Hello Tuesday! Today's forecast is sunshine with the temps climbing up into the low 80s (F). I can live with this. And, of course, since this is Tuesday I am not scheduled to work. In fact, for the next few weeks I'm only working weekends and Mondays.
I did work yesterday and it was slow. Very slow. The orange retailer I work for is initiating a new policy regarding specialist, we need to make our measure goal and sales or we take the risk of being written up. Yep, that's right, if you don't reach your goals you're going to be put on notice. This is because sales are... not what they want. They ignore the fact that you can't get measures if customers are not walking into the specialty departments. I suspect what they want to do is turn us into the flooring version of a used car salesman.
I did look at Twitter yesterday, but not much. It has changed so much. Some of the people I followed have moved on to other social media platforms. Others either don't seem to post as much, or are being blocked. At one time, I posted regularly, now that rarely happens. One thing, however did seem to trend for a bit and that was the discussion of Martha Stewart appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated' s swimsuit edition. She's 81. Some people were very upset. Here's the cover pic, evidently heavily airbrushed, and there's no telling how much makeup they lathered on her face for her to look like this.
