and now we ride the circus wheel…

I really really really didn’t want to go to work today.

Mr Scale is being stubborn and won’t budge from 216.4lbs. Rob says I’m being unreasonable in my demands. I demand satisfaction, dammit! He got mad at me because I was laying in bed last night and I said to him “rob? I only had something like 800 calories today.” He’s already constantly worried I’m not eating enough. Blah! Easy for him to say! He ate more than I did over last weekend and he’s dropping weight like crazy!

Rob called me at work and said
“I have good news and I have bad news”
“Okay.”
“Mom made brisket and we’re invited.”
“whats the bad news?”
“mom made brisket and we’re invited.”
“oh.”

So we went armed with LTF lo-carb whole wheat tortillas and diet sodas. Even Skinny Cow ice cream Sandwiches for dessert. My god. I do love brisket.

I’m tired. I’m sore. As usual. Michelle told me today that when she resigns as manager of the bakery (because she doesn’t want to move. Kroger moves managers around to different stores every 5 years) if she had the power to recommend myself or Yolanda as her replacement, she would. I thanked her for the compliment but respectfully declined. I explained to her that I’ve seen the way the employees take her for granted and she handles it quite well. On the other hand, I would not handle it as well. People already take me for granted in that I always do what needs to be done and then some. My colleagues tend to joke that I’m “sucking up” by doing everything everybody wants me to do, Michelle and I both agree that, au contraire, it’s not that I’m sucking up, it’s just that I actually take pride in my work rather than do the bare minimum.

The store manager said something totally boneheaded to me today. So I make fondant cakes for one of the showcases and I make one big one and two smaller ones. I tend to co-ordinate them in colour and design (because that just makes sense and it looks better). He told me today that he doesn’t want me to do it that way anymore because “customers think they have to buy all three.”.

Now I know the general public can be a little thick, but COME ON.

Today:

lunch: LC French Bread Pepperoni Pizza

dinner: 6 oz beef brisket, 3 ltf tortillas, 1 oz chedder cheese.

snacK: The Skinny Cow Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich

I think i’m okay? i don’t know.

work is taking over my life.

    mmm…brisket! that’s cool that you had brought some ltf tortillas…you truly are trying hard, so results will be around the corner.
    isn’t it an awesome feeling to know that if you wanted to bump yourself up, you have the qualifications? i always felt great when upper management let me know i could have a position if i wanted it…happy weekend!

    Does that mean customers don’t buy a can of tomatoes because they think they have to buy them all to have a matched set? No steak because they’d have to buy the whole cow?

    Tsk, tsk, this attitude has got to improve if you’re going to get that Employee of the Month parking space.

    Well it’s a good thing because you’d never make it with your attitude, young lady!
