Well, it's Monday and the temps are supposed to climb into the upper 80s (F) today. Tomorrow, they're supposed to be dropping, with highs in the mid 70s (F). Honestly, the 80s are fine with me. Last night I turned on the ceiling fan in the bedroom. That's it. Of course, things are going to be getting much warmer as we head into summer.
Today is Juneteenth and, since it's not Thanksgiving or Christmas, the store is open. And no, we are not running and special deals right now. The next ones will not arrive until July 4, and the only good deals you're going to find then are in the appliance department. Sales last week were slow. This is not going to change anytime soon.
The Orange retailer I work for has its on Social Media system called Yammer. I ignore it because, well, I don't feel the need to chatter about life in the workplace. One of our kitchen designers finds Yammer fascinating. He's on it a lot. According to him, the hottest topic right now is about how slow business is, yes the slow down is effect business country wide. Ho... Hum. Maybe they should stop raising their prices to hit their plan. However, if they did that the cost of their stock would fall and... well, some billionaire might lose money.
I usually start the day with a healthy breakfast. This is what mine looked like today. Honestly, it's what it looks like most days.
Tim Scott thinks he's gonna win anything by talking about how the Left hates him and is afraid of him. And the Left is like, "Who?"
ReplyDeleteNot only the Left, the Centrists are scratching their heads, too.
Delete"Maybe they should stop raising their prices to hit their plan. However, if they did that the cost of their stock would fall and... well, some billionaire might lose money." You have just described capitalism. Also, Yammer???
ReplyDeleteLove your breakfast, very Müsli of you. Fruits are always a plus. I should eat more nuts, the problem is that I adore pistachios but with sea salt. Not a breakfast thing.
And Meatball Ron and Jabba the Orange are gonna get in to it and I can't wait. Chris Christie has nothing to lose. He'll never get the nom. But it's entertaining hearing him blast the other two.
Kennedy? Ugh. I can't. Hopefully he WILL disappear. There's a ton of money behind him, though...
XOXO
Yammer is Twitter for Orange associates.
DeleteI would have respected Governor Christie much more had he been on the backlash Dan wagons against Trump from the very beginning. Too little too late.
ReplyDeleteAs far as our company goes they leave it up to each employee whether they want to work Juneteenth or not.
I've heard he knows he's never going to get the nomination, and is just doing this to ruin everything Trumpian.
DeleteEnjoy that cooler weather before it really warms up, Dave. And your breakfast looks pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI love that breakfast!
DeleteI have a colleague who retired around 20 years ago and whenever I meet up with her she wants to talk about who's doing what in the Agriculture Division. She knows nobody any more and why would you care anyway. While I'm happy to see former colleagues and friends, the last thing I want to do is talk about what's going on at work!
ReplyDeleteThis does say something about those who's lives unfortunately only revolve around the work they do.
