I thought I was over the queasiness during my day last day off (got some kind of stomach bug that made me feel like a squeeze bottle. Then today when I went to work I had dizzy spells and spent a good portion of the evening walking from my section …
Yesterday I witnessed quite an interesting performance. I was summoned to help someone put together a shoe table since well, the materials are rather heavy but pretty simple to put together once you have a basic understanding of insert figure a into slot b. For reasons unknown the person I …
Tonight as I was coming back from my lunchbreak I caught up with an old friend of the family who happens to work at the store. He’s a nice guy, although over the last few years I think he has been showing signs of dementia. He rambles outloud from time …
Normally January is a terrible month for work since most of the spending was done between Black Friday and Christmas Eve. Ever since the start of the new year though it’s been absolutely terrible. Next week I only get 13.5 hours of work. I’ve never had my hours cut that …
