Hi everyone...picked up a cold from my little grandson. Nothing serious, just annoying!
I took it as a good reason to lay on the couch and watch a Christmas movie this afternoon. (The Christmas Card)
It felt kind of naughty to just chill like that, but boy...did I need it!
I'll spend some time catching up on your posts tonight.
Have a great evening all!

Even if I am ill I think it's a delcious little pleasure!

another day done and .......
well, another day done.

Not very busy today at work, strange happenings, but funny, most of them. My right shoulder is very sore again, must have twisted it wrong or something. Cut two fingers at work. Forgot to give cash back twice (caught it right away ) had one lady mad at me because I wanted her to empty her basket on the counter. (you know those ones customers can carry for shopping rather than using a cart), asked me why I was working there if I was not capable of taking her items out of it myself. I am cleaning close to my till, keeping an eye on customers in case I am needed when supervisor gets on the load speaker and tells me to go to my till. At least that got all the cashiers and some customers laughing as I was right there! So I went and stood by my till, no customers to serve. Another cashier turned and wanted to know how long I planed to stay there with nothing to do. LOL
So, I am glad to be home.

How was your day?

Sounds like they don't have very productive processes in place. Oh well, I'm glad you see the funny side. I was asked to empty my basket too and I was wondering why we do that but the cashier was too grumpy for me ask. I know your shoulder is sore but why do we empty the basket?

We ask you to empty it because it is easier and faster for the cashier to process your order . If we had to reach into 10 baskets every shift, in a 40 hour week that would be 400 baskets. It is hard on the shoulder to reach up and in those things, part of reason mine is sore. If you had a cart you would take items out, a basket is no different. So be kind to your cashier and take a moment to empty it and make their job easier !

Absolutely! I knew there was a reason and I empty my basket automatically now. The cashier must have had a run of ignorant people like me and she didn't ask... she demanded. She was very short like me so it must put a lot of strain on backs as well. I'm pretty intimidated when I think I've upset someone. I like to help too so thanks for helping me understand.

Lovely! I think you should buy it OR put it on your wishlist for Christmas.

I am leaning to put it on my Father's Day gift list. cheesy

Sooner the better!

That sucks. I don't blame you for feeling that way. I really hope you can meet soon so you can put your mind at ease. Are you still looking around for another job? I can understand why! You deserve better !

I am still looking, I just don't know what to look for, I would love to get out of retail altogether.

My supervisor actually called and put me on call, so hopefully I'll end up on getting a good nights sleep!

That's a perfect idea!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

Woof. At noon yesterday I was suddenly beset by fever & chills. I went home, got in the bed, and didn't get up until 9 this morning. I came to work, but I'm still a little dizzy. And it 40° and raining, to boot. Blech.

I would have taken today off, too, but the boss is out of town and I'm still bucking for that promotion. We'll see, eh?

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I hope you're feeling better.

I'll see you in the morning!
Goodnight MMC!

I love that one too. I believe that's one of the one's they will show on Boomerang at Christmas time. The kids and I love to watch it. I say get it!

Boomerang always shows at Christmas, unfortunately Comcast doesn't carry the channel. I loved the cartoons Boomerang shows at Christmastime.

Happy Thursday, everyone! It's Lent again (already!), which means I'm already craving the chocolate that I gave up until Easter. :sad:

I work in a Doctor's office, and since a lot of the diagnostic numbers and forms are changing, we're getting new computers! We're so excited, as we're still using XP, which was getting sort of slow with the newer programs. So we decided on laptops for this time around, and shopped for the best prices (there are only 3 of us on computers, and we're all shopaholics). This morning, Yours Truly had the pleasure of commandeering the boss's credit card and making the purchases. They ran thus;

3 Toshiba Laptops; $1866.63
2 Claim Programs; $790.00
New Forms; $70.00 (for 1,000)

GRAND TOTAL; $2726.63

BONUS! Secretary getting a bug in her bonnet and calling Hubby to tell him she just spent 2800 dollars (and NOT telling him it wasn't his money).......

PRICELESS!

I am so evil today! :mrgreen:

Sounds like fun.

:lol:
