Friday!!

 That's right!  After 5 complete days, my Friday has finally arrived.  I cannot wait this work day is over, especially since I know every day I have to work at the store is one less day until I go part-time. 

My brother sent me a text yesterday telling me he wanted to have a little family get-together over the labor Day weekend.  He had mentioned this over breakfast a while back and I had told him I work every holiday.  I reminded him of what I had said.  I did put in a request, but I know it's going to be denied.  He suggested Sunday, September 12 if Labor Day doesn't work, which is 4 weeks away.  He, like so many other people, does not understand there are over 200 associates working in my store, and many of them want weekends off, and they can begin requesting for those weekends 90 days in advance.  This is why a majority of my Fridays begin on Tuesday, or Wednesday.

So, I got a notification from my running pod that the battery needed to be replaced.  It turned out to be not so easy peasy because the sucker's tiny.  Now it doesn't work and I'm tempted to throw it in the garbage.  My watch does the same thing, except it doesn't provide all of the details, and I'm wondering if maybe for me, the details aren't as important as they are for someone who needs to track their runs.

And I saw where they're predicting the climate is going to get worser quicker, at least that's what a UN report is stating.  Of course, you know it's going to run into the brick wall that is Conservativism.  Their focus is on making money, and greed.  What's actually happening is that the planet is getting warmer, and that warmth is hastening evolutionary changes in many, if not all species.  These are two truths Conservatives will never believe.  To do so, they would need to admit that everything they believe, or at least most of everything they believe, is an utter lie.  And like Liar #45, the truth is nearly impossible to find in their minds.  But don't worry, as part of the evolutionary process, they will die off.

A price for Everything

Well, Black Friday is officially over.  We were busy, but super busy, not like it used to be.  The giant home improvement retailer I work for now opens at their standard time.  White we do have seemingly miles of aisles of product (junk), our major revenue categories are:  appliances (best time of the year to buy one), hardware (everybody needs a tool), and garden (deck the halls and all that jazz).  This isn't to say customers don't buy the specialty products (junk) we stock our aisles with, they do, but basically they shop for something in one of those 3 specialty categories.
There were times when our store was busy, but never over crowded.  There were no long lines at the registers.  And, as always on holidays, the fed us.  This year we had immigrant food.  What is immigrant food?  We had tacos - both soft and hard, and nachos... lots of nachos.  We will probably have nachos for days to come.  That's fine.  And it's immigrant food because many Americans embrace these foods from south of the border.  Sadly, for America, there are some people who like the food but not the people.  They are called racists.  We have one in the White House.  He would love a world without Latinos.  Luckily for America, that will never happen.  Brown skin and black skin are here to stay.
Oh, and don't look at your 401k!!!  Last week was not good for those intending to retire in the coming months.
The weather this AM is supposed to be on the shitty side, a little freezing rain is supposed to start just as I leave for work.  This is fine.  It will turn to rain as the temps heat up.  Tomorrow is supposed to be nice, with the temps up in the 50's (F), and I'm off.  Some stuff is planned.  And no, I'm not planning on reading the new Federal Government Climate Report which damns everything the Idiot Jerk in the White House is doing.  You have to remember, the Idiot Jerk is all about Greed.   The idea that there will be a price to pay for everything doesn't even occur to him, and, if for some chance it should, he will spit out "that bill will be long due after I'm dead." What an asswipe.
