I know that it's going to be a “Vitamin P” kind of thing, but it would be nice if the waist line was as dynamic as the scale. I have noticed over the last couple of days the gut had been more “Saggy” and soft. Good news is that means I'm losing fat, bad news is that it's going to start drooping under my shirt if I'm not careful. But I'll take saggy gut over sore feet any day of the week. And on that point feet and shins felt amazing this morning. It sucked last night a screw came out of the back of my computer chair. I was able to put the screw back in. And it seems to be holding, but for a while I was thinking that I was going to have to buy a new one. That would kind ...

It would be nice to lose some weight in the beginning of the year. I mean being up 0.1 to 0.4 pounds (45 to 181 grams) per day isn't an emergency, it's just that only having ups this early in the year makes the spreadsheets look kind of ridiculous. According to the current trend I'm going to be be 516.6 lbs (234.3 kg) by the end of 2026. I'm not sure if I'd like to be a quarter of a US Ton, but I'm pretty sure that my knees would sure as hell wouldn't. They're grumpy enough as it is.

Yesterday it seemed like the entire state of Kansas was trying to squeeze through the two registers that they were nice enough to give us. This morning a guy asked if they were able to get anybody to finally stock the bread because when he came in yesterday around 5pm the entire bread wall was wiped out and nobody would get any for him out of the back. I told him that I was informed yesterday evening that all of the bread was gone. All of the Bread, Eggs, and Milk was out on the shelf, if it wasn't on the shelf we didn't have it. He said that he understood that, but he couldn't figure out why we couldn't get more out of the back. Apparently he understood that we were sold out, but he couldn't understand why we couldn't get any more out of “the back”

It took me a while to get over a guy that felt it necessary to inform me that, “there are several slick spots” around the parking lot. There was freezing rain the entire day. Every time there's an ice storm someone seems to think it necessary to say that the giant concrete, asphalt slab outside of the store might be slippy when ice is falling out of the sky.

Had fried chicken for lunch as I didn't want to drive home for lunch because of the weather. It was just ice all day long. But I was hearing about idiots getting into crashes all day. And I already had the smoked sausages for breakfast as I was scheduled to work earlier than normal. And sure I probably could have found something a little more low carb, but some people had came through with fried chicken and it smelled really good. 

Something that did NOT smell good was a guy came through the line, but bumped a pack of beer against a display and it punctured one of the cans spraying Milwaukee's best all over the register. Oh, God that stuff smells nasty. 

Our town is famous for a salt mine. And the store ran out of sidewalk salt. People kept getting confused as there is a salt mine museum just south of town, how can the store be out of salt when there's a giant salt mine right here in town. I kind of wanted to ask them if they thought that they just scraped the salt off of the walls of the museum. To throw out on the sidewalks and streets. The funny thing is that the store even ran out of water softener salt. The thing about that salt is that, yes, it'll get rid of the ice on your sidewalk. But I'm pretty sure that it dissolves the concrete in your sidewalk as well. It's not like it's just sodium chloride being dumped out everywhere. One kid I work with said, “You can't have ice on your sidewalk, if you don't have a sidewalk”

It's also kind of funny listening to the news trying to sensationalize the storm, “IT'S GOING TO BE THE STRONGEST STORM OF THE YEAR SO FAR!!” Um, yeah, it's literally the fourth day of the year so far. And so far this winter has been quite warm. In fact December last year is what October is supposed to be like. It's kind of funny that they're now expecting over a foot of snow. It's almost like winter is trying to catch up. 

The girl that was scheduled to close the desk had called in saying that she couldn't get to work as she lived in the next town over, so I had to close the desk, but I was scheduled to work until 7 and the desk usually closes at 9pm. Thankfully it was quite quiet while I was closing the desk. A couple of ladies had walked up to the desk as I was walking out, but they didn't try to argue when I told them that I had to close the desk early. They swore a bit, but they didn't argue.
