Mask Free at Last
I am still getting used to not wearing a mask at work. As socially distant as we were at work, it was about as useful as a bag of football bats at stopping WuFlu. The tables in the breakroom are set up for seating four people to a table instead of two. Even the localContinue reading “Mask Free at Last”
Layoff, Two Years Later
Two years ago today, I got laid off at work. Two years before that, the company sold our division. I was going to get an extra day of vacation that year and an extra week the next year. I lost that as a result of the sale along with all of my personal days, twoContinue reading “Layoff, Two Years Later”
Looking Back at My Career, Part 1
With two more weeks of nothing growing because Persephone Days are still here, I have decided to make filler posts. With 40 years of work experience, I have a lot of stories that can be used as posts. My last job before moving to Kansas was picking orders at the Petsmart warehouse* in Phoenix. IContinue reading “Looking Back at My Career, Part 1”
BRRRRR….
Got our first snow of the season, not enough to cover the ground, but enough to make the roads slick. Temperatures dropped below 10 degrees and may do so again tonight. This wouldn’t have been so bad if my door handle did not break off last night as I was going to work. Trying toContinue reading “BRRRRR….”
New Year’s Eve
I haven’t celebrated New Year’s Day in decades. Normally, I would go to bed early and just goof off on New Year’s Day. This year I have to work, so I am going to bed really early so I can work all night. The one thing I miss about my old job is paid holidaysContinue reading “New Year’s Eve”
Christmas is Over
I got Christmas Eve off, but have to go in tonight. Only two more hours of crappy Christmas music and things should start getting back to normal tonight.
WuFlu is Back
Southeast Kansas has another uptick in WuFlu cases. Our department manager* has been told to crack down on mask wearing at Wally World. The store manager has told her too many of us are not wearing our masks and she will watch the surveillance tapes to be sure we are complying. We have a bunchContinue reading “WuFlu is Back”
New Junk, Part Two
We got started setting up our new handhelds from Wallyworld. Unfortunately we got locked out of our work apps. Since this is my weekend, I will have to wait until Thursday night. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Indy library to do some research on local journalism, or the lack thereof. We have localContinue reading “New Junk, Part Two”
New Junk
The long awaited Walmart take home scanners have arrived. We are allowed to use them at home for personal use. Unfortunately we can’t actually use them because of a long drawn out authorization process. And if I don’t manage to get through it tonight, I have to wait until next week. Fortunately, we got mostContinue reading “New Junk”
