We'll see if that continues Trying to think of anything to say. But when I got home my brain just shut down. Today went really smoothly. The store has a promotion for $5 dozen donuts and someone had bought several dozen for the break room. I know that I shouldn't have, but I had a couple of them during my 15 minute break as I had worked a 5:3 split today. Having donuts resets the Keto Kount. I thought about not saying anything, because nobody would know if I didn't tell anybody. But a lie of omission is still a lie, and I'd just be lying to myself. I did grab some sour cream for the Gumbo, and that did tur...

Had a slight moment of euphoria this morning when I weighed in and the weight this morning was below the short target. But it faded as I had to get ready for work. At least I had time to make breakfast. I could feel the good mood deflate as I drove to work.

After I clocked in I stopped in the restroom real quick, and the belt buckle snapped off. So that put me into a great mood. The jeans that I was wearing fit enough that they weren't immediately dropping off, but I had to keep adjusting them the entire first half of the day. And naturally I was working a 5:3 split today, so I had to work five hours before lunch. I ran home for lunch and grabbed the old belt that was stretched out to hell and back. The old belt is so stretched out that the loose end (not sure of the name of that part) wraps almost all of the way around by waist.

When I got up to the front it wasn't very busy just yet. There was only one cashier at the time but that's all we needed at the time and I was actually the supervisor the entire day. (A day when I joke to myself that I'm actually going to be doing my job) I grabbed the daily schedule list and started looking over who I was going to be working with. And then I looked up...the cashier was gone. I asked the lady in customer service where the cashier went. The lady in customer service scoffed and rolled her eyes. I demanded to know where the cashier went. It was a Sunday right before the church crowd is about to come in and there aren't any registers open. If the cashier had ran to the restroom that would be fine, they just have to have me or someone else open a register so there would be a register open. After a bit of prodding the customer service lady told me that the cashier is the trans person and “she” had to go to the pharmacy. And a bit more prodding revealed that s/he felt like they had high blood pressure so they had to go home. Reminds me of the videos where Dr Berry says that most peoples' doctors take their blood pressure wrong and it will always read that you have high blood pressure if you're not in a certain frame of mind or setting. And if you're being active and are building yourself up, you will have high blood pressure. I don't know their medical history so maybe I'm being unfairly judgmental. But it would make for a convenient excuse to get off whenever you feel like it by just saying that your blood pressure is getting high. Heck, I'm pretty sure if they tested my blood pressure most of the day it would look like I'm ready to explode.

There was a moment at the store when the music on the intercom kind of broke my brain. I recognized Disturbs' Land of Confusion playing over the intercom. I was just kind of gobsmacked that they were actually playing Disturbed over the intercom. There are some other songs that would be VERY entertaining to see people reacting to the lyrics of.

I did have a satisfying moment when I told an old man to “grow up” he was throwing a tantrum because he wanted to buy a mixed veggie tray that had a cup of dip in the middle of it. But he wanted to buy the veggie tray that he special ordered. The special ordered veggie tray doesn't have a cup of dip. He wanted the veggie tray to have a cup of dip without buying the tray that had a cup of dip in it. He was standing there literally stamping his foot because he didn't want the veggie tray with dip in it he wanted the veggie tray that he was buying to have a cup of dip in it. He was shouting this as three other associates were shouting for me and the only register open was starting to back up. So I just told him to grow up and I opened up another register. He stood there for a bit and just stared at me. There was nothing else I could do for him and there was other people that I could actually help. I'm not sure if it is because I'm on vacation next week or the realization that nothing I do at the store would be enough for the store, but I'm just done trying to argue with people.
