We didn’t have a lot of soda to put on the shelves Friday night and Saturday night there were no 2 liter, 12 pack, or cases of Great Value soda. There wasn’t much more to put on the shelf last night. So expect more empty shelves the rest of the weekend. At least Pepsi andContinue reading “Soda shortage”

I love my job…
…they treat me right. I dream of (insert name of company here) day and night. If you ever hear these words from a coworker, run. But before you go, hide all of the sharp objects.
Calling in slick
Back at the bottled water company we had a loader that would calling sick every payday. The night shift got their checks Thursday night but couldn’t cash them until Friday morning. This loader would call in Friday night and come back Monday night broke. This continued until he failed to call in one night. BeforeContinue reading “Calling in slick”
Weeding out the help-Peach Pit
At the bottled water company I spent most of the 80s and 90s at, we started people off as temporary help, hired the best and threw the rest back into the street. Some times it took longer than others to figure out if the dude was worth hiring. One day we got a temporary fromContinue reading “Weeding out the help-Peach Pit”
Weeding out the help again
At the bottled water company I spent way too many years at, we would go through a lot of suspects to find one good prospective employee. Most wouldn’t last a day as the pace and endurance were a feature to weed out the unable or unwilling to work. Once you got hired, the pay wasn’tContinue reading “Weeding out the help again”
Almost a vacation
I had a two day work week before starting my weekend. I found out my boss will be gone for the next ten days. This means I am in the middle of a nineteen day period where I do not see my boss, which is almost as good as a vacation. No matter how wellContinue reading “Almost a vacation”
Mondays are better….
…..when they happen on Thursday. After tonight, I get two more days off. And if I can take better advantage of this weekend than I did the last one it will be even better.
Birthday cakes arrived
I turn 60 next week. I usually don’t do much to celebrate, but because I am unlikely to make it to 70 I ordered a couple of birthday cakes from Smith Island Baking Company. The cakes are small ten layer cakes and very sweet. I will take them to work tonight and see how muchContinue reading “Birthday cakes arrived”
Weeding out the help, Part five.
Another stocker quit at Wally World the night before last. He just walked out at lunch time and never returned. He also never told anybody he was leaving. It’s not like he had another job lined up and with the economy about to take a serious dump, he may not get another. I noticed thatContinue reading “Weeding out the help, Part five.”
Inventory
I had to work on my night off to prepare the shelves for the annual inventory. No matter what job you have, there will always be some tasks that are frustrating and irritating. Rounding up stray boxes of Jello and figuring out where they are supposed to go is high on that list. So isContinue reading “Inventory”
