Groceries @ MindSay 
Working on my 29 twink rogue, finished my 19 druid healer a couple weeks ago.
Got everything I need so far, just finishing off by leveling up so I can put it all on and rape some clothies.
Also did grocery shopping. Man that needed to get done.
For some reason I bought 6 boxes of different kinds of granola bars, but hey, those are sooo good. And a metric fuckton of noodles and sauce for pastaaaa.
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
Woo. I'm in a good mood today. :)
Ok, first lets just say I'm really aggravated with all the bull shit that went on at work today.
Anywho lets start with this. Everything was go'n along just fine a few weeks ago, I was getting 32 to 40 hours a week, and then dumbass "DM" (a full-time clerk) gets kicked out yet another department cause the manager conveniently forgot to give her hours. So she goes crying to "DT" (customer operations manager) about a lack of hours on her scheadule. Well she gives her hours outside. Great, and where the fuck do they get these hours. Oh take them from ME!
So they take hours away from me , to give to the lazy, no good, company time stealing, piece of dog shit! She's been kicked out of every department she's been in, cause she's outside smoking more then she's in the department working. I mean , come on, I've seen her ass outside as many as 12 times in one eight hour shift smoking her cancer sticks. That's not grounds for termination? I mean if the managers in my store had any balls, they'd fire her ass, but no, they just turn a blind eye to it, and hope the problem goes away.
Ya, now she can walk around outside with it hanging out of her mouth outside. Ya, that makes a customer want to come back to that store everyday. What a fucking joke.
Grrr, that's just the first thing that's getting on my nerves as of late. Now that "DT" no longer works at my store, I'm sure a rookie replacement won't do much better. Although on a plus note this "rookie" isn't writing the schedules. Thank god!
Now, I'll just have to see how my front end manager does with the scheadule writing. All I want, and all I will ever request is 32 - 40 hours every week. I mean how hard is that?, but "DM" is buddy, buddy with her. So we'll see if I again, end up getting the shaft.
So, this bring us to today. Where I was requested to help the peon's from the GM department put a gazebo up over the picnic tables which is called our "smoking area". Which I totally don't agree with at all. I see this as wasting company money on 200 dollar fucking gazebo which should have been sold to some customer! I don't care if they say its "damaged" so , mark it half off, and sell it, but no. Not at my store. They supplied it for themselves to cover the smoking area. Aw, the poor babies might get wet smoking. Awww. wa wa fucking wa !
I don't agree with even providing a smoking area at all. I don't think any company should go out of its way to provide an area for there employee's to do drugs. Granted its not an illegal drug, but still , a drug none the less. Hell, if they wanna do that, why don't they put a fucking beer tap in for the employee that comes in drunk every day. I mean what the hell kind of a company do I work for.
Ya ya, obviously a shitty one.
Anyway, I was requested by a front end lead "CJ" to go help them, and I flat out refused. No fucking way. So after he whimpered at me. I walked outside, I was actually gonna go help them, when something in my head clicked. "NO" I turned around and walking back into the store, and straight to my store mangers office. Where him and myself had a discussion about this. Where he stated that there where 2 of them , from the gm department already over there, and just like me, saw no reason that they would need my help. Although he cautioned me that, saying "NO" to "CJ" the front end lead, could be viewed as insubordination. Grrr... You have no idea how much I hate that fucking word.
I really wanna just go in there and give them a reason to use that word. They wanna throw that word around like its nothing. Alright I'll give them a fucking reason, when I tell "CJ" off in front of everyone! Ya, that should do it.
Lucky for them, and POS customers, I didn't do that today. Anyway, there's always tomorrow. Someday, my self control just might step aside and I'll let some poor smo have it.

So last night at work (Wal-Mart), my first customers of the day were these four people, two men and two women, who were I guess doing their shopping for that month. They had two full buggies (shopping carts, if you prefer) of groceries, and just like anybody else, they were good and ready to go home.
The first lady unloaded her buggy and I started ringing up the stuff and putting it in bags. One of the guys meandered around to the front and loaded up the groceries as they came to him. All four people were cracking jokes the whole time, but the one guy in the front (I think they called him Cecil) kept heckling the lady unloading the groceries and giving her a hard time. I would just chuckle to myself and keep working.
The first lady filled up her buggy and told the second lady she could start loading groceries into her buggy. I guess the first lady went to the restroom or something, cuz I didn't see or hear her for a couple minutes. While she was gone, the assumed Cecil took her buggy and moved it out of the way, against the wall.
When she came back, she looked around and asked him, "Where's my basket? What did you do with my groceries?"
The reply:
"They was in the way, so I moved it. You know how that song goes, 'ya park it like it's hot'? I parked it like you got groceries."
I couldn't help but laugh. I kept thinking to myself, "I know he did NOT just do that!" That was the lamest, most hilarious thing I've ever heard. The other lady, the one with the second buggy, looked at me and asked, "You want him? He's not mine, you can have him. Please, take him home. Do it today." XD
Oh man, that was...wow. :p
~G~
And I discovered a Save a Lot store not too far from here. Their canned goods are much cheaper than at the regular grocery store here. So will be doing some shopping there once a month or so to stock up. That should help some. And I am gonna plant a few things this year. Tomatoes for sure. And a few blueberry vines and raspberry vines. Those probably won't bear this year but next year perhaps will be good. Blueberries are expensive at the store.
I recieved a check from Inboxdollars over the weekend which will help. It's just under 30 bucks so not a huge check. It's enough to get the tags for the new used truck though. At least it is if they haven't changed the cost on that. It was nice to get that as I was about broke again too. And I am liking it a bit better since they changed it a bit. They have made it easier to make money with it. Not sure easier is the right word...simpler maybe. Anyone wanting to get a bit of extra spending money once in a while should check it out.
The next extra money (after bills) that comes in is going on some mulch and potting soils for all the trees and things I am going to be planting and transplanting.
Have a great spring folks! :)
I started unpacking some orders in the freezer, when Bill (my manager) comes to tell me Gina needs help from you on the computer. So I head back to help her and much to my surprise there is a chocolate cake with lit candle. Then everyone starts singing Happy Birthday to me! I was so red-faced. I couldn't stop smiling and my face was totally red! I didn't even know what to say...it was such a good feeling. I really like working there. I've work with so many nice people, it's almost like a great big family.
They gave me a card and everyone there signed it with personalized wishes and thoughts. Not like a standard card where everyone just says "Happy Birthday, So-and-So." It was filled with good luck wishes and heartfelt thoughts. I really was just floored by it all. I was practically speechless. I don't think I've ever felt that good in such a long time.
Gina made me a gluten-free chocolate cake with a strawberry topping. It was absolutely delicious!
My birthday isn't really until the 31st, but since she was going away on vacation she made it early for me. I have to say I really enjoyed that cake. :) I'm so grateful to work in such an awesome grocery store!
Tschuess!
