YAY Condo closing!

I'm in Second Life and a group started discussing Firefly -- one person said "wasn't it in black and white" and when the reply is no someone else popped up --but it's old! and then someone mentioned that there is talk of a reboot and someone said this " All the fans would cry if the original cast wasn't involved. But the original cast are now in their 80s."

And that person can't be really young because their avatar is 17 years old...

Work was another tough day. Overnight left the dairy cooler in a mess. The past several days all I've done is run their leftover freight or the dairy items they didn't pull over night to put out and I've barely been able to do anything I'm supposed to.

New manager starts Tuesday so hopefully he can get some things in line. Because we are all tired and worn down and we can't get our stuff done because live freight has to go out and everything that overnight leaves is live freight. The past 2 weeks we've been behind and running late on everything. And I hear from some people "oh they are short handed" or how hard it is for overnight and they have so much stuff to do. They don't deal with customers.

And also this week no one can FIND anything. I've had so many customers come up to me and ask where something is and swear up and down they've looked everywhere and can't find it. Or stop me and ask for help to find things and it's right in front of their faces. For example someone stopped me because they couldn't find ... I don't remember what ...and I reached next to them and pulled the item off the shelf. Plus people wanted to be rude about how things are difficult to find. It happened so many times I just started saying "let me know if I can help you with anything, things have moved around because of the remodel but we should be finished in a month!" just so I didn't have to hear variations of " *huffy breath* I can't find anything! You've moved everything! y'all just do that to mess with us and make us search through everything and buy more!"

Ugh, sorry the remodel is making things so annoying, askye, and I hope your new manager is a good one.

Pix & ND -- yay for condo close! What a relief.

DH has decided to delve into a really good Indian cookbook I've had for years (and never used), and I am reaping the benefits! Really tasty chicken thing and also a fish biryani today. Yum.

Happy birthday to smonster and Sophia!

Our wings are not tired.

The best part of making your own Indian food is the lovely aromas in the home. Mmmmm

And also this week no one can FIND anything.

Ugh. Not cool to be rude to the workers. Sometimes I can't find stuff, but I know it is because I am not seeing what is in front of me and appreciate the help finding the item.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The condo closed this morning.

CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats on the condo closing, Pix! Feel better, Steph.

Ok, I came across this on Reddit and it involves TVTropes, so I guess that's the trigger warning.

I don't know of this will cause a jump in viewers here or anything, but I wanted to give a heads up.

Thanks for the advance warning, Nora.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's been....a week. Had my first visit with the new doctor.(They did a fasting blood draw, so I go back on the 30th for results and a physical.) Had my mammogram.

I have a COVID shot scheduled for next Saturday, and a flu shot(at work) scheduled for 10/10. Next up:a shingles shot.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Right there with you, Jess.

Still infuriates me too. I keep hoping it'll lessen.
