Mondays

I set a goal for myself back in March (when I got back into the swing of things at the gym) that I wanted to reach 384 miles -- and my reward would be a trip to the beach.   After today, my total is 349 miles...  in 8 months of work.  None of these miles were counted by steps at work, or zipping the dog around the block in the morning to do her morning business.  It was time at the gym, or weekend intentional walks of a mile.  That averages out to 43.5 miles a month... and I'm pretty happy about this!

Otherwise, it was a typical manic Monday:  Managers at work are doing things, making changes, updating routines --- sadly, they're forgetting to tell the people who actually DO them.  lol  stupidity at its finest, IMO.  How hard can it be to communicate? 

Which leads me to my next GRRRR of the day: 
10 minutes before I'm ready to leave, and a manager tells me:
there's a HazMat compliance walk by our Regional person tomorrow; they're cleaning out some of the broken bags in Lawn & Garden and do I want the products now? 
Um, excuse me, no thank you, I'm leaving in 10 minutes.  How many bags are we talking about ? 
Ohhh, 15 or so.  
Gee, so I get to walk into that mess in the morning then ??  

Yippee skippy,

It's gonna be a really great day.  Lovely, just lovely. 
Guess I'm gonna be going in at 5 instead of 6 -- but this time I won't stay late.  Come 2pm and I'm gone! I was telling a friend about this, and she said "I"d stay late if it meant more money".  Yeah, me too.  But extra time accumulated early in the week means I have to take long lunches.  What do you DO with a 3 hour lunch???  UGH.   It used to be if we stayed extra for them, they'd allow us to leave early on our Friday.  So that made a weekend feel just a bit longer.  The way management has it set up now, there's no give and take, no reason for me to do them a favor, they don't grant it back.  Sadly, this BigBox store will lose sales and key opportunities because they make a rule and never bend. For anyone. 

Ok.... I had dinner, walked the dog, time for a shower and some Antiques Roadshow.  Or The Voice.  :)
Both if I can stay awake long enough to switch back and forth. haha
