Pinned!!

I guess I missed all the fun at work .. LOL...

Supposedly a Challenge was given to 2nd and 3rd shift Instock.. 2nd shift was to bring out the Grocery palettes and down stack them to the correct aisle... then the 3rd shift would go aisle by aisle and stock the stuff we down stacked to the middle of the aisles close to where the stuff goes on the shelves... as they did that the Palettes were taken back to the back so 3rd shift had no palettes to put stuff on... they were given no choice but to put any Over stock in the Grocery Bin (the holding shelves back in the back where overstock is kept)

So at today's Meeting our Store Manager "T" asked who was there last night.. of coarse I had that night off LOL... those who were there and helped downstack got "Team Player" pins.... At Wal-mart Pins are kewl ... alot of people have them... Most are bought but we sometimes get them from the Store Manager for some reason.. like they did today...

Anyways later on when we got back to the truck we were finishing up after the meeting one of my fellow Instock peoples (the one me and Mom call "Giggles" cause he's always laughing) came up to me and handed me his "Team Player" pin... said he didn't want it... That I'm always doing the Break Packs and such...   first thing to come to mind... "awwwww...." and of coarse I thanked him....   I waited awhile before I attached it to my badge as I didn't want ms. Temper tandrum to pitch a fit over it....

::rolls eyes::   oh yeah... eggggg Ms. Temper Tandrum was driving me crazy today... usually I let things just roll off me...  that old saying.."in one ear out the other".. Well sometimes I just can't stand it and I end up talking back to her or make comments about her comments which makes her even grumpier....  she can't stand it...I've noticed that when comments are made about the ISS group as a Whole I seem to not be grouped in with them... as when I make a comment I'm told either she wasn't talking TO me or ABOUT me... well 1) she wasn't naming names... and 2) she was complaining about the ISS group (oh yeah by the way she's on the ISS team for 2nd shift also)... And she had her bopsie twin there....  The "Twin" (personaily wise they are kinda alike) had been away for a week on vacation... boy was it sorta quiet at work... anyways they were back there raising cane like always...

They wouldn't leave the Freezer King alone... poor freezer King found a slick spot in freezer and promptly fell down... ended up hitting his shoulder, neck and head on the way down...  after that he's been on light duty for several weeks... mostly answering phones or greeting at the doors... today he was back to being able to lift anything... no weight restrictions but he can't pull any palettes yet...  everyone watches him like a hawk.. some like to rub it in his face....and a few are counting down the day he can pull palettes... they wanna see him pull a zillion palettes.. ::rolls eyes::  geez nice bunch I work with huh??  Mostly it's "Grumpy" who is counting down the days... figures Freezer King is milking it for all it's worth... they grumble about him and his girlfriend (who also works at Wallie World as a cashier).. that they live inside of each others pockets and can't understand how they can do it.. shouldn't they need their space and such... like it's any of their business... and of coarse then get frustrated cause the freezer King is always with his "Beauty"... kinda sounds like the evil green monster to me....

Today they were relentlous in badgering the freezer King....  we were unloading a truck... he was responsible for any boxes going to the clothing departments, Infant, shoes, and Electronics... somehow he ended up with Pets and Gardening also... while all the "Twin" did was food...    well even with his arms full of boxes a few might get towards the end of the belt and they're hollering "clothes, clothes, clothes" or "infants, infants, infants"... geez  poor guy was scrabling around trying to keep up with the demands of the truck and their screaming at him when he misses a box... poor things we must not have given them enough boxes to keep them busy enough that they wouldn't have to worry about what others are doing or not doing...

Of coarse being me.. when my tolerance reaches boiling point I tend to say something... which in turn gets Ms. Temper Tandrum biting my head off... basically cause I'm sticking my nose where it's not wanted.... but hey it's a free country.. I have a right to voice whatever same as she is...  I can be just as snippy as she can... I don't like people ganging up on others.. and I get tired of her snide remarks about others sometimes... like she's Ms. Regal Thing... ruling the ISS roost or something...

There are other people on the ISS team besides her....  other people who don't have to complain or be Witchy with a Capital B to get their work done... Some people respect others as they wanna be respected.... and sorry she hasn't shown me she wants to be respected....

    Wow, sounds like a wicked place to work to me.  I know the type you're talking about(Ms. Temper Tantrum).  It was nice of that guy to give you the pin.  There are some good fellow employees.   Hope the rest of your week is wonderful.
