WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

Good afternoon everyone.... I'm so frustrated with my new job I almost walked out today!  I started my first day Friday and I asked the HR lady if we were allowed to wear jackets/sweaters if were cold because you know how since we have lost a lot of weight we get cold easier.  Well, during training I about froze to death so Fri. I brought a sweater.  It was a nice sweater that did match our uniform (black pants/white shirt).  I didn't need it Friday so I left it in my locker there.  Today I needed it so when I went on break I put it on and went back up to the registers after break.  Not long after that this manager lady walks up to me and says that we aren't supposed to wear jackets we are suppose to layer under our uniform.  I told her that I was told it was ok to wear a jacket and I told her about my surgery and how I get cold easily and I asked her if I needed to take it off?  She goes, "Well, let me check on that" she never came back so I didn't take my sweater off.  I mean this is stupid!  Don't you think layering clothes is more tacky then wearing a nice sweater?  Damn do I need a Dr's excuse to wear a jacket?  Another thing your not supposed to have any drinks at your register well, I told them from the start that I had to have water to sip on through out the day it was mandatory so of course they wanted a Dr's excuse so yesterday Margie faxed me one and I took that in today.  I didn't drink any of my water today cause Friday about 4 people came up to me and wanted to know why I had water at my register and I had to explain each time why.  Today I was thinking, "you people do not pay me enough to put up with this crap and I'm not going to eighter."  They had 12 registers open plus 4 self checkouts and so all 12 of us was standing out in front of our registers waiting for customers to come.  Then they got on to us saying how we are supposed to talk to every customer that walks by so if a customer walks down the front by all 12 of us then all 12 of us are supposed to say, "Hi, how are you today are you finding everything ok?" Ok how stupid is that do you want 12 people asking you that as you walk by?  It's one thing to be nice and polite and smile as they walk by but this is over kill if I went into a store and had all these people asking me things I wouldn't want to go back I'm there to shop if I need help I will ask for it other wise leave me a lone!  Because they had so many cashiers there which was so stupid I think I had maybe 10 customers the entire time I was there!  I'm already not liking this place wish there were other grocery stores here but only Dillons! Sorry, I just had to vent a little....lol I have been so cranky today since I have been home even my dogs are getting on my nerves and I don't like feeling that way maybe the job has to go and I have to find something else?  Like I said they do not pay me enough to continue this. I made taco's last night fixed my plate and took maybe 2 small bites and didn't want any more of it.  It sounded good at the time but after I fixed everything I no longer wanted it....it's weird but I do that a lot something sounds good so I'll fix it then I don't want it! I have noticed that I have been losing a lot of hair like when I take a shower or comb my hair.  My hair was already thin to begin with now it's getting really thin which is worrying me.  I take my biotin and I got this shampoo stuff called Nixon it's supposed to help with thinning hair or hair loss I got it at a salon in KC so far I can't see that it's helping but they did say it would take about 3-4 weeks to notice a difference?  I just don't want to lose all my hair and go bald in places I have worked to hard to get it this long to lose it all.....I'm going to try and up my protein see if that helps? Well, I'm tired going to rest maybe take a short nap and destress!!!!! Take care everyone and I hope your having a great day!

My hernia surgery has been moved toward the end of september due to all the vacations etc... unless it becomes an emergency. I can live without the tummy tuck. I just don't have enough vacation & sick time banked to be off over a week or so. Starting to get a little feeling in my feet! Its been a long few months and its an improvement. Still having to go to therapy twice a week. They have me now doing exercises to help strengthen my back. Keep telling myself - positive thoughts as like attracts like! All the rain has ruined my greenbeans - they are ok for cooking but not up to my standards to can. Hopefully the next crop will be better. I had a bite of a chocolate browning and tolerated it well and 30 minutes later had another bite with no problems. Then 90 minutes later I walked thru the kitchen and the brownies called to me and I had another tiny little bite - wrong thing to do! 20 minutes later I dumped big time. Dad asked me if I was ok thru the bathroom door and I told him I was dying and when I was done he could call the coroner. I will not do that again. You learn alot by tial & error!!! Neighborhood kids are shooting firecrackers off left & right - my poor dogs are shaking on their feet. Poor babies just 4 more days. Ordered a set of luggage for my daughter Stephanie from fingerhut for her birthday - July 4th. They were regular $120 but on sale for $59 and then I got another 25% off so I am getting the set for with shipping for $57. I just hope she gets them in time for her special day. I got her that as they are being sent to Japan in September and figured she could use them. It gets harder to buy for your kids the older they get! I know she will have to put a lot of stuff in storage while they are stationed there and then its hard to get stuff sent to an "apo" address if you order it. Hopefully it won't be as hard to get things they need in Japan as hard as it was when they were in Spain. I need to go pick a mess of beans for dinner and see if there are any squash to pick. Have a great evening Everyone! Shannon

Just wanted to say YEA that you dumped. Yes, thats right, I am glad for you, so many people don't dump and it really is a good thing. It keeps us from going nuts and gaining our weight back again. I am glad they didn't have to call the coroner.LOL
