Ah work

Last night , I think I had an adrenaline  rush or something.... 10 pallets of Health and beauty care was stocked out... Oh  yea and  6 Totes filled with products...
  Oh yea, I ache now..
Was  it work?
OR...
Was it  me  getting older?

I have  a co-worker  who is lazy(JOY).. or who  makes a turtle jealous...
I asked  her since she is doing the bath products and that might end up in the grocery aisle( if  she  will take 2 friggin xoxes over with her to see if they will go out...  She  said I  should  make you just work it,,


Noted: she may  have  done  half a skid all  night long ... While.. Kaylene  and I have  worked out 4 peoples' work... note what I said how many above...

I just wanted to go up next  to her and just slap her..
I  said  fu...  to her to myself.....  eh, :P  Ended  up I didn't need them at all and they ended up being back  stock...
I had a friggin back ache all night  and  still can  win a marathon against her... Special one  or not:P


I am mad at bosses  too...
@ of them   told me forget  about asking  for days  off in December so I never ask for my days  off for my b-day  or the day before
 Found out...   my part-timer  lazy liar-man -chaser,(no naming her...{that is all  she gets from me} just  ask a few days  off  and she got it... I was like wtf???? On  MY b-day  no less..

Oh let's say this,,, Now  I have 4 weeks of vacation total  and 6 personal paid days left...... until next November.... I am taking one in January... whether  I go some place or not..... At least I am  waiting until after the holidays.

Jan, ,may  July,,,,October I am looking into  for Vacations......

It's that time of year again

This is  mostly the time of year that I would just love to hide and become a bear.. Hibernate.

I don't know  if it's because  of  all the mixed emotions from other people.... The Cold,  driving on ice or snow.
People wouldn't think I shouldn't be... My  thirty-eighth birthday is coming up.. December fifteenth ..
Christmas... New years..

Just let me say this... I used to love  birthdays.. I like others more than mine...
I used to love Christmas..... Seventeen years  of  working retail will  ruin  that.
I recently loss(okay ,last year) the person I have been looking  for  for a while... MY --from  elementary through  high school--Best friend,.When I found her... Only a few messages from  her  than ..~poof  I got a message from her brother that she had  many mental disorders  that  she had committed suicide... Was missing since Dec. 11th,, killed herself around  then.. They found her right before Christmas..
She would've been thirty-nine next month...

Some days when I am lying in bed, I  look up and start talking to her even though she can't reply back..
Then my tears come ..

Think another part of my problem  is my debt issue.. Every time  I get ahead for my goal to end that..Something else  pokes its' ugly  head out..

I will be 38,  back living with my dad... getting stressed  over  my sister and her 3 kids..
I have  a brain  that  doesn't function to well...(Learning disability)
I get  to emotional( negative this time of year...)

I feel  like 1 person is hurting me and another one  is trying to distance themselves away...
An online  best friend is hurting so badly  and will be hospitalized soon... and I can't do anything for him.
I do not know why...
I do not take  any relationship  for granted,, love or just friends.

I don't open up much.. maybe..I do  to some and  that scares them?

Might be afraid that  someone  can  use that against me
I try  to joke  to make everyone laugh even though I am trying to make myself too


I dislike the freezing rain, and the snow that gets stuck on the roads...

A little to do a bout a job.

First step on telling  a little about myself. I have been  with the same company for the past 17 years....
Hired in on November third.  Not  even  twenty-one years old  then.  I came to live in the area by moving  with the folks to  Michigan...Got out of a fast food job that was making me crazy , and feeling too  gross  to even smell and fast food places for a while.  Remind you, I was new  to  the area and didn't have the "Skills" for a better paying  job that's on the uppity-up... I am losing track so.. That will go into another blog some day..
 Maybe

When I first went into the store  I was like  "Wow."  Because, before a few years ago  we didn't have that store in Indiana.. --- But  now  they do.-- Years later

It was huge.  Compare  to Wally world.. hmm  at that time.. yes. Now.. every store has copied each other.

A major grocery store  with  a huge selection of general merchandise..
I was hired in around the time when they were picking seasonal.. But I was told mine wasn't  just seasonal
 a trial basis  and if I did good... I get to stay..
Really, I didn't think I would be staying more than a year..
Even fellow coworkers  didn't believe I would last a year.

Fooled  them and myself,, Didn't I?  Since, I am still here now.
I am  Full-time  for  the last thirteen and a half years.
but I am getting ahead.
Was hired in as a Cosmetic clerk.---Remember Xmas season... Ugh
I didn't receive the proper training..
My manager decided she would go on vacation when I started..
Had the Full timer  in charge... How did  that go?
"Here's the pricing gun. Here's the product." We have  three and a half aisles. Find the stock match the prices ,, price  and put  out.."

Needless to say I didn't know how to put tape in a pricing gun,, but I learned quick... On  my own.. No it's  not hard to do... But  if you never seen it done... and if you know me...Frustrations kicked in... When I get too angry  I tear...

I learned how and which ways techniques to stock fast.

A week  later , I hear in the next aisles , "She's good because I trained her."

I walked to that aisle
I repeated  the sentences was she  told me..
That  was my training  I learned on my own..
I  was still a  nice  quiet,  shy  person .. So, I just left the situation just like that.
I liked my job  for a few years.. I made a game out of it.. Even   when it was holidays/seasonal/special occasions ..
But I learned a few  workers are back stabbers, treacherous wenches..Liars and what nots..
I begin to feel a little better when I went off  the first shift and landed the 2nd shift. But 2nd shift bored me to tears..  I was getting antsy.. I told my first assistant  if I can stock product out faster by coming in a few hours later...  She  said  she was going to  reposition me or  have to fire because they  only  want 1 cosmetic person  for each shift...
I  told her  to put me on thirds... I can set the ads and stock...
Third shift I became..  I stocked.. learned to build center aisles end caps.. I was still part time
 so setting ads was every other weekend.. Met the grocery part crew( shyingly-- if that is a  word.. but  you get my drift.. And they Told me how people are.. there.. I became  the shy girl in the break rooms sitting in the corner... Writing or drawing.. Kind of kept to myself.. But grocery crew was having none of that..:)
My first assistant came up  to me before I left for  work  one morning she asked.... me if  I wanted  to go full time... I was doing the hours, but the catch I would  be doing the health and beauty care side... No cosmetics was still its own department... I thought  for a moment  told her I have to get back with her on  that..  I was just starting to  meet people.. Remember.. I am shy.. so hard for me..  I talked it over with my mom she said, "Go  for it"... Well, I called my manager right there and then.. which is a good thing.. She was about to sign out for day... and told her.. Well I became full timer..
I learned the ninnies (first shifters) didn't  know what to say but the full timer cosmetics told them... Wait...
Long story short... they ended up having less stock to do(that was when they still had to do new stock) Less back stock..
to  be continued

Bare with me and my thoughts.

This is my first attempt to blog anywhere  that is just blogging since the yahoo 360 days. Or kiddie(Myspace). 

  I will say randoms  thoughts, corny jokes, or/and how my day/night went and  is going..

Right  now this is in testing mode... Not  sure I like my background just yet.. and yes,, it  is a little "Dark".
  I have a twisted sense  of humor  that makes you think of that little Donkey  , named EEyore on Winnie  the Pooh ..

  I am not usually  the gloomy  person  I  act towards others, though
I am not a perky little  shit like my oldest niece, Ashlie.. I love her.
 
Hmmm, as I am previewing I think my font needs  to come down a notch  or  two?


 What do you think?
