Hehehehehe, life is fun, seriously.All day has been kinda strange,mainly because it was one of those days where you think it is Thursday,get paid tomorrow,and then you realize its Wednesday. I really did run out of coffe and cigs will be out tomorrow,but, it is ok,no shame in my game, will borrow a few bucks or ask my mom for some coffee. Hehehehe, she loves when i need her or need some help,and i get a kick out of her, and her actions.I have been trying harder to develop a better relationship, besides now ,i am beginning to understand life a little more,and perhaps,maybe realizing, life is not always the way we would like it to be.Now, that does not mean we can not find some humor or enjoyment,even when things are not so good.i am enjoying myself writing this post,though, i had thought about going out to shoot some pool tonight.Of course that was when i thought today was Thursday this is kinda fun,no direction,just me ,my thoughts, and some awesome music. Soooooooooo,oh yeah the vacuum cleaner works!!!!! It stopped working about a month ago, tried different outlets, no luck,pet hair driving me nuts, and it was depressing too.made me feel as if the house was nasty,even when i cleaned. I was looking around my office,room whatever you call it and on a whim plugged in the vac, sucker came on, in a loud way,spooked me while installing a moment of amazement,coupled with unbelief. Hell, yeah,i plugged that red beast in and rodeoed all over the carpet. Poor pets, it had been so long since they heard that noise, they scattered in different directions,while the vac and i carved a swath of clean through the jungle of pet fur,on the carpet.The wonder of watching the carpet beginning to unveil itself in colors of royal burgundy,dark blue,curves of white,and the grey blue of a choppy sea. Sweet!!!!!!!!, and i know i am not supposed to admit it,but, watching the cat and dog tumbling over one another in an effort to avoid me in this wondrous event,made me laugh.Fun for all.
Last night,finally started strips for Express Lane, did the store in Bristol, 92, now that was an event. Started at 7 got done about 4, so many displays to move and that tar stuff they had used to redo the parking lot,what a joyous mess.No lie, intimated at first because i wanted it to look good and not cut any edges but, honestly that floor was rough.Getting started was not too bad except for the displays, i had to keep shifting from one spot to another a couple of times, . If i had another person could have moved everything to the main aisles, and it would have gone much quicker, but thats ok,time is something i do have.Finished all of the center, leaving me just the main entrance aisle and cooler aisle.Then things got nuts,naturally, first the deli lady, tells me she has to do inventory,and she is going to wait till i am done.i told her she had complete access to the store and that i would start on front,she kept insisting she would just wait, hell, part of the job is to make sure customers have access, and here she is trying to use me as an excuse not o do her job.Then when i start on the front the clerk and deli lady are telling me to put a sign on the door to keep out the customers.I try to tell them the customers can come in the one door and we can still ring up merchandise.Oh, no, they will track up the floor and the D.M. will be upset.Now i know better, Express Lane takes care of the customer first, we work around the customer. Hell, no customers, no Express Lane, no job,sometimes i really wonder about people,bitch about pay,not enough hours,and then do something stupid like that. I get it all done,had to rip their little sign off the door,after we lost a customer who wanted some coffee,that shit pisses me off. I tried to let him in and those women were no, no, noing, me to death. Eventually i did get it done,and loaded up the front and cooler aisles with sealer and wax.The only thing i was upset about was my electric burnisher has been down for while, and the propane i am not allowed to use, so could not burnish it out.With as much wax as I put on there, we would have been looking at a sheet of glass, No dresses allowed, hehehehe. I even thought of going back tonight, do behind the counter,another 50 bucks and then buff the floor out, unfortunately no money for gas, maybe this weekend,we shall see.
Wal-Mart, I actually dropped off one of my company envelopes, now to try and talk to the manager.Slowly, but surely, I am becoming more confident, in selling myself. Being shy,thinking too much,and over thinking myself before I get in the door kills me, I am truly mine own worst enemy.For years people have been trying to get me to talk with them, to no avail. Now, it may be too late ,but i am gonna try.
What else is on my mind? Well there are somethings I try to deal with, the other day i was watching a movie dont remember which one,and someone made the statement (Being any kind of happy,is better then being miserable, about someone you cant have.) . that threw all kinds of thoughts in my head, of course it did not change anything, just gave me something to contemplate.
To end on a more positive outlook,on my way to Express Lane store 20 in Tallahassee, I stopped at one of the former Express Lane stores and I may get the contract, I also contacted the company in charge of doing the Dollar Stores,now we will just have to wait and see. At any rate ,with more effort ,comes the possibilty of greater rewards, so endeavor i shall. Thats a wrap and lots of love to all,ttyl,me.
