Oh the pain

Oh the pain

So I get to work and clock in... First thing we are all sent out to do a cart round up... our night time Cart guy had just got to work st the same time... there was no carts what so ever....  Luckily we had a nice breeze and I had my "Air Conditioned" shirt on LOL....  oh and can't forget the kewl shades....

Looks like the Asst. Manager didn't dress up... they might have postponed it... as the Co-manager wasn't there....

Oh did I mention lately that I work in Candyland... I'm Wal-mart "Wallie Wonka"...  yeah yeah  I know it's actually supposed to be Willie Wonka....  but hey it's Wal-mart... Wallie World.....  LOL    I'm the Instock person responsible  for stocking all the candy and sometimes the candy at the registers.... though lately I've been only doing Aisle 1 Candy in Grocery....   gotta make sure there's enough Peanut M&M's so the world doesn't have a melt-down or something LOL

Though I gotta do the candy inbetween door greeting, Unloading trucks (all 3 kinds: Grocery, Frozen/dairy, and General Merchandise), gotta seperate the "Break pack" boxes off the GM Trucks, seperate the Red Totes, Get carts, Help with Go-backs, help with carry outs, answer phones in all departments if I'm near by, help customers, seperate a certain Palette that comes in that has Pharmacy, grocery, baby food, register items and candy all mixed together....  Some days I never get to the Candy.. I hate it... 1 or 2 people can't keep Candy fully stocked every day... it's impossible... People buy this stuff like crazy......  especcialy on holidays...

Today was a sorta good day... got 2 carts done myself and helped the New "Candy Lady" (Candy Merchandise Supervisor) with her cart... or was she helping me with mine.. oh well... between the 2 of us we threw 3 carts of frieght onto the floor....

Then half the night was spent pulling palettes and zoing apparel....  I went to my usual zoning area... the Womens Bras, Underwear, socks and nighties...  What makes a person have to rip a package of Underwear open?? Can they not read.. do they not know what size undies they wear??? and they can't tear them nicely or even stuff the underwear back in the package.. they just stick it all on top of the pegs.. so eventually it falls to the ground...  So when I zone it up I gotta match Undies to packaging and fix it by taping it all back up.... it's time consuming when got a whole armful load of them like that...  and then the bras aren't even hung on the pegs right...  the whole hanger is hanging there instead of just the Hanger hook.....or bras have fallen and are hanging on other bras...   the other thing we gotta look for is if the hangers are going the right way....

The clothing has to hang on the hanger with the opening of the "Hook" looking left... makes it look like a question mark.... but sometimes it is backwards

my feet hurt like crazy.. actually my whole right leg hurts from Hip down.. but I'm having trouble getting my little toes to calm down.. the pain is radiating.. can't stand to have anything touch it when hurts...Doc says I'm getting the opposite of a bunion... who knows....

Just one more day then sleep...... yeaaaaaaaaa

    That's the way I hang things-to the left.  Never thought of the question mark look though.  Sounds like you were really busy.  Have a great weekend.
