MewMew Power

This will probably never do a lick of good, but I want to do my part to googlebomb the Mew Mew Alliance to the top of searches for the "MewMew Power" crap that 4kids is now turning Tokyo Mew Mew into. You may leave now. If you were ever even here...

I've been feeling steadily worse all week. At first I thought it was just bad allergies, but now I'm getting non-allergy symptoms, like a stuffed up head (rather than just my nose), and a sick feeling in my throat and lungs. Meh... I might just call in tonight. I've got a week's worth of sicktime to use. And I found out the other day, if you don't use your sicktime, they buy it back from you at 50%. That's right. So they pay you more to not come in to work than they do if you show up every day. Way to motivate...

Kind of an odd night at work last night. I was feeling a bit off to begin with, and straight away I was put on a special project. We are gradually converting all of the racking in our store from 16 feet high to 12feet, some kind of safety thing. I was asked to drop all of the endcaps along the front aisle. Those are the racking that faces the front aisle, situated on the end of the racking of the smaller inside aisles. Anyways, for most of the job I will need to use an order picker, which is a lift truck that takes the driver up on a platform to reach high places. Handy, but it can't pick up pallets. You need a reach truck for that. Rather than trying to hog 2 pieces of equipment to myself all night, I went to my coworkers in each department and asked them if they could, if they got a chance, drop some of the pallets that needed to come down so I wouldn't have to keep switching. About half an hour later, I get a page from my boss, and he starts asking me if I'm going to work all the freight that the people who were now dropping pallets would have been working had I not asked them to. I, a bit dumbstruck, said nothing. Eventually, he said he could tell I felt bad about it, so he'd let me go. I walk off not sure what to think, because I thought I was doing the right thing. Later when he saw me, he said that he wasn't sure whether he wanted to kick my ass or to hug me for taking the initiative and delegating. I settled for none of the above ^_^. But by the end of the day, the general impression I got was that I did the right thing, he was just surprised to see people leaving their stuff for a few minutes to help me out. It's not like I said "Drop what you're doing right now and get those pallets down," but a couple of them *did* drop what they were doing, and I think he assumed I told them to. But it's all cleared up, and I think he was impressed, overall. Maybe. Ugh...

I feel all weird today because my sleep schedule is slightly off. Tuesday nights I head in to work 2 hours late because I stay 2 hours late Wednesday mornings for this safety committee I'm on. For a committee, we're actually fairly effective, I think. Anyways, this means that I'm a bit off-balance and have less time to kick it after work Wednesday mornings. Meh... I'm also hungry, but my stomach feels all weird so I'm not sure if I want to eat.

Looks like I'm only marginally more emotionally stable than you, Syth. I shudder to think how Sickle would score...

OK, that junk aside... I'm still eating that spaghetti I made a couple days ago. Still good, though now it's pretty much a mass of pasta, not really any noodle forms left. Work was alright last night. Very little freight once again, got to shuffle around helping other people finish up, yadda yadda... Had to sit down and chat with the boss about the times I've forgotten to punch in/out. This stuff mostly happened in a string of occurrences several months ago, but for x amount of occurrences, he's got to first talk with me, then document it, then write me up, and then ultimately fire me. But I'm nowhere near there yet, and my boss would probably bend over backwards to keep me from getting fired. He's pretty cool, and I'm a pretty good worker ^_^. He does seem to share my old (and Syth's current) boss's opinion about talking while working, though. Fortunately, THD is a much bigger place, and I'm generally out of earshot ^_^. Sorry, Syth :P.

I spent all night reading, so I never really got my circulation going to get fully awake. Been sleepy all night. Oh well, I'll just head to bed early this morning and hope I'm good for work tonight. Wish I hadn't eaten so much, though. I'm so full, it hurts a bit to lie down -_-. (Am I boring you yet?)

1 pound of pasta + 1.5 pounds of sauce + 0.5 pounds of cheese = goooooooood.... Oh, plus whatever water was absorbed into the pasta, of course. I'll probably be eating this stuff into tomorrow. Good thing it's so tasty... ^_^

Fan-fscking-tastic. I slept right through my alarm and woke up 6 hours later, so the visit to Syth and Sickle never happened. *shakes an angry fist at his self* Oh well. Se la vie... I mean, umm... Ikiteru wa sou iu koto da.

Pretty easy night at work. Not much freight to speak of, so I spent most of the night getting every air conditioner and fan I could find down on the selling floor so we can loot people more efficiently. Then I got to spend some time sitting at a training comp, learning about stuff I'll never need to know, but which Home Depot wants to pay me to know anyway. Works for me... Now it's finally Saturday morning, my weekend has begun, and things are looking alright. Gonna go hassle Syth and Sickle tonight... For now I'm just chilling and boring you all with my rambling.

Well, here I am. Baring my soul to the unwitting intarweb. Yeehaw...

What? My bared soul is very bare. Buh-bye now...
