Thumb

Got a puncture wound on thumb last night at work..didn't realization at first but when I did I had blood everywhere..LOL...for a small puncture it bleed like a son of a bitch..it got on my pants the floor the cart I was pushing around ..

Just thinking

<p>This morning me and Gina took a drive down to long beach and looked at the places we use to live..basically took a trip down memory lane.it made me realize our family is so different now..the holidays aren't what they use to be.our family is so broken right now..its just not the same since moms passing and I don't see it being able to be fixed..like its forever shattered.I think its time for me and Gina to pack a bag and move on.don't feel like there's a place here for us anymore..I was listening to iPod last night to all the old country stuff we would listen to with mom and dad on the weekends while we played cards or games or simply sat around and bullshitted..I miss my parents..I miss my family</p>...the holidays just make me think a lot I guess..anyway happy holidays everyone.

Happy mango

Coconut

Came across this at work other day..all that black stuff is the white part of the coconut...I droped it and it just fell open full of mold...kinda gross

Apples

I got over zealous when building a tower of apples...only two apples came tumbling down

In the mirror looking back

So getting ready for work this morning I was looking in the mirror and for the first time in a year I looked and felt like my old self.I didn't have that grey dead look.my face and hands no longer looked and felt like just skin and bones.I looked in the mirror and saw Gina looking back at me..its a good day..I feel amazing...this is the best I have felt in a year.

Happy holidays

Why?

Just checked the schedule for Christmas week..Gina got scheduled Christmas day..the store is closed christams day.she wasn't the only one scheduled like that.Gina said she's Gina show up and wave to the camera..I'm here...lol

usual faces in the crowd

well i have been back to work now about 3 weeks. my co-workers wont let me do to much so i wont hurt myself.my stomach muscles and hips are whats hurting since being back to work hopefully that stops soon. Even tho i was gone from work for almost 4 months it didnt change much. some new faces but still same conversations and gripes from people, usual bullshit. Its funny to see the same weirdos that shopped there before are still shopping there now for example: the oddball psycho woman who paints on two sets of eyebrows to her face to make sure her point gets across. the dude that comes in every morning at 5am to harass the produce people. we call him fanny pack.. yes he does wear a fanny pack. he always has his ads and coupons in hand telling us of the deals hes getting today. then continues to tell us all about his problems he is having with his family particularly with his sister. then there's the wacko security guard that patrols the parking lot who i swear talks to the walls of the building and patrols like he is on a mission.something is just not right with him you know. he was caught the other day with a handgun tucked into his pants while on on of these patrols.. kinda scary that one. there's a lady who comes in to buy one particular cup of yogurt week after week which 90% of the time sold out and she likes to raise hell about that.. that's some of the usual people. then yesterday we had some lady come in, she had two dogs in her shopping cart which, you guessed it, took a shit and piss in produce thankfully i was in the backroom when it happened. last week a guy was cruising around store in a motorized cart guess he got a bad case of the shits and he shit all over the store there was a trail behind the scooter. after he checked out maintenance found the pile he left on the bathroom floor. fucking gross. last week we also had this woman running around store telling people the apocalypse was coming, bunch of gloom and doom kind of stuff scaring some of the customers. when our undercover security caught up with her she was hiding the beef jerky around the store so she would know where to find it when the shit hit the fan..lol.. this entry is getting kinda long ill end it here...more work stories to come..

gina

at work yesterday gina was opening a box with her box cutter which contains new,sharp blades in it and as she was cutting box open the cutter slide right across the top of her thumb. she said it took her awhile to get it to stop bleeding.i think pic doesnt do her thumb justice.it looks worse then pictured. told her i would stitch it up for her she said no..lol..

From Drop Box

From Drop Box

so today at work i fucked up my finger and broke the endcap...i was pushing a cart between these two endcaps where there is a pole in between them from floor to ceiling.. i have made this turn a thousands times no problem..well this time my finger got smashed between the stuff on my cart and the woodwall of the endcap.. well long story short.. my finger got twisted up, it looked dislocated for a bit, and all swollen and the top of finger is all cut open...finger was been a nice shade of purple all day. had to fill out incident report ice it through out the day and keep the splint on when not icing it..my department manager didnt help me at all.she continued with what she was doing..the dpt manger in neighboring depart saw it and told me we got to get that fixed up and she helped me.my department manger still wanted me to downstock pallets and rotate watermelons..

From Drop Box

so a few months ago i saw an episode of that show doomsday preppers.. it got me thinking its a good idea to be prepared just in case the shit hits the fan.. so we put together a first-aid kit storing some food and water toilet paper.. that kinda thing.. then we tried to make a long bow out of pvc tubing.. that failed lol.. we just couldn't get it to work..lol.. then we tried to grow plants in a hydroponics systems.. we forgot to change out the water and killed the plants..lol..now working on making a solar powered usb charger out of those solar powered garden lights.. hopefully it works...also made a hobo stove out of a silverware caddy. that worked out nice.. then i got an empty paint can roll of toilet paper and some rubbing alcohol and lit it on fire.. got a nice little heater kind of thing..here some pics of theses little projects we have attempted.

shtf

i know its been awhile since last post.. but heres whats been going on work:same old bullshit different day.. im not being called into the office and getting in trouble like i was.. the last time i was in office it was for being to argumentative with my assistant manager (i really dislike that guy)..Gina is still getting shit for hours. we both have been trying to switch departments to get more hours but no luck.. they wont let us switch. kinda sucks. Health:im getting better...think im over my anemia.. i got my color back im not so dead looking now. i haven't had the heart palpitations in awhile and the muscle fatigue is at a minimum now.not as tired as i was i can actually do things now. life in general:its ok could be better but i guess it could be worse.. we went to the beach the other day here is some pics from that day.

fire,mold,fruit cups

well they are still giving away knives at work..they say they will be here for two weeks.. no incidents yet but i still carry my box cutter close..lol.. yesterday i get to work and im filling the roses and i drop a fucking case of them and it was like a flood..lol.. there was so much water in the bucket..so while im cleaning up the mess the emergency alarm goes.. no drill.. so i was almost completely out the store when management stopped me and was like its a false alarm...figures..well the alarm goes off about 5 more times. after the second one the home office sent the fire department over to check it out...it was funny customers were like im not leaving.. i was like ok..lol..fire department just went around checked emergency exits.. there was only two of us that actually headed for the door to evacuate.. makes me wonder why didn't more employees attempt to leave.. a bunch said they didn't know what to do.. kinda scary..
in produce since we got some much freight in lately we have a lot of citrus going bad.. well they had me and an other person go through two pallets of citrus to see what we could salvage..well nothing made it the mold was bad..there was clouds of mold.. and mold dust everywhere.bags of grapefruit were just disenagrated it was so bad they made us wear face masks.. which they had none and we had to store use some from pharmacy.. first they were gonna have me wear the face shield mask thing it looks like riot gear..lol.. but we got the ones from pharmacy. we should totaly get hazard pay for working here.
today i was pulling some apples front he top of a pallet in the cooler and i didnt realize there was a smaller box, a case of fruit cups, on top and that fucker slid down and hit me on the head..fucking hurt.. i can just see the headline "employee taken by fruit cups"..

life in general

so heres whats been going on..work is still sucks..they cut hours and we found out they need to fire 20 more people..and they are getting rid of a few upper management also.they are fucking with mine and ginas schedule. before they scheduled us within an hour of each other cause we carpool..well since new assistant manager started he refuses to put our times together..i tried to talk to him about it and all he says is i have no favors for people who work in produce..i was like wow you are a dick.so gina usual around 8am and i start like 2 or 3pm...hopefully it turns around. it was crazy yesterday they had a knife demonstrations in the store and they gave out free pairing knives to those who watched the demo..im thinking to myself..why in the hell would walmart arm the customers..lol...i had my box cutter close in hand during my shift yesterday..lol..
looks like next month we are going to vegas..gonna meet up with dad in vegas.. should be fun.. he always enjoys going to vegas..
