Hey, it’s finally here. I can finally throw away my crusty ass 2004 calendar and break out that fancy new 2005 model. Some people get a new car every year; me, I just go for the calendar. I would have to say my New Year’s Eve wasn’t as celebrative as everyone else’s. I ended up falling asleep around 10pm, but to my credit I did wake up at midnight. When I saw that all was still ok, then I went back to sleep and figured if the world didn’t end while I was sleeping then I wouldn’t be needed any further for the night. I remember back on Y2K days staying up late to see if the world was going to end or something and now that I’m older and wiser I’m thinking shit… if the world was really going to end, why in the fuck would I want to be up for that shit? Damn stupid young punks.
So I’m into the second day of my three day weekend and since I haven’t been at work since Friday I figured my bitching was probably over with for a few days… WRONG. There was a problem that I hadn’t anticipated though. The weather. Starting about 2 this afternoon it started snowing. I was glad about this because all night last night they were predicting that it would be raining and sleeting and that power lines were going to snap and all of that happy shit. They even went as far as to put us under an Ice Storm Warning. In 31 years I have never seen one of those issued for my area so I was paying some attention. Well, today they changed it to a Winter Storm Warning because they weren’t sure what was going to fall. Imagine that, weather people not quite sure what is going to happen… with the weather. So anyway like I said, it started snowing out and I was ecstatic. Then about two hours later I hear the sleet starting to hit the windows and I figure; well now we’re fucked. So far nothing has happened to bad and of course in true Wisconsin weather fashion the whole thing will be over in time for me to go to work again on Monday.
Ah, back to work, I can’t wait let me tell you. If there’s one thing I truly love it’s going back to work when I’m extremely behind. The last two weeks I have been stretched so fucking thin that I think I have put a total of 25 hours in my department in two weeks. So now I have close to a pallet of shippers sitting in the backroom that I will have to bust my ass next week to get out. I told the person that does the schedule that I need some time in my department because I’m falling behind and apparently she had no idea about that. So next week I get to work four days in there and hopefully it will all straighten out in the end.
I found out another wonderful possibility for my job. They are looking at doing a slight remodel in the store where they would be moving all of the shit around in the store. One whole side of my aisle they are looking at getting rid of and they want to put freezers there. When I asked where all of my shit would be going I was told that they didn’t know that part of it yet. Excuse me? You are telling me that all of this shit is going away but you don’t know where to? That’s a little bit hard for me to grasp. If it’s going to just disappear then tell me, but don’t bullshit me, I’m not that fucking stupid. So my current plan is to stick around until March 15th and then I will have accumulated 3 weeks of vacation; then I am free to leave, but not without my 3 weeks of pay.
