I had a notification from PayPal. Roommate had sent me the usual amount to cover his half of the rent and "help" with the bills. In the note that I left to announce my intention to move out I told him that I'd leave the decision of rent reimbursement to his discretion I guess that was what he decided to do. I did think of sending a text thanking him. But thought that might come across as sarcastic or harsh. Also had a surprise on the scale. Three days on a row below the Morbidly Obese level! These numbers are crazy.  I was also surprised to see Roommate wake up before I had to go to work. I was busy running around getting things ready to move out tomorrow night. I did try to stay out of his way, but he did seem to...

Sober Month 5 (Day 169)

Had a chuckle when I woke up this morning. I saw a headline that apparently the shareholders of the parent company of my store think that the staff is underpaid and they are supposedly asking the company to pay us a “Living Wage” of at least $19 to $20. Yeah, that's not going to happen. I had just gotten a 25 cent raise. Raising it to $20, would be a nearly 25 PERCENT raise. Which would be a fun idea, it's just not going to happen.

There was a digital coupon for the name brand coffee last week so I had took advantage of that to buy “Black Silk” flavored coffee, and I can't say that I like that flavor, it just tastes burnt. I usually drink the Breakfast Blend of the store brand. Every once and a while I'll pick up a darker blend out of curiosity and then remembering that I don't really like the darker blends of coffee. I added a bit of cream to the coffee and that helped with the flavor.

For lunch I had some Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages. I had eaten those really quick because I had promised Mom that I would go over to the church to help her with the set up for Tomorrow's Party that we're throwing for Grandma's Birthday. But apparently I had gotten there after everything was already done. Or at least during a lull in the action as not much was happening while I was there.

Maybe I was just too distracted while I as at lunch. Right before I had clocked out for lunch I was called up to the office for a meeting with the managers. A cashier had just turned in her Two Week Notice. Last night she had an order that had a lot of items that were rang up incorrectly and a lot of other items that needed the price corrected. And as the customers were getting upset and she was getting frustrated with the order I had figured the best way to fix the order was to cancel the order and just ring it back up again. But the cashier interpreted that as the customers “chewing her out” and I was “Chewing her out” and she was just done with everything in the store. And the managers told me that there were lots of incidents in my file of me, “yelling at people” and “being rude” to people. And the manager knew of lots of occasions were I was “yelling at people” I tried to explain that I was only trying to be heard in the noisiness of the store. My voice just doesn't seem to be able to be heard when it gets loud in the store. And lately a lot of people are yelling, not angry, just yelling. So I'm emphasizing my words to try to be heard. But apparently that's just unacceptable. Basically I'm just one hurt fee fees from being turned over to HR and, “That doesn't ever go well for the associate”

So basically I'm going to be walking on eggshells and edges of razor blades, praying that I don't have to be too, “forceful” with anybody or I'll just be out of the only job that I've ever had. What would happen after that? I have no idea. I wouldn't trust Roommate to pick up the slack on Bills, Rent, Food, etc. Mom had told me that she'd like me to stay with her. But for how long would I stay with her? Would I ever be able to get a new job that would sustain my situation at hire?

I worked a bit later than I usually do because I was scheduled to close the customer service desk so when I got home I didn't want to do much so I just threw some steaks in the oven.
