I want to thank all my friends here on LiveJournal and on facebook (I cross post) who has shown their concern over my job loss.  You guys are the best!

I do have to admit, I forget that there are more than the couple of people who read my journal and facebook postings regularly that are starting to read my various ramblings, so there are a few of ( Read more... )

I never dreamed that this would ever happen to me.  I was fired today.  I know I wasn't fond of my job but it was income.  I worked extra hard and did the very best I could, but apparently 110% wasn't good enough.  They found excuses such as I wasn't going fast enough (never mind the fact that I was called constantly to the front end for various ( Read more... )

(Imagine traditional calliope circus music playing in the background...)

Hurry, hurry, hurry!  Step right up folks and witness the weird and the wondrous!  Come see the Amazing Leopard Girl!  Are those spots real or are they fake, you be the judge!  And Pincushion Face Boy!  Just how many places can he find on his face to stick things?  And let us ( Read more... )

I have had so much on my mind the past few days. Some of it I was willing to share, and some that a herd of wild horses couldn't drag out of me...at least not yet. I have been able to deal with all of it okay, but the latest thing I have heard is the icing on the f***ing cake.

I have been employed at the same place for 15 years. I have done nearly ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm taking it easy today and sluffing off at work. Now don't worry, I'm still getting my work done. I'm just not breaking my neck to do it ( Read more... )

Ah another too busy day at work thanks to even more cold weather and another layer (predicted 6 inches this time) of snow to go on top of the stuff we already have.  I am still baffled at peoples behaviour when the word snow is barely whispered.  One would think that by now everybody should be used to the amount of snow we have gotten that another ( Read more... )

The Thanksgiving holiday is just a few days away and I thought that this would be a good time to do a holiday post. Now don't worry, I am not going to bore you with a "what I am thankful for" list. Been there, done that, ain't doin' it again. If you guys don't know what I am thankful for by now then you don't know me very well ( Read more... )

Today was not only a day of saying goodbye but one of saying hello as well.

This was the BBM's official final day as owner as well as being the first official day for the new owners.  The whole idea of this change felt like an unpleasant dream.  No matter what I thought of our BBM at times, all in all he really wasn't that bad of a boss.  Sure there ( Read more... )

Well, it sounds as though my mother's son is back to being a pest again.  It's funny, I can go blissfully month after month without seeing hide nor hair of him, plus nobody runs up to me asking me questions about him or telling me of his drunken antics, then all of a sudden he either shows up at work or somebody has to ask or tell me something ( Read more... )

As the takeover at the store is getting closer, I am actually starting to feel a little more anxious about it.   Not so much from the takeover itself...been there done that, but it's just the idea of change.

I know that it can't possibly get any worse, but I had found out that our manager will be leaving us just before the takeover is final.  It is ( Read more... )
