So...I need an outlet to vent or just ramble. I make a blog that some peeps might actually read faithfully. I get a new job and some of the stress goes away. I don't really need an outlet anymore. I get new friends. I can vent to them. Now, i have a blog that has not been posted to in FOREVER!!
Hi!! I'm back!! Even if it's only for a little while...I'm back. The house has been a jumble of ups and downs for a little bit. Emotions have been running high and the stress has been through the roof!! Since Jon and I work different shifts, we don't get to communicate as often as we would like. This has a tendency to suck on a major level. Something gets said and it gets taken the wrong way. Something DOESN'T get said and it gets taken the wrong way. Signals that were once caught aren't anymore. There's an endless supply of weariness. I can't wait for the stress to end!!
Um, there's been a lot of changes going on at work. Some of them aren't major but some are positively out of this world!! We have a new way to set up the pallets when we pull them out now. Instead of parking them next to the frozen bunkers like we always do, we need to park them in between the bunker and a feature!! It isn't a major change but it's enough to confuse a person for the first couple of times they do this. I've learned how to bin. It's good thing and a bad thing. What happens is, if I get bored and there really isn't much to do on the floor I can go in the back room and busy myself doing something that needs to be done anyhow. The managers don't mind and it IS a good time filler. Once again, nothing major though.
One of the bigger things though is the move of my "mentor" Scotty. He's going to switch to Electronics and leave Dry Grocery. It's only major because now I have a bit of a load that is expected of me. I like getting a few more hours on my checks though. I really don't mind the workload. Scott Jones has taught me well. I know what needs to be done and I can do it. I have learned where most everything is and can actually help someone when they ask. I think I don't like this because it's a bit of a shift from my comfort zone. Not to mention I will be losing a good conversation partner. It hasn't happened yet. I don't know when he will move. He hasn't told me. One day I'm going to walk in and Gary will tell me "Hey, Scotty moved over today." It will be a sad day. LOL
Another thing that rocked the boat...my buddy Calen quit Wal-Mart completely!! He was scheduled to work yesterday and never showed. I got asked where he was. I had no clue for sure!! We're friends but it came as a surprise to me. Schooley (one of the main produce guys) was the one that asked a manager what was up. It got back to me and a few of the others around 7 or so. Sheesh, yet another conversation partner gone. Now I'm REALLY gonna have to work (just to keep myself occupied). This is a major shift in my damn workplace. I still have some of my old stand bys and there are the other newbies that have come in. I can deal...I think.
The weather has been mirroring how it's been going here lately. Up and down, sunny and rainy, warm and cold. It's never the same from day to day. It's wrecking havoc on the allergy sufferers in my family. Oh wait, that's the ENTIRE family. Crap!! Today I need a jacket, tomorrow will be the same. The day after that I need a tank top and shorts!! Oh how I love living in Oklahoma...
