When I moved to Kansas in 2006, it was the first time I lived in a state where fireworks were legal to use. What was even better was only being an hour from Missouri, where almost everything was legal. I moved right after July Fourth in 2006 then missed 2007 because severe flooding eliminated fireworksContinue reading “Fireworks”

Calling off work
I got a flat tire at work this morning. I managed to put enough air to get home, then fell asleep. By the time I got up it got hotter than normal. Sure enough the tire was flat and I had to put the donut tire on. I think I might have a case ofContinue reading “Calling off work”
Juneteenth
Today was the 158th anniversary of the announcement in Galveston, Texas of the end of slavery. This has been a federal holiday for two years now. Other than not getting any mail today, it was business as usual today. I have to go back to work tonight.
Wally World delivers eventually
The management announced this week that our Walmart is going to offer home delivery. They have a target date and will announce it as soon as they can hire drivers.
Almost the same as last night
Ok, the guy that called in showed up last night. But everyone else who decided to not work the whole night didn’t. If this wasn’t my Friday I’d call in.
Suspects dropping like flies
At work last night, two of our recent hires did not show up last night. One of them did not even bother to call in. To make things worse, two of our longer time coworkers went home at lunchtime. Needless to say with our no overtime edict from on high, the shelves were not completelyContinue reading “Suspects dropping like flies”
Drug Dealers, Part two
I posted yesterday about insurance companies pushing you to use certain pharmacies. After reviewing that post I felt I need to expand on that a little bit. When Clean Harbors sold its transformer division, the company that bought it wanted us to use CVS as our drug dealer. The problem was the nearest CVS wasContinue reading “Drug Dealers, Part two”
Memorial Day
A lot of blogs I follow had a post about Memorial Day. I didn’t bother because like most holidays, it went by before I knew it was there. Wally World only gives its employees two holidays a year, Christmas and Thanksgiving, neither of which are paid. Since most holidays are on Monday or Friday, IContinue reading “Memorial Day”
More suspects
We have four new hires on overnights last week. It is too early to figure out if they will stay, but they seem a little slow. Hopefully their speed will pick up as they spend more time in the aisles.
Soda shortage
I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post that Sunday night is the slowest night for stocking freight. There was very little soda on the shelf last night and wasn’t much more when I left this morning. Hopefully Coke and Pepsi will fill in the gap today, but even their shelves were a little bare thisContinue reading “Soda shortage”
