I was not even aware we had a holiday today until I went out to get the mail and there wasn’t any. I slept right through it. Unfortunately I got to bed so late today I will cancel my bike ride to work tonight.

Long sleeve day
I rode the bike to work last night. When I rode back this morning, it was pleasantly chilly. Tonight a frost warning has been issued for the area. Local temperatures should stay above freezing, but it is time to wear long sleeves at work. It gets warm in the store I work at overnights. WeContinue reading “Long sleeve day”
Test run
I misplaced the tablet that I post on, so I haven’t posted lately. But I did manage to get one of my bikes up and did a few test runs this weekend. Now I try to commute to work tonight. Temperatures are ideal, but daylight is now an issue both ways.
Avoiding work
When I am not working at Wally World, I try to avoid the place. Unfortunately, when you have insurance from Walmart, Walmart is your drug dealer. My prescriptions are ready, so I will run a bunch of other errands that I otherwise would have delayed until next week when I get back from vacation. EvenContinue reading “Avoiding work”
If you can’t be busy…

You had to use it or lose it at the start of the next year.Continue reading “Vacation Policies”

You know people are hurting when they aren’t buying groceries at Walmart. Our holiday displays are in the backroom waiting to be put up. Unfortunately there is a lot of summer groceries that didn’t sell so well, so there is some serious clearance sales. Red, white and blue M&Ms were half off at 6 dollars.Continue reading “Ain’t buying it”
Lying down on the job
My job can literally be a pain. Reaching up on the top shelf to bring boxes or cans is not so bad. Bending over to put things on lower shelves can be a bit awkward at times. But seeing what is in the back of the bottom shelf preventing you from stocking an item canContinue reading “Lying down on the job”

Working on Labor Day
I always found it ironic people celebrated Labor Day by not working. For the first half of my working career I did exactly that. Most of the last 20 years I have had to work on Labor Day and all holidays that fell on Mondays. This is my fourth year in a row I haveContinue reading “Working on Labor Day”
