Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Thrive to spite them

Karl i like that.

I feel like I've got no energy and I've been worried...is it something weird and medical ? Is it depression? Is it perimenopause/menopause (if i make it to October that will make 12 months no period).

Or is it that when it hasnt been ungodly hot it's been ungodly humid. At work we haven't had an overnight team lead in almost 3 months and overnight workers aren't even trying. So most days instead of doing most of my job I end up cleaning up their freight. We also have 3 people on medical leave, 2 people in the same department got fired. And there has been no one to work picking grocey orders on most days between 2-5 . And there have been call outs so some days all I do is pick groceries. And try to get my stuff done as fast as possible.

We have one assistant manager who has gone from kind useless to completely useless . And today i was putting out leftover freight but have gotten side tracked because everything is wrong and I'm having to check counts and move things around.

So maybe I'm just getting overheated at work and fed up with dealing with all this and when I'm off I don't want to deal with people and self soothe amd relax..

Occam's Razor suggests this one, askye. Although perimenopause/menopause is no joke. I'm currently listening to the 3-part Ologies podcast about menopause, and it is full of good info: [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That all sounds exhausting, askye. But could be piled on top of the perimenopause thing to be even worse.

Steph I'll have to chsck that out.

A lot of it is just mentally exhausting and the store manager thst just left was good in a lot of ways but not in holding certain people accountable. I'm hoping that our next manager will be firm but kind and because it's not just me that is feeling overwhelmed with all of this.

I know previous store manager told someone in the meat department they needed to help in produce and the guy just...refused.

In good news M and I finally have some rails set up on the walls so we can display more comics. It looks really good.
