With the largest ever devastation from a natural disaster that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, I was reminded of something that I put in my blog on January 1, 2004. Check this shit out…
Well, it’s officially here, 2004 has kicked the hinges off the door and is here in full force. I now have my brand new calendar all in place and I am ready for whatever the New Year has to offer, which seems to be earthquakes. Lots of fucking earthquakes. We’ve already had one in California on December 22, then there was a large one in Iran on December 26. Today another earthquake hit Mexico city. I see a trend beginning here, don’t you? 2004 will be the year of horrible natural disasters.
Yeah, I wrote that almost a year ago. Maybe I was just shooting off at the hip and maybe I really do know what I’m talking about. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen four huge ass hurricanes hit Florida in the same year, and one even came at them twice. I’ve never seen over 100,000 people die from anything, let alone an earthquake driven tsunami. Definitely a very weird year.
As far as work goes, there really hasn’t been anything that has royally pissed me off lately. In fact I’m off of work today and I work tomorrow and I’m off again Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which I’m guessing is a reward for working Christmas Eve. Oh wait, what am I thinking? Of course I’m pissed off about something; I have to be because they’re idiots there. I had already mentioned that they ordered a pallet of the large storage containers for me which I haven’t gotten yet. Then they went ahead and ordered me up to two pallets of kitchen size plastic containers that will retail for $1 each. Two fucking pallets. I got a shipper of this dollar plastic shit and you know what? I still have a half a shipper left, what in the hell am I going to do with two pallets?
Tuesday I got in a whole pallet of Slim Fast Ultima, because everyone and their mother are going to be going on a diet in a few days… for a few days. Now I’ve gotten pallets of Slim Fast in the past and they don’t sell. I tried to tell corporate this before and apparently I don’t know what I’m talking about. In fact I got signed up for two pallets, the second one coming in around March. I have sent so many six packs of Slim Fast back to my warehouse because it outdated on me I can’t even remember how many times I’ve had to do it. Well, I got the shit in the store, so nothing to do about it except put it out. These are bonus packs, so it’s 6 plus 2 free. I check out to see if it’s in the system and shockingly they are. However, even though they are in the system, they aren’t in there right. I sell the six packs for $6.49 and the ones that came in say “8 cans for the price of 6”. Well, the 8 packs are ringing up at $7.99… So much for 2 free. Well, I had to email a few people on that and I am hoping that today they are getting downloaded so I can put them out tomorrow when I go in. Just another day in the life of working for idiots.
