HI.
Well, I made it through a very long 7 hr shift. I didnt know 7 hours could feel like 20. Im not used to standing in one spot for so long. Hell, I dont even stand that long when I do dishes. I need to be mobile. Move around a little bit.
I dont know how many times I fucked up, but I know it was too many to count. I was ringing up cilantro when it should have been parsley. Who knows 10 different kinds of lettuce? I DONT! I found myself at points just laughing. Out loud. It was funny and I couldnt help it. I would ask the customer what kind of lettuce it was, and they had no clue. I dont get it. Are they just buying 'what looks good'? People are funny.
For whatever reason, some dumb ass thinks that after 5 hours of training, I should know everything. I warned them that I had forgotten pretty much everything since last Thursday. They figured as much. I dont get it and I dont really care. I did the best I could and I thought I was awesome.
So, when I worked at Target, if I worked an 8 hr shift, I received a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks. At this place for the 7 hours that I worked, I received two 15 minute breaks. Does this seem right?? It sure didnt seem right to me. When I questioned it, they said thats just the way it is. Who do I call??
I quickly made an observation that people buy a lot of bananas. I swear, 4 out of 5 people that I rang up yesterday were buying bananas. Are they that good for you??
Bottom line.....is this job going to work out for me? Probably not. Im searching, again.
Eric, Eric, Eric.
Daily, I ask myself why I love him so much. My answer is.....I just do. I came to realize that my life wouldnt be complete without him. He drives me crazy with all the weird little things that he does.
For instance...
His blog about the TV. 500 channels that he doent miss flipping through. If you dont like flipping through them, then why do you have so many? I know, I will never understand. Its a guy thing to have every damn channel on a TV that is bigger than a car.
He left to go home a few days ago and I miss him so very much. Im not complete without him here. Ive become a slug. I feel depressed and lonely.
There is something about him that makes me a better person. Im happy when Im with him. Its crazy to me how much he loves me. His love for me is.... I dont know what to say.
I miss my sappy man. *sigh*
Thats all I got for now. Im still going to post that photo of Trav in his new 'jacket'. Give me an ounce of patience on that one.
Peace Out.....

10 types of lettuce? Sheesh, to me they're all the same... ;)
I'm not complete without you, and you know it.
I will return soon, my love...
What's lettuce?
It's green stuff, Rene.
They put it on burgers.
Oh ... OK ... *grin*
The difference in the time from 8 to 7 has to do with HR laws. You may want to look up HRCs (Human Resources Codes) in your state, but most I am aware of call for a 15 minute break in a 4 hour period - so 2 15 minute breaks in a 7 hour period would make them compliant with the "letter of the law" - once it hits 8 hours, they're required to give you a minimum of a 30 minute lunch break. There are variables, but that's the relative standard.
Beyond that, I know of 4 types of lettuce...not 10. ...ten?! Really? Wow.
Hang in there girl, he'll be there soon, and won't leave again (yay!).
funny...I just bought a great salad mix at the farmer's market last week that had a good 5 varieties or so in it. mmm. I'd memorize one or two types of greens and go with that if they don't know what they're buying.
Bananas are great (not just good) for you and I buy them every shopping trip. (There's always banana bread if you get too many).
Prosey already gave you a response on your hours. Good luck - be a squeaky wheel.
hang in there!
