14. The Next Chapter

Not me, Facility Manager. Apparently he didn't get told the end of month/end of year inventory for my area got changed to today from Monday. My folks came in early to count and he stopped them. STOPPED THEM! the most important count of the year and he stopped them. They didn't get started again u...

No, really, I did. That's not hyperbole, I nearly fell over while walking with the Department of Agriculture. I ate breakfast, not much of one but I did eat. Carla bought me an orange juice and it didn't help. As a matter of fact I almost threw it up but managed to keep it dow...

I need to get out more. I need to start walking again. The 1.2 miles to the church and back would be a good, if brutal, way to start. I can alternate that with walking the park path along the riverfront in town, it's about the same length round trip. I am going back to overnights starti...

Home now. Got to come back last night, and I'm stuck here. The first hill I have to get up is still icy. I slid most of the way down coming home. I tried to get out today, just to make a quick run to the store and couldn't. I didn't feel like wrestling the chains on…

Yeah, it was rough getting in. I forgot to mention the hike to the truck also entails an upward change in elevation of 135 feet and some change (got to love RunKeeper) and that's a *lot* for a guy as out of shape as I am. I really should do something about that. So anyway,…

We got near-record snowfall at my place again. The most accumulation since the Blizzard of '93, or so they say. There were Walmarts that closed. Seriously, it was that bad. I've never heard of a twenty-four hour Walmart being closed before except on Christmas. Freaky. I really want to write but I...

Just to clarify, I don't look for reasons to miss work, and if I miss work due to something I could have prevented then I'll gladly make up that time. I sounded a little grouchy last time. I did a little digging, and no one, repeat, no one worked any extra days or time last week, s...

Yeah. the boss questions my commitment to the store and my job because I was snowed in. He was most concerned that he didn't get a reply from me after he sent me the previously mentioned text saying I needed to be there the next day. The text in which he neglected to ask if I was i...

I go back to work tomorrow. I've heard the most spectacular things about me while I was out. The general consensus is that I totaled my truck and am in the hospital. There is still a debate as to whether I am conscious and/or in traction. OMG. And the sad thing is any one of the ot...

Forgive the quality, I only had my phone with me since my camera is playing hide & seek at the moment.
