I’ve noticed that my new position at work has really taken its toll on my dedication to the internet. What am I doing now, like a blog every other week? However, I do believe that I am adjusted to waking up early every day. In fact I’m too accustomed to it because it happens even when I have a day off… whenever in the fuck that happens. Oh wait, that will be happening starting tomorrow whenever I jet out of there and will continue through Monday. That’s right, I’m getting a three day weekend. I’m going down to Warren’s Wisconsin again. Let’s do a quick history lesson here. I went to Warren’s a few years ago and we got hit by a nasty ass thunderstorm with pounding rains and hail. Last year Warren’s got hit by a tornado; and now this year I’m going back there. I’ll tell you what, if it so much as fucking thunders; I’m done camping forever… at least until Jayco invents a camper with a basement in it.
Speaking of work, or bitching of work, however the story may go… it’s been going surprisingly well. We are going to have a major reset within a month and I can’t wait. From everything I’ve seen so far of the plans, the entire layout looks pretty good and makes a lot more sense than our current layout. I’m still not too enthused about the fact everyone thinks I should still be ready willing and able to do my old job. I just want to say “hey look fuckers, if I could handle both jobs I wouldn’t be getting over 40 hours just doing this one.” See what you did; now you got me all pissy and I’m going to start bitching. Couldn’t resist could you? Yesterday we got all new checkout racks. You know the ones that all your favorite stupid magazines are on? Well this was supposed to happen on Friday, you know tomorrow? Well, I get a call at home Tuesday night letting me know that they would be setting it up on Wednesday instead and they would need the tags in the morning. Well no sweat because I go in two hours earlier than the store opens so I can handle that. Well there were two planograms for the racks, one for the candy side and one for the general merchandise side. In the morning when the crew got there I gave them all the tags that they needed. They had the candy finished on one of them and were going to wheel it up front and I asked what they were putting on the GM side and they didn’t know. They actually told me that there was no planogram for that side, so I had to print a new planogram and give it to them. We also had a big to do at work yesterday outside with a cookout and all, so the store was filled with people. I decided to jet early because it’s very hard to do stuff in the aisles when you are answering every fucking question under the sun. I left around 11am and I decided to go in at 3am today, because it’s my only chance at sanity when I’m alone. Of course I come in and guess what I see right away? They didn’t put a fucking thing on the pegboard side. Imagine that shit. Life is grand.
I signed up for digital cable and high speed internet a couple days ago. I’ve had a cable modem for over 5 years now, but I was at the 300kbs service and now I’ve got the 3mbs service. It’s rather noticeable when you download something. I also did have cable TV, but not any of the pay channels like HBO, Cinemax or Starz. Well last night I was flipping through the channels and Shrek 2 was on so I decided to watch that since I saw the first one and liked it. Well, since I work so early I ended up dozing off in the middle of Shrek 2 and woke up to people fucking… ahh, the glory of pay TV.
