This is Texas, it's almost always summer here.

With a little bit of spring/fall thrown in for what others call winter.

With a little bit of spring/fall thrown in for what others call winter.

And possibly that one ice day.

And possibly that one ice day.

Ice can still equate to a spring/fall day for winter... as long as it doesn't t extend beyond 24 hours. That type of weather is atypical or our typically warm state. Why else would our electrical infrastructure be such a failure when it presents itself?

I remember once it snowed quite a bit on Thanksgiving day. That was highly unusual.

Why else would our electrical infrastructure be such a failure when it presents itself?

That was a nightmare.

Bank Holiday weekend and I'm duty manager for all of it! Sun is even out today and I've not been able to enjoy much of it 😥

Sounds rough. 😅

Hi all, hope you have a great weekend!

 

[Cory]

It was the first day of work on the new job last night. Unloaded a truck first and then stocked it. Not nowhere near as much freight as Walmart or Kroger had, I think I may actually enjoy this job with not so much of a workload being put on you every workday.

 

[Ken]

Hey y'all, how's everyone doing?

 

[Cedric]

Hey Ken! How are you?

 

[Ken]

Hey Ken! How are you?

I'm okay after a short nap I had.

 

[Cory]

So, our trucks at Micheals are about 200-300 pieces, one truck a week. Walmart, all trucks combined in one day, every day were like 4000-5000 pieces.

Sounds like you like your new job better than Walmart Cory! I don't blame you, I used to work at Walmart too but I started working at a factory four years ago. I love my job!

Granted, I currently don't get as many hours or pay, but the workload is so much less than at Walmart that it is less stressful. Walmart especially during the holidays is just pure madness!

Indeed it is! I was lucky enough not to work during the Black Friday event the entire time I worked there. I had to once, but my coworker was nice enough to let me switch with him. The days I was scheduled to work on Thanksgiving it was boring since they hardly ever had me help set up. I had to stock the dairy department just in case people needed to come in and get last minute stuff.

 

[Cory]

I think I worked Black Friday twice. Once that I can remember that was overnight and once possibly in the daytime. I got lucky and usually didn't get scheduled on Black Friday for the duration of working there.

Happy Sunday all, and Happy Easter if you are celebrating it. Had a bit of down time today which has been nice, done some food shopping and a little bit of novice baking. Will be cooking dinner shortly, going to have some gammon.

Good afternoon, happy Sunday to all. Have a nice stay with family/friends
