Cutting Carpet

 The rain has returned.  For today and tomorrow, my days off, of course, steady soaking rains are in the forecast.  Temps will hover in the mid 60s (F), so that means another return to sweatpants and sweatshirts.  Our future forecast doesn't look much sunnier.  Showers and thunderstorms are scattered throughout the long range forecast.  All of this rain we're getting is coming up from the south, so while we here in Central PA are dealing with the persistent showers, those down south are dealing with heavy rains.

Work was interesting.  When I got there, the full time associate had already left for the day; he'd mentioned taking his granddaughter to see Thunderbolts on Sunday.  Our aisle associate called to say he was coming in late; it was a beautiful sunny day and he doesn't like to work.  So it was me... any my supervisor.  Ten minutes after I sat down at the flooring desk a customer showed up wanting 16 linear feet of carpet.  Cutting that much carpet is a 2 person job and I was by myself.  As I stepped out into the middle aisle to see who was available, my supervisor returned.  When I asked her to help cut the carpet she said, "I can't.  I have to go to lunch.  I have a meeting," and walked away.  Hell's Bells!  She's in charge of the department and she's prioritizing her lunch over customer service.  So I reported her to the Specialty Manager.  I do believe she has time management issues.

Here's an updated pic of the Greek Oregano I'm growing on the windowsill. It's coming along nicely.

So, during my boring moments at work I look at social media on my phone.  Yesterday there was a lot of chatter about the $400 million jet that the Qataris are giving the Orange Anus.  From some of the clips I saw I'd have to say he is not happy with all of the questions he's getting ask.  I truly enjoyed the clip where he snapped at the reporter from ABC news.  Wow! the anger in his voice.  He was furious at the sniveling audacity of a news reporter to ask him about the legitimacy of accepting gifts from foreign countries worth millions.  And, as everyone should have expected, he lied.  He said that the plane was a gift to the US military when in reality it is a gift to him; when he leaves office that plane becomes the property of the Orange Anus presidential library, which means it is his.  He owns it.  And he's not going to let it go.

Oh, and he signed an Executive Order reducing the prices of drugs.  Don't believe it.  Big Pharma is going to take that order to court and years from now, when they've won, they will take that piece of paper and use it to wipe their asses.
