Ok, I haven't blogged in a while. Sorry about that.
Went back to work on Monday. Yippee. You know its funny; the more things change, the more they stay the same. For example, they had security keycard locks installed on the doors at work. Why, I don't know. But its a system that logs who uses what door, or at least, when a door is opened, in the case of leaving the building. And people still manage to sneak out and smoke. I've been put on the most boring job in there, pushing Wal-Mart rolls into an automatic bagger. Wooo. The floor is full of work, but they are only running a few slitters, at least on my shift. Wanna know why? Turns out that we are short on packers. Wanna know why? THEY LAID THEM OFF. From what I understand, it had something to do with they employee//income ratio. Apparantly, we had too many employees for the money we are making. Makes sense right? Heh.
Oh, I didn't mention what happened before work. Yeah. Well, my mother was supposed to come down and watch the boys so I could leave. I called her about 12:30. She said fine, she'd leave her house around 2:30. Its around a 20 minute drive. I told her, I had to leave by 3. So... 3 o'clock rolls around. She's not here. I call her house. Dad answers. My hope perks, thinking maybe she's just late and will be here any minute. no such luck. She forgot. Yup. Even my dad was pissed. And I was pissed even more, because this happened the last 2 times I asked her to watch the boys so I could go to work. Well, she didn't foget then, she was late. But I still lost money, and it goes on your record, and they have been being VERY stricy at work about discipling people about lateness and absenteeism. (Is that a word?) And the last thing I need is to get canned because of something outside of my control. Oh well, gotta finish cleaning.
