Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them

Work is very frustrating right now.

I had an argument with a co worler. She's been part time for 12 years , she works weekends and then works at the VA doing claims during the week. She's really knowledgeable.

This is great . She is also super neat and tidy and doesn't like any kind of clutter. This because an issue when we organize the stock room. The way she would like it (and honestly would be the best) is if each style of shoe was on the shelves in their own column.

My manager wants shoes stacked to the tip self and for it to kind of snake up and around. If one column of shoes end the next style goes on top and then when we run out of room it goes on the next shelf.

This can be very confusing to find shoes.

So I decided to try and do what my manager wants since he's the manager but keep separation between brands and colors. To make it easier to find shoes.

It got a bit heated when she kept saying that the managers way means moving shoes all the time when we get new styles and I was saying we stull have to move shoes around if we do it her way.

Which we do. It was her way and I had to love 4 columns of shoes to get one style in. So it's frustrating because I think I handled it badly and I also feel like every weekend she ends up tidying nd orgnzing and I don't mean for her to do that but she's much more efficient than I am and it tends to be a bit slower when she works.

Sorry to vent.

On the other hand we are having a big special event sale tomorrow and did pre sales for it. There is a contest and shoes is kicking butt. If the new girl can make her sales goal tonight we have a chance to be the #1 dept. They are running a contest. But to win everyone in the dept has to make their goal.

I don't know what happens if no dept makes their goal. I guess no winner which sucks. This morning we were at 61% and even if we got to 100% but the new girl missed her goal we wouldn't win.

Today is the birthday of my sweet, talented friend John, who died over a year ago at age 42 basically because he didn't have health insurance. Fuck this country.

I'm sorry, Glam. The greed that rules our bureaucracy is so disheartening.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was about to agree and say that it's been a bad week, and then I realized it only Tuesday.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It is only Tuesday.

As those on Facebook may have seen, I had to put my favorite dog to sleep yesterday, so it's been a pretty damn shitty week, yes indeed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm so sorry about Daisy, Plei.

I am sorry, Plei. It is such a hard decision to have to make.

A family friend that I wasn't very close to but always enjoyed talking to passed away this week. And then I found out someone I knew in high school lost their preemie this week. No hugs for me, but it's been a shitty week for those around me.

And in much pettier news, I thought I could handle two hours alone with ltc today. I was so wrong. So I bribed her with an electronic toy from Christmas that I never let her play with.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Yep, something in the air this week. In addition to my cousin's brain surgery (which is always first, of course, but other bullshit can also weigh you down) - I just had to pay about $2300 to repair my truck, and I discovered termites in my fence and estimates are over $2000 to replace that. And it's only Tuesday.
