Starting off the
reminding myself to take some “Vitamin P” It's only three days
into the new year. And the half a pound that I gained over the last
few days are well within the normal expected fluctuations. And
although I haven't been 100% on my diet, I've been doing pretty okay.
Or at least I was
doing okay this morning. Roommate had a doctor's appointment this
morning so I didn't have time to cook the Bacon and Eggs that I
usually have. So I didn't have the normal breakfast, but Dr Berry
says that even if you just grab some hot dogs, that's still doing
good on the diet. But I figure the Johnsonville Jalapeno Sausages
taste better than the regular hot dogs. (Not sponsored)
And it was when I
was trying to buy breakfast I found out the craziness that I was
going to deal with all day. I was expecting it to be busy. It was the
first Friday of the Month/Year the Friday after a major holiday,
there's a pretty serious winter storm expected this weekend. Customer
Service Manager was nice enough to ask some people to work late and
come in early. But GOOD GOD I have never in the 22 and a half years
that I've worked at the store had ever seen anything like that
before. From the time I clocked in at 11am to the time I finally got
off at 8:15 (got out late) it was just a solid run the entire time.
There's a system that counts the number of people standing in line at
the store and how long they stand in line. They, naturally, want the
lines to stay short and people get through the lines quickly. So they
want the percentage of people standing next in line to be more than
about 80% and the average weight time to be less than 62 seconds. The
average wait time today was 190 seconds (more than 3 minutes) and there were a couple of
hours today that the “Que percentage” dropped to zero. That was
HOURS that the percentage of people that stood next in line was zero.
When I was let out for lunch normally the other person would open
another register and the person going to lunch would just shut down.
But today that would NOT have worked. There were two registers open
the entire day. And I'm pretty sure that the only reason that I still
have a job is because, thank Christ, nobody complained to me that
there weren't more registers open. And every time someone had a
frustration they didn't try to argue the facts about anything.
I did get out of the register for a moment or two to grab a Sugar Free Red Bull, but the shelf was wiped out so I got one from one of the register refrigerators. I don't like drinking drinks cold. And was reminded of that when I was trying to chug the red bull and started getting a headache
At lunch I was
too worn out to go home to have anything that I already planned out.
So I grabbed some fried chicken. It still took 12 minutes to get
checked out. I even went up to the desk to checkout there. Seriously the lines were going from the Self Checkout and the first two regular registers around the pharmacy and well into the Bakery. And most people reading this won't know how far that is, but that's the entire length of the front of the store and about half the side of the eastern side of the building.
It was insane today. I decided that I really wanted a beer. But I really didn't want a beer. I'm two and a half weeks in, I haven't been this far in since July. And I wouldn't want to drop off because of a crazy day. So I decided to buy some "Near Beer" I'm not sure if that counts, but I'm not in the mood to argue. But the store where I work was completely wiped out of a lot of stuff. So I ran over to the bigger store on the north end of town. And I couldn't see all of their stats, but their Average Wait Time is on their monitor, their wait time was 250 seconds (more than 4 minutes) I was going to pick up a Deli Pizza, but their store was more wiped out than ours was. So I was going to pick up a frozen pizza and the only kind left was the fancy (well "fancy" for Frozen Pizza) Red Baron Hand Tossed pizza. This is pretty good, but more than I'd normally pay for a frozen pizza.
A news story got
my attention, the Surgeon General is wanting to add a cancer warning
to alcoholic drinks. The news stories say that Alcohol is one of the
leading causes of cancer along with tobacco (not something that I
personally struggle with) and Obesity (something that I am DEFINITELY
struggling with). The types of cancer that they warn of are: Mouth,
Throat, Voice Box, Esophagus (odd that there's throat and esophagus
cancers) Breast, Liver (a bit obvious there) and, what got my
attention, Colon and Rectum cancer. That last one is the one that
took Dad. So I have a genetic history of that.
This is a late post because it took a couple of hours to recover from the SWARM all day at work.
