Daily Grind

I have the morning off but have to be at work at 1:45 today. The really bad news is that I have to train a couple of new cashiers today. That means for me that I do the job today and they both just stand there and me do it. As I am doing my said job I also have to explain it step by step to them as I go. So basically what I am saying is that today really ought to be a hoot for me. One of the people I am training is a new hire and one of them is transferring from another position in the company. The transfer is a person that I am not very fond of to say the least. This person was very rude to me in her former position and now here she is wanting to learn how to do my job and I am the one to teach it to her. I am just saying that be careful who you are rude cause just always remember Carma is a Bitch.

New Job

I recently started working a new job. I have to be honest it has not been easy for me. I have always made my living working in an office sitting all day long at a desk. The job I have taken is working at a restaurant as a cashier. I am standing for my entire shift behind the register. It has been quite an adjustment for me. I am finally to the point where my back doesn't kill me while I am working. I know remember why I always told my daughters that it was much easier making my living sitting on your butt than standing on your feet. But the way the economy is now days I have to be honest you just do what you have to do to work and get a paycheck at the end of the week.

TGIF

Thank God it's Friday. I think I would just fall over in a dead faint if someone were to tell me today was not Friday. It has really been a rough day at work. I am only going to be there for two more weeks, so I am trying to get all of the daily work done. Plus tie up any loose ends that happen to be around. But today is Friday and it is a good day. Today is payday!!! That is always good and on Friday we get soft pretzels delivered to us. The only way they could be better is if I could eat them as soon as they come out of the oven but since that isn't possible they are still at least soft when we get them. So I take what I can get.

I work therefore I am tired

Well we get ready to work the second job for 15 straight days. That is on top of me working every day at my full time job. But right now we are so needing the extra money it is not funny. I have to be honest I have no desire to get off work every evening and then go to the second job. What we do is we do polling work on the phone. Sometimes the polls we take are sort of interesting and some times...... well, lets just say they are down right boring to say the least. So since we have to do this one for 2 straight weeks I am really hoping that this one is not dull and boring. Cause I just might lose my mind or at least what I have left of it. Cause right now I have to be honest and say that I don't think I have much mind left to lose. I wanted to just rest and relax yesterday but we left here early in the morning and didn't get back home until about 5:00 PM we had to get some things done before the long run at work for the next two weeks. I had to pick up some little things for the kids for Christmas so that one day Randy can get that box sent off to Florida so that when Christmas is here they will have it. I think our last evening working will be December 22nd so that would leave no other time to get the Christmas things done. So just wish me luck that I make it through the next two weeks.

Couch Potato

Today is Sunday and I have now been off work for 4 days due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. I don't understand why 4 days off work seem to go much faster than 4 days at work but trust me they do. Don't get me wrong as far as jobs go I like my job I just don't like working. If you know what I mean. But today I have done absolutely nothing. I know I should have done something like clean house or something productive. But I have not even gotten out of my PJ's all day. But the way I figure it the house work will all still be here tomorrow when I get home from work. I know I have to get things done this week because starting Saturday I will be working my second job for 16 straight evenings. That means I will work everyday at work for almost 9 hours. Leaving work at 5:00 PM and arriving at the second job at 5:30 (I will eat supper in the car on the way to work) and work that job until 9:00 PM every evening. I know after that much time I will be glad I took today to just be a couch potato.

Tired Tired Tired

My grandmother used to have a saying and I guess it is not to bad for me to put on my blog. When she was tired she used to say "I am so turd tired that I could fart faint". Well, that is the way I feel this evening. I worked today on a merchandising crew helping to reset merchandise in a grocery store and I guess I am not used to it cause I am exhausted to say the least. I am doing it again tomorrow so it is now 4:13 PM in the afternoon. So I am thinking that if I am in bed by oh say 4:30 PM maybe I will be rested up for tomorrow. Who knows?

Why am I tired

Why am I tired

The population of this country is 237 million.
104 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that
leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
