Been a while

OK, so I’m back again.

At least I think I am. I’m just so tired all the time now.

Bought, played, and beat Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Yes, I’m a little behind but I got it in a bin at Walmart for $8. Don’t you folks that paid $50 for it feel silly now?

Had a really strange and slightly violent dream a week or so ago. I was in some sort of restaurant, not sure what kind, and I was walking up to the pick-up window/counter area and I saw three guys with guns, one of them on my side of the counter, the other two behind. The guy on my side of the counter is leaning on it, his weight on his hands and the gun under one of them. I tapped him on the shoulder and said, "excuse me" and as he stood up I took his gun and used it as a hammer to smash his hand, breaking most of the bones in it. One down, two to go. I spoke loud enough for the men behind the counter to hear me and told them they couldn’t be back there while the place was open, it was a health and safety violation. The one on the left asked what I was going to do about it and I shot him in the chest. I turned to the other guy, started to repeat about the health and safety thing and he started running away, so I shouted,"thank-you" and went on about my business. Go figure.

Got yelled at on the morning of Easter Sunday. It was for something I didn’t even do. As a matter of fact, it turns out I got yelled at for something that didn’t even actually happen. Wow. That was a little demoralizing.

Pretty sure I’ve lost all hope of trusting Facility Manager ever again. I’m not sure if he has side-effect issues with medication, a brain tumor, or he is just determined that anything I do is wrong. We were walking the back room Wednesday morning, and there was a half-pallet of Slim-Fast on the floor. It was all that was left of the massive amount we’d gotten in the night before. I made sure my stocker filled the display it was for since it was near-empty and this was what wouldn’t go. The reason that’s important is we had walked past the display (rather a large one) in the course of the tour, and Facility Manager demanded to know why we didn’t fill the display of Slim-Fast on the salesfloor. I asserted that it was full, and he denied it. Said we’d just walked past it and it was empty. Fortunately the new Senior Manager was walking with us and backed me up. Facility Manager made a point of saying he’d check on it after the tour. In the next area of the back room he found some boxes marked "over stock" and asked if I’d checked them. I told him yes, I had, they were actually over stock. He said that we’d see about that, told each of the four of us to carry a box to the floor and he personally checked them again. All of it went right back to the back room because it really was over stock. Asshole.

I’m probably going to be looking for a lateral move pretty soon, but they just promoted a bunch of people to management trainee so there may not be any openings.

Did I mention that Plants vs Zombies is the best $20 I ever spent? K wanted it because she played a demo when she was at work with Critter one day. I told her I’d buy it for her if my laptop would run it, so after I checked I bought it and it’s just brilliant. She loves it too.

I had to watch her the other day on a work day, and she was such a little angel! I went to pick her up about 1330, and made her some oatmeal, put some milk in one of her cups for her, and told her I had to go back to sleep but she could come get me if she needed to. I never heard a peep until Critter came to pick her up and K told her, "shhh! ToyMan sleeping!"
