General:  I slept in today.  Didn't have to be to work until 330, so I slept in.  It felt wonderful.  Thus, the no breakfast or first snack thing.  The dinner was one of those Great Value things from Walmart that Daddy picked up.  Wasn't all that impressed, really.  The noodles were way overdone (think mush) and just a bit of spice from the pepperoni, but it wasn't a nice spice, it was a "HEY LOOKIT ME" spice.  Which I don't like.  All in all, eh.  So I settled for some tostitos and guacamole.  Had a serving of both and I was satisfied.

Must say, that Larabar was fantastic.  I was starting to get a little hungry by the time my break rolled around (630 grrr), and having that in my pocket was just the thing that I needed.  Maybe that was why I wasn't so bad off for dinner tonight.  Perhaps this is the answer.

Unfortunately, I forgot to buy eggs on my way out of work this evening, so I will have to do that tomorrow.  That way I can have eggs for breakfast, snacks at work, and then a light dinner like a salad when I get home.  That might actually help me a little. 

Have not tried the exercise dvds yet.  Will hopefully be doing so on wednesday, when I don't have to work til later and the Olympics aren't on in the afternoon.  Also, depending on the weather, I might try to take my new bike out of the garage (hahaha) on thursday or friday and take it for a spin around the block. would be nice to get back into riding.  Who knows, if I get really good at the bike riding, maybe I won't even need a car in Kiwiland. 

Speaking of, Hey there Kiwi.  I know you're reading this.  I love you.  You are my every inspiration.

back to the program.

Why is it that when people get the title of "Supervisor" they become stupid, incompetent, or both?  How can you even dare to call yourself a Front end Supervisor when you can't even manage to get people out for their breaks?  Sure, we were a little busy.  Nothing like we were the last few nights.  Sure you were the only one there, but so have the other CSMs had nights when they're by themselves and they manage.  But if you can't manage to get 2 cashiers their change at the same time and carry it to them at the same time, while also telling another cashier to take their break, then you should NOT be the Supervisor.  MULTITASKING.  Learn it.

My break was not until 630 tonight.  I started at 330.  Granted, I personally do not care, as this gives me less time at the end of my night.  But, after 3 hours of standing in one spot and doing the repetitive motion of scanning items across a laser grid, a person gets tired and needs to move around.   I finally gave up on trying to get the Supervisor's (CSS's) attention and decided to go ahead and take my break for myself.  that was when she came running up to me with the pennies and dimes I had ordered (thirty minutes earlier, thank gods we weren't busy).  I told her that I needed to take my break, it had been 3 hours, and she just gave me a blank stare and walked off.

Ugghh.

I can understand being stupid.  I can understand being incompetent. Lord knows there are plenty of Walmart employees that fit both of those requirements.  But, when you start elevating those people to management positions, is when I get irritated.

Almost a full shift tomorrow, or as close to a full shift as they ever give me anymore.  and then another on wednesday and then I'm off for 2 days.  don't know about after that, they haven't posted the new schedule yet.  Fun!

Right, bedtime.  g'night all three people who are reading this, maybe four.
